Team #17...."Drop The Hammer!".... Official Team Thread

Great deer and story Ryan...Thanks for sharing!

Looks like we are down a guy as @Q2shooter hasn't been on the site since October 1st.

Hopefully he is healthy and will show up with his deer soon!

If Covid doesn't screw things up, I will be having my other knee replaced 12/15 and will obviously be done for the year.

Looks like the big guy was killed about a 1/2 mile southwest of me yesterday. He was the only buck I really wanted to shoot. Hopefully another buck will show up. The buck I killed here in 2017 didn't show up on any cameras until the day before I shot him.

Would still like to put one more in the freezer, so I will shoot another doe if the opportunity presents itself.

Good Luck!

Nice shooting Trevor! Congratulations!

 

Great job Trevor - Another awesome buck.

Looks like a similar symmetrical rack as your first buck (2 extra points, but maybe 1 yr younger deer?).

Possibly the offspring of your first buck and a doe with even better genes. Hope for you that they both did a lot of breeding the last few years.

Team 17 is making a late surge - Maybe some late season hunting will make us a contender..

 

Thanks, got the last one In Saginaw county. Think he is 3.5, but only dressed out 140. He was hit on his brisket and had some infection, probably during bow season, so I am glad to take him. Will be trying for a doe with the bow later on.

 

We'll hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, been out a few time only seeing some does, think I'll take the next one that presents me a shot as the ice fishing season will be upon before you know it! I'm off through the 2nd so going try and get out as much as I can, hopefully put some points on the board for us in the next few days!

Congrats on the deer taken recently guys! I forgot to check in here but I did take a nice big doe on the 22nd. with my 30-30 Hoyt! I intend to bowhunt late season as hard as I did the early season.

 

Copied from LFTS thread the morning I shot her:

Couple firsts for me this morning.
1.-shot a doe (shot a doe w/Muzzy once)
2.-used a gun

Got this 30-30 for Christmas in ‘84 and shot my one and only buck with it opening morning in ‘85. I hunted with gun until I was bit by the archery bug my senior year of ‘90. All bucks since then with bow. Fast forward to 2020 and I haven’t shot a deer yet so I thought why not make this year crazier than it already is and try to kill a doe with my gun! I saw 16 deer this morning with one buck chasing at about 7:30. Was quiet for a bit once they all headed into the bedding. At about 9:10 6 doe come out of the orchard, all looking behind them, so now do I wait and see what’s following g or shoot? I decide to wait a bit because the trail they were on was going to actually present me with a better shot so I waited as long as I could but then I had to quickly make a decision as they were going to enter the tall grass and cattails soon. The biggest doe gave me a perfect broadside shot and I took the shot. I knew I hit her good from the mile kick she did and I was able to watch her go down right next to the tractor road! What a beautiful morning it was and I’m grateful to be filling my freezer again. Who knew shooting doe could be so fun! Now it’s time to get the Hoyt back out.

 

Hey guys I took a doe tonight, went and hunted a box blind behind my house on one of my little kill plots, was heading around 3:30 when I noticed I'd left my scope on my crossbow on and the battery was dead almost said screw it but decided to jump in the car a go grab some batteries ended up getting out around 3:50 and had 4 does come in around 5:00. I put a nice shot on her, only went about 25-30yrds before she expired ! I post a pic later with my Crossbow

As of yesterday only a few of our deer showed up on the current standings, but I am sure QDMAMAN is busy working on the tally.

I am hoping to fill a tag or two in late season with archery gear so I was waiting to submit my rifle deer.
