2008 Season, tagged out....
« on: October 09, 2008, 03:04:39 PM »
Well the season is now over, guess I can focus on some fishing and duck hunting.  Sucks really.  I love hunting big game...

Here's my Archery opener 5x5


Then my Muzzleloader 4x4 with eye guards...






Plus a couple of the other guys in camp had some success too.  A nice 3x3 then a big 3x3 with eyeguards that was shot opening day and found 3 days later.  Long story short we looked for 6 hours the day it was shot and couldn't find the deer, 3 days later the ravens took us to him..  Sickening really....  We managed to go 5 for 8 with another 2x2 and 2x3 in camp...

Nice deer, but only 6 hrs looking?  Maybe there's a reason for not looking the following day?  Or did you guys?  Not trying to be judgemental, sorry.

In all due respect, I didn't want to write a book about the entire hunt.  Yes, we were in there the following morning looking for him for an additional 1/2 day.  I knew he was dead in the area as there were 2 ravens working the area but wouldn't give us any specific direction.  I shot my buck the 3rd day looking for his day about 1/3 of a mile from where we found his.....  When we found his it was a complete 180 from the direction he had last seen it running and .23 miles from the original spot he took the shot on the GPS.

Congrats on the success.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I'm just bummed...  I really want to be in the woods hunting but could care less about a black bear....  I guess it's ducks from here out or going out with the buddies..
