How Many Have Done This?
« on: September 09, 2007, 09:53:00 AM »
Deer Season is upon us finally and I'm just wondering how many Tradgangers out there have taken a P & Y Buck with Tradtional Tackle from their own hunting land? Land that you own or lease or government land... you know "your" hunting club or public honey hole. The place you hang your own stands, do all your own scouting...your woods. IMO has got to be ultimate bowhunting trophy especially in the southeast.

No Guided Hunts...There is no guide at this place, you are the guide....your own "place " where you hunt deer, probably squirels, rabbits, etc...May be the place where your son first shot his first BB gun......It's your "Deer Camp"...you grow your own food plots or you fill the feeders ( Marty   :rolleyes:   )...It's "your" lease or property....It may be behind your house or 100 miles across state but you call it "My" deer camp...No draws for tags, NO airline tickets or pre-hung stands....It's 100% you.

Under those rules no....

  One was at a place my friend and I both hunt and we put our heads together the morning I killed one the closest to home

  Other two involved a plane ticket, but weren't guided hunts.

  I've been blessed with a lot of good friends that have shared their hunting ground with me......

Here's my best after a four year effort "behind the house". He scored 152 + and dressed at 207#...was a State of NH bow record for 10  years or so. Shot him with a 69# Groves taked down and 2216 arrows during the first week of the 1990 gun season.

Bill, congrats, that is quite an accomplishment.

Joey, is this a survey? Sounds to me that you better not count your chickens too soon. The wolf might find his way into the henhouse.

I saw you count on that gobbler last spring and last I heard, he was still roosted in the Cypress just south of camp.You better back it up after startin a thread like this!!!

ps I hope I eat my words.

Marty...Eldon told me something about you in Kansas last year...I will give you the benefit of the doubt that he stretched the truth a little. He said it  had to do with rushing the shot.  Care to comment?

No rush, pure choke. Buck of a lifetime. I will try again soon though! But, whatever Eldon said, it involved stretching the truth! Heck, I already missed a doe last weekend, just warmin up for Kansas.

One with those specifics. Another that I shot on someone else's land but my scouting and treestand placement. Haven't paid to hunt Whitetails yet. Unless you count taxes.  :)

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Marty...really enjoyed you guys on the bear hunt last Fall at Eldons. Missed seeing you all this year. You guys ever planning on going back or has Eldon's jokes gotten too old?

I'd love to go back to Eldon's sometime, but can't do everything.He is one great guy and an excellent outfitter. At my age, his jokes seem new everytime I hear them! Except for the Honky Tonk shoes joke, That one's goota go!!! Good luck in your upcoming season.
