Been running my cameras through the winter and found a decent herd of deer a few miles back in a deep swamp on a half acre island. Curious to know what kind of head gear the big boy has. Also has any one heard any gobbling ?
My old man killed this buck on opening day in Hertford county with his 300 Weatherby Magnum.
My old man killed this buck on opening day in Hertford County, It was on the edge of a bean field with four does. Also want to report heavy scraping in North Eastern, NC. Good Luck
On 9/11 I enjoyed a great day of offshore fishing out of Pirates Cove Marina in Manteo aboard the Fistful. We caught and released three White Marlin and kept three Dolphin. Lost a Blue Marlin, a White Marlin, and a Wahoo. Marlin fishing is the best it has been in a long time. I believe a boat out of Virginia Beach named the Waverunner III had 49 White Marlin releases on this same day !!
Went dove hunting on opening day in Camden County at the foot of the Dismal Swamp with my a few of my boys, had a great hunt, I think we killed 26 in the morning. For the afternoon hunt me and my dad went to Tommy Harrell's in Perquimans County and had a ball!! I think my dad enjoyed it more then I did!! Gotta brush up on my wing shooting, I missed more then I would like to admit. Anyways pumped up for Bow season, Good Luck to all who's going Saturday.
Been running my cameras since mid July and all I have been seeing are bears, does with fawns, a million coons, and a bunch of grey foxes. Have seen one seven point not worth pursuing. Finally hope a perfect ten point that looks about 18 inches wide with a sticker point at his base on one side. Pray the coons don't eat all the corn and he sticks around for bow season and comes out during shooting hours. I know that's asking a lot, but wishful thinking anyway!!
Went turkey hunting this am. Hen decoy kept blowing over so I finally went and put it on a sapling. As I look up I see 3 long beards in the path. I army crawl to my shotgun and they finally commit to my strutter decoy and shoot the lead Tom on my back. I only called once all morning. Shot at 8:30 am in Hertford county.
Thanks for all the congrats. GT I switched from traditional archery so this bowtech is the only compound I have ever shot and yes I agree its a sweet bow. Yager I wasnt real happy with blood trail but I may look into them Swackers. When I quartered him I found that I hit his left femoral artery so im thankful for that.
Shot this buck last night on 10-11-12. Came into my cornpile at 5:30. Had to make shot while he was facing away from me tried to aim between front shoulders but hit a rear ham and went through his stomach. Backed out for two hours, trailed him for 150 yard recovery. Using a Bowtech ASSASSIN with Delta SS fixed broadheads. Looks like I will also be switching to Rage.
One of the bucks I have on camera at new hunt club I joined in Hertford County.
Recent Bear Hunt in Ontario,Canada. Seen a few nice bears but had trouble judging size, ended up taking this 3 year old boar on last night.
4 year old bird killed on gameslands in Camden County. 11' beard, 1 1/8 spurs and weighed right at 20 pounds.
Does anyone know of hunting land or leases in bertie ,hertford, or gates county ?
Rockfishing with Fistfulsportfishing on 01-06-2011. 37lb. citation 43.25 inches. Fishing out of Pirates Cove, Fish was caught near Oregon Inlet.
I would be willing to bet its a Coyote. As Red Wolves were introduced to Poquoson Lakes National Wildlife refuge. These animals traditionally inhabit Dare, Washington, Hyde, and Washington counties.
I have seen a few tom bachelor groups together in Currituck, Gates, and Hertford counties. With some strutting birds in Camden county. As for the Coyotes I would love to kill one with my bow but haven't decided how I want to go about it, Any suggestions ?
Awesome deer, how long did your brother hunt for ? I'm heading to Northeastern Missouri later this month and I hope to run into something half that nice.
Might have to change your screen name to Sniper!! I have a farm that is doe heavy too, guess I need to get to work. Good Luck on collecting you some bone.
Great Buck!! Cant wait to kill an animal that weighs more then me.
That is a stud !! I'm sure you have made many of grown men envious.
Pretty work Soundneck those are some nice geese!!
I can vouch for a good hunt with no kills. Went hunting last Thursday because I read on the so lunar tables that it was the best day to hunt for the month. Well it was spot on, I seen 22 deer in a bean field including a bachelor group of four bucks. Every deer was out of my effective range so I just watched with my binoculars.
Congrats Viper !! Your a modern day robin hood !! You have been giving the does hell this year. Have you seen any bone this year ? All my bucks are only showing up at night. Anyways best of luck to you on the rest of your season.
Awesome buck !! And to kill him on the ground is impressive!! What country are you hunting in if you don't mind me asking ?
Congrats on a great deer !! I really like the split brow tines.
Congrats on the Doe kills and nice shooting. I haven't noticed a different in standing, sitting, or kneeling while shooting my bow. Any bucks on cam coming to your feeder ?
Me and my old man hunted the evening I seen one nice bear and two grey fox and he seen a Sow bear with a cub. Good day in the woods but no deer.
I had similar problems from raccoons and foxes eating my corn as well as crows. I don't wanna trap them just yet in fear of scaring away one good buck and two decent bears coming into my setup.
Caswell, I have shot Delta SS Fixed one piece broad heads in the past, they are similar to a Muzzy. After the pass season where I hit a deer marginally and another one high, I went out and bought some Rages. I have heard nothing but good things about Rage and Swhacker broad heads and people rave about the blood trails both produce.
GT , What do you think he will stretch ? He only came in one night from about 9 to 9:18 I got around 60 pictures of him.
Hey man , I am a vet myself. I am a member to a small club in Ahoskie, NC. Where are you located ?
GT the turkey skulls look sweet. What is the trick with the euro mount on a turkey , do they ever get cracked or chipped from the shot ? Any tips or pointers for a first timer ?
Congrats on tagging out. I see your not to far from me, I hunt all over from Currituck to Hertford county. Where about do you hunt, also what were the specs. on your Toms ?
I have a large boar coming to my bait and acting similar to your bear. Do you plan on hunting him and do you have any ideas on how your going get on him during shooting hours ? Good Luck !!
