Gone For A Few Days
« on: October 20, 2011, 03:39:29 PM »
My son and I are going on a 4 day camping trip starting first thing tomorrow morning. Three of those days will be spent muzzleloader hunting for Whitetails. We're both still nursing our wounds from the ATV accident but both of us are doing much better than expected. We'll just use tactics that will work in our favor. We'll have over 5,000 acres to roam and are pretty excited to be going. See you all when I get back. Might even have a story or two to tell. :)

Keep the rubber side down.  Better yet, it may be better to just walk. ;D   Enjoy as I know you will.  I'm envious.   :)

I'm back. Had a great time, just had to baby my ankle so I did a lot of sitting. That was fine as the many other hunters kept the deer moving. Had a real blast though I had a pretty nice buck stolen from me. I went to get help from the Rangers to get him out and he was gone when we went back for him. Along with my tag unfortunately. The guys that stole him were not even suppose to have been hunting in there as it was closed to any but those drawn for the hunt. They were seen loading my buck and high tailing it out of the area. The bucks were realy responding to grunt calls and doe bleats. The one I shot came charging in twice and then walked right up to a scent wick saturated with Tinks 69 Doe in Estrus. Here's a pic of me inspecting a very nice buck rub. Found lots of scrapes too. I think the Rut is coming in way early this year, along with the cold weather.
 
We also have more Elk than those stocked here recently. They are coming in from Arkansas from those stocked there a few years ago. Heard one bugle and a few were seen. First thing the Rangers told everyone when we checked in was to not in any way bother the Elk. :)

Thanks, it was the nicest buck I'd ever shot. A beautiful solid main frame 10pt with lots of kickers. I wish I could have at least gotten a pic of him. I wasn't the only one that had a buck stolen. One of the guys camping next to us did too. You can bet we'll be keeping an eye out for those two guys as we have a good discription of their truck and they are locals. Wish someone could have gotten a plate number.

I've never been able to understand what anyone would want with someone elses deer.  I'm glad you had a good time.
