ozark trout fisher Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 My opening weekend... In short, it was a great time, in beautiful Ozark country, with not a single deer seen over the course of two days. One kind of frustrating moment occured when I was hunting the edge of a food plot. This is public land, but it's a walk-in only area. But sure as you're born, thirty minutes in, some jackass drives right across the field with his pick-up, parks, and gets ready hunt. Should have got his license plate but didn't remember.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Stupid City Neighbor came over and told me to quit shooting that I was scaring all the Deer out of the area.She said she would have told him to Stick It! oneshot Stupid City Neighbor, I have to deal with them all of the time. Sounds like you have an ignition problem or a bad batch of ammo. Are you shooting Black Powder or Centerfire?

Yea I have to deal with him couple weeks a year.He blames me for everything leading to the lack of Deer from just Living here to him thinking I kill them all. Black Powder I changed Caps and have had problems since.But if I use the same Rifle I have some ideas to take care of this problem. oneshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hendernt Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 my wife got her 1st ever deer this year on opening day nice 8 point w/ tiny brow tines. She shot it with a 20 gauge slug at about 25 yds. It wasa great hunt and basically textbook. I saw the deer 6 yds away walking down a drainage and grunted at it. It turned and came right to us stopping along the way to make a scrape ad rub 2 trees then stopped broadside @ 25yds right in the shooting lane.

Randall Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Shot a big doe second weekend of rifle season with black powder then got a chance to go back out Christmas Eve in the snow. Didn't bother with the morning hunt so I walked over to the stand around 12:30 or 1, hadn't been in the tree 30 mins when a nice 8 walked by at about 20 yards. All I can think is that my climber sounded like a fight or rubbing. Good thing there was snow on the ground or I never would have found him, went 50 yards before I found a drop of blood, maybe another 50 after that where I found him... no exit wound. I was still sweating like mad from the walk/climb to my stand then I had to drag him out. He also had a thick orange goo at the base of his antlers - maybe tree sap from rubbing on cedars? Cute animals taste better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
