First-light Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) Nice afternoon in woods. Had a single doe come in around 6:20 behind me. She ran off after a bit. About 20 minutes later a big doe came in with a fawn. They stayed just out of range right in front of me. It got dark and when I got down they spooked and she blew a few times. That was unfortunate. Great to be back in the woods and having that first deer come in!! Edited October 2 by First-light 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I went out yesterday evening, neighbor kids were rippin atvs and dirbikes behind me about 75-100 yards. These deer don’t care where I was hunting , had 3 doe come out right from where they were riding at 6:15 action like nothing was going on.m walking right under me, passed. Also saw three hens which I havnt seen turkeys in a couple years in this spot, excited about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I had 7 turkeys come off the hill and walked across our yard. Quite spectacular since we usually don't have a large population of turkeys here. I have not seen a lot of deer yet. Of course with all the leaves still on, it's not easy to see much of anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the deer won't be hiding in the corn all day ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Hunted today. This morning I got busted getting down from the stand. This afternoon was great saw 9 Doe and 2 Buck. 2 Buck were a 6 and 4 pt. Doe and fawn come in. Fawn is eating acorns doe is wondering away. She gets 100 yards in front of the fawn. Fawn still eating acorns not even looking in her direction. Doe leaves now here come two buck. They walk up to the fawn and follow the path the Doe took. The fawn followed the bucks back to her mother. It was interesting. I also peed off the stand with a deer 30 yards from me. She looked my way heard the sound but was not alarmed. It was a great night until another Doe and fawn came in. Mom wasn't happy and started blowing. Never heard a deer blow so much. I was half way up the hill and she was still at it. Going to give that stand a rest..lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanrobb52 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Need some help from my fellow bow hunters. Thursday night I got a 26 yard broadside shot on my target buck. The shot felt and looked perfect. He took off and I watched him run across an open field with his front leg not working and it appeared to be blood covered already. I calmed down for 10 mins and expected to see him piled up in the field. To my surprise, he was not. So I went to the shot site and could not find a drop of blood whatsoever. About 10 foot from the shot site I recovered my arrow which was broken off approx 2-3” above the fixed blade broadhead with blood up the shaft another 5-6 inches. I backed out, went to the house and got lights and my 4 wheeler and searched for an hour. Never bumped the deer and never found an oz of blood. So i backed out and had 2 very seasoned hunters come help me grid search for 2 hours where we covered a ton of ground. I shoot 70lbs and only use fixed blades. I felt like that should have gone through the shoulder at least enough to hit 1 lung. The shot was apparently a bit forward but I thought for sure it was fatal. what are y’all’s thoughts based on your experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grid searching might have messed that up. But 1 lung pushing him with a dog is the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about 15 yards out but walking fast following a Doe. I let him pass for a quartering away shot. I hit him a bit high and forward. Found the arrow in the same shape yours was in. He was running fine though and continued running after that Doe. Did not find blood and looked for two days. My thoughts you had a good hit but bone got in the way. You broke the shoulder but he still can move pretty good. Buck I shot at gun season had three working legs. They can get around. Hey did you guys look high on the golden rod or just on the ground? I agree with Hockey try the dog route. It's a horrible feeling especially on a target buck. Good luck oh always look for crows later in the day or a few days after. I have found deer this way. Meat is no good but you might find him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
