Buckeye Hunter how high are you going to have to raise your stand now?      

Yes - when in doubt, do not kiss the monkey.  Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty good rule for life in general.

Grunted in a good 8 point buck tonight out by the power line. He looked to be 3 1/2. His antlers were outside his ears/. Probably about 125 inches. His neck was already swollen up!

Good luck to you guys.... Do you put up a post for the hunt in advance? id like to get in on a hunt or two with some trad gangers if I can put some days aside in advance.

[celticknot]

Dave yes we post it in advance, next year it will be in november. Keep an eye out. We post about 2 months in advance so everyone can get there time off.

[dave19113]

Ok that sounds great......

[bowmofo]

Any pictures of the bragging post?

Charlie,
 I hope you guys get to let the string go on some good ones !!

First evening out i put a stalk on a bedded 135 inch 10pt and got 15 yards from him till the wind hit the back of my neck  :(  He stood for a shot be had a limb in the way and didn't want to put a bad shot on him. I ended up seeing him the next night but 300 yards away. I did pass on a little 6pt chasing a doe, had a blast and met a lot of good guys!

[buckeye_hunter]

We are back, but unfortunately short on groceries AKA deer.

Some of the guys were hunting Western style and stalked some bucks and does. Like Logan said, he got VERY close on a nice 10 pointer.

Tony passed on a button buck the first day.

I just barely missed out on a chance for a nice 8 a few days into the hunt. He snuck in behind me and I saw him too late. Then he walked toward my second shooting lane, but hit the brakes. He abruptly took off straight away and didn't give me a shot. I just needed 3 more steps.    

[GingivitisKahn]

Good stuff, Charlie.  Thanks again for all the work and planning you do to put this thing together year after year.  I'd love to get to spend more time at the camp (well maybe not this year - too rainy! :-p  ) but the last few years' schedules haven't allowed for that.  Rest assured we do appreciate your effort - not to mention your bear stew.

[celticknot]

levi your shirt is at the dog store or morgan has it

[buckeye_hunter]

No problem Jim. So close so many times! It is getting a little frustrating!

[Longbowlogan]

Where are the pics Charlie?  

[Boester19]

Even without bagging any deer trip was a great time! Hope we can get together and hunt before season is up this year because I don't wanna wait till next year to do it again! Lol

[moose eye levi]

Glad to get down and see you guys and it was nice meeting everyone new, Logan and Troy great talkin with you.

[buckeye_hunter]

The pics will go up tonight or tomorrow. I have a few things to get done before loading them on photobucket and posting them here.

The practice shooting was a good time. I got to shoot a few bows I had never shot before. It was a good time overall.

Sitting around the fire until 1:30am isn't conducive to hunting the next morning though!  

[Longbowlogan]

It was nice talking to you too Levi, good luck with your new bow. I agree, staying up till 1am really hurts you if you want to hunt that morning lol I had a great time!
