Hunting slow?

[CRS1015]

I've been hunting up around Winnsboro and the deer just don't seem to be moving. Was wondering if anyone else was seeing the same or better

[Suzie Q]

I have not even been yet this season. Just been to durn hot for me

I've seen plenty of deer moving around, but they happen to be where I can't shoot them, so I'll wait and go where I can shoot them, and hope there will be a lot of good'uns to pick from... [img]graemlins/deer.gif[/img]

I've been once. Went Sat. afternoon and nothing, I mean not a single creature of the wild of any kind moved until 7pm. Then a squirell...then deer. I had three or four coming to me when I realized that it was a nice bachelor group. Passed on the first 5 or six point due to the nice eight point behind him. Drew on the 8 pt and noticed that there was a bigger deer coming behind him. He had a darker rack and I dont know how big it was. I concentrated on the body so I wouldn't freak. It decided to stay on a farther from my tree course. I had one thread-the-needle shot and let one fly when he hit the hole. I shot my 22 to point blank pin and he was at 30-33. He did a little jitterbug and the other deer ran around and ended up coming into an open area behind me. I ended up getting a crack at the eight I'd passed on earlier and stuck him. He ran off about twenty feet, turned around to see what had disturbed him, swayed a bit then DOWN! I was up in Great Falls, and everybody has said the action has been slow, but for my 2.5 hours in the stand, the action was really hot. I wish I'd stuck the big un, but that was the best buck yet for me with a bow, so I'm not too disapointed. Meats in the freezer; time to concentrate on wall-hangers and nannys! It's supposed to be really nice starting Friday for a couple of days. Hope y'all start seeing some deer and flinging some arrows.

Good job WWD.
It seems like 7:00 is the time here also in the evenings.

I have killed 2 does with the bow and lost one small 8 point with the bow. The deer are not moving consistantly.

[Duckman#1]

Their moving good here. We killed 13 deer on the property over the last four days. 4 nice bucks.

[Sportin' Woodies]

if bugbuster hasnt killed at least 75 deer, things are slow.

It's definitely not slow around here. I've sat in a stand four times... I've put two in the freezer and stuck an indian bullet through a tree between me and a third. It's amazing how you sometimes don't see a 2 - 3" diameter tree until after it stops an arrow.

I guess that explains how you came up with your handle, Treekilla.

I guess I can't say much; I had a sapling cost me a pretty nice buck a few years ago in a similar situation.

Maybe Hunting is slow b/c you not in the right place I have seen plenty of deer

Saw 5 last nite. Drew back on a nice doe only to see another deer slipping through the woods about 100 yards out. Figured it may be a buck. Let off on the doe, other deer never shows. Doe trots off in meantime. No shot fired. Still had a great time!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to my bud for the fantastic hunt!!!!!!!!!!!!
