Good luck everyone.

Gonna get as far up to the snow line as we can find. Weather is moving in over the next couple days, should be interesting. This is my first go around with the Swakane late archery.

Snowing at 3000ft and up this morning then we pretty much had fog to deal with all day so we didn't see much which sucks cause I was hoping to find a good concentration of deer and have a spot set for Monday. Just gonna have to wing it.

Post by: Whobuff on November 25, 2016, 06:48:55 PM: Anybody having luck rattling the bucks in? I didn't get any responses today. I am sure they are still In the rut. But I am new to hunting the rut, so please advice. Thanks.
Title: Re: Late archery deer
Post by: Whobuff on November 26, 2016, 09:31:02 PM: I couldn't call any in today again. I am not sure if it was my set up, my rattling skills or if the rut has calmed down. Well I needed to wrap up hunting this year so I could spend more time with my 5mo and 5yr old. I filled my tag with a beauty doe at 20 yards at the end of the day. My first bow big game kill! It's a good feeling to have meat this year and a new accomplishment. Good luck to all you other bow hunters!

Post by: Chad Osterholtz on November 28, 2016, 10:56:41 AM: We spent the weekend pounding the snow, ended up tagging 2 does as well. We saw 2 REALLY nice bucks but just couldn't close the distance. We saw over 40 does and only the 2 bucks, not sure if we missed the rut or it just hasn't kicked off yet. We were over there 2 weeks ago and it seemed close, several scrapes and rubs, but the snow this weekend changed everything.

Yeah, so whats the story on the rut, have heard some say they got into it and others including myself that didn't see any part of it. Oh well, always next year. :)

Great job Chad, hoping to start my kids off that early too. Wish I had started bow hunting as a kid!
