How did your day go?

[doghunter101]

Well fellas, today was an AWSOME HUNT!!!! First day of dogseason and it was just about perfect!!!!!!!! Well first off I was up a full hour before my Dad was and I was so pumped I couldnt stand it!!!! When dad finally got up we loaded the guns into the truck and everything else we needed and headed to the truckstop to meet up with the boys in the hunting club.... ;D ;D Ended up decided to go back into the club and see what blocks are already being hunted and get somewhere aint nobody turned out yet and the boys had spotted a buck in the spotlight last night about 14" wide heading into the Maggy Brite Block.... We road around and the 500acreblock was out of the question cus the fellas where logging in there today of all days, .... We stood around and listened for dogs running and after hearing none to many we decided to go to the skinner farm side. This side of the club is FULL of deer and it has plenty of wide open fields to shoot in.... There where already a few boys turned loose in there but we found us a little hole to turn out and dropped the tailgate and letem rip for the first time this season and WOW what a feeling!!!! Me, dad, and a few of the the other boys posted up in the center field that we have called the Skinner Farm Field for years now and it is about 600yards across easily.... Well we was sitting there and there was dogs running all around us hard as they could barking every breath!!!!!!!! Wont long and there was a deer skirting the back of the field before heading back into the woods again where the dogs continued the chase!!!! We was just sitting around in the middle of the day listening for dogs and there where 3 slickheaded nannys just wandered out into the field at about 300yards we watched them for a while and decided to wait for a buck. Wont long we spotted a buck coming down the edge of the beans about 400yards and closing........ Before he got to us the buck turned and went in the woods at a corner of a little block so we got a few more dogs we had caught up from running the roads and walkedem in there where the buck had entered but I think he slipped out onem cus they only opened up a few times and came back out........ Well we was just about to get tired of sitting there and bored because the dogs had all but tuckered out (75degrees today and windy so hard to hear the dogs), when I spotted a deer coming across the field, she wont coming no closer so I throwed my Rem 30-06 to my shoulder and BAM!!!! I dont think she ever slacked up but it was fun to try anyways and there wont no dogs on her so no harm done.... Wont long after the deer started crossing the roads to get away from the dogs cus they couldnt stand it no longer and a 8year old boy killed a big ol slickhead doe with two shots and nailed his first deer!!!! You couldnt of made him happier with a million dollars!!!! After we caught all the dogs up me and dad went and still hunted the rest of the afternoon and saw a small 6-pointer (might have been a big cowhorn not sure it was a long shot) and two big does.... One of the does was 40yards from my dad and he couldve easily got her with his Browning 270 but it wasnt a safe shot so no go.... My dad did kill two foxes with his Browning 270 while still hunting this afternoon and it was a cool hunt.... I am ready for next week all ready and as far as I know we came home with ALL the dogs!!!! Anyways couldnt wait to share this with you fellas so yall takemeasy and have a good season....-tim

[doghunter101]

Also thought I would add that the club rules on does this season is if you are under 18 on the cherry glades side (not the side we hunted today) you can shoot does but if you are over or at 18 bucks only and I like that rule perty good, kinda mixes things up a little bit but on the side we hunted today shoot what you want.... Intending to hunt a buck only place next week and it is loaded with deer to........

glad to hear you are havin a good start to your season. we have so many does here we casnt have a buck only rule. we actually need to have a doe only day i think. we have the dmap program here and they manage your land as far as deer tags and tell you how many does to kill and what not. we dont have ity on our lease but the guys next to us do. and when you have their program you are allowed to kill 9 does on dmap land and they dont count towards your 6 deer you get per season. and they dont have to be taken on a doe day. when on dmap land. that should tell you how many does we have. so if we kill 9 dmap does and then our 6 state allowed deer then we can kill 15 deer per season.

Boys I am so glad hunting season is here and now I cant WAIT till next Saturday!!!!!!!! I am getting ready to get me a couple more hounds to get my pack restarted, I figure if I turn them out with the older dogs this year they may catch on soon but I dont know still might wait I while till I can afford to feed some more dogs.... I am so ready for next Saturday fellas aint doggin fun??!! ;D ;D Next Saturday we are hunting the far side of the club and it nuthin but little small blocks with lots of deer inem, the boys that hunted there yesterday missed two HUGE BUCKS!!!! There are alot of does over there and it is bucks only on that side so even if we dont kill a deer we will hear some running I feel sure.... You fellas takemeasy and have a good hunting season....-tim
PS:also on the two clubs bordering our club land one of the clubs killed 8 bucks in the whole club yesterday and the other club didnt even see a buck just does the whole day but everybody had fun and enjoyed it and the dogs did their job and thats what matters....
