I know I'm not alone in my quest for the elusive white-tailed deer (or any other critter).
Let's use this as the Official 2013/2014 hunting thread to post some pics and comments. I know some who hunt Ky and have already been successful.
GOOD LUCK to anyone who can get out and be careful out there. Use your safety harnesses.
Saw 9 Saturday night but no shooter bucks.
Good Luck this year.
I only made it out for Saturday morning and only saw 1 doe way out. It was pretty warm so we didn't hunt the rest of the weekend.
Home life is finally starting to slow down so time is getting freer just in time for hunting season and fall fishing:ThumbsUp
On a side note...my kids are in NC on vacation, they were texting me pics & videos of a big bull elk fighting and bugling while I was in my stand. Pretty cool stuff.
Still in fishing mode Max but will report later this month....
I'm looking forward to it.Quote:

Like every year the good ones show up in my back yard. I got a pic of this guy back in July in my back yard. These city deer are safe so they can grow to a ripe old age.
I wonder how big he is now. He had a month more to grow when I got the pic.

Wow!! That is a stud!
It's still to hot! But I got everything set up and ready to go just need some cooler weather...
I agree with that FITB. We're just hunting on Saturday mornings the 1st few weeks. Won't be long till it gets goodQuote:

Guess I will make my mix of shell corn and acorn rage to keep them at my dinner table!
Yeah the heat is a killer.
Our oaks are just now starting to drop out there and it will pick up over the next few weeks. Most are red oaks.
Only saw one flash of a deer but I did see a red fox.
I won't hunt my favorite stand until the end of Oct.
I'll be glad when this vegetation is gone.
Doing a little lurking on the website and haven't been on here for a while. But seen a hunting thread and said why not. Hunting has been relatively slow so far in KY but deer season and duck season is getting ready to get cranked up. This weekend is the youth deer hunt in KY and the little man is going to lay them down.
Good to see the post FA. Let us know how it goes and pics would be nice if you guys are successful. It's does only in Ohio this weekend.
Bucks are ready, it won't be long for the chase to begin...Attachment 140242Attachment 140243
I've been out 1 morning each weekend just looking. Mostly saw a few small skin heads but had a couple of small pushing each other around the weekend of the doe only ML season.
The temps are dropping nicely it should be "game on" real soon.
Went out last night before class seen a couple scrapes and ended up seeing 4 big does no bucks but it won't be long!
With the weather cooling and being that time of year we are starting to get some increased movement. I'm passing up small deer on most trips out but my hunting time has been limited. I had a 9 point at 15 yards last Sat morning but we're getting much larger deer than him on our cameras but the movement is at night. I'll be hunting Sat through Monday this weekend, it should be good.
Had a hot doe go by and luck was on my side Nov 2.... Scored on a typical 12pt with couple of stickers..Attachment 141653
Great deer. We just started seeing increase activity last weekend. It's all about the does right now.
Really nice Buck!! Congrats!
Attachment 142714Finally got one!
Nice buck!!
Nice buck FITB.
All I'm getting in close is some little guys. I had a really cool 8 point last week with a drop time under me last Monday morning. He was 3 or 4 yards away and didn't have a clue I was there. He was a young deer and I though if he makes it through this year, he be a beast next year. I've seen 3 shooters this year but 50 yards was about the closest I had any of them too me.
Maybe next weekend.
This weekend is the 2 day Youth gun season in Ohio and it looks like Sat night it will drop to 19 degrees with a high of 32 Sunday, this will keep them moving I am sure. I took My 16 yr old Grandson last year, He shot a large doe the second day but missed the kill zone, We are hoping for better results this weekend. By the way great deer pix guys, Ive bow hunted now for 3 yrs without a kill, I commend You guys on your archery skills.
The 1st one is the hardest one to get while bow hunting after you get that one out of the way, they get easier.Quote:

Good post c-max. Looks cold and windy. Dress warm.
I'm probably going to regret letting that 9 point walk a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

Thats what its all about.. Congrats to the grandson on his first buck and congrats tom for getting him started!!! Those memories will last forever...
Well after 30yrs of snow plowing I quit last year, tonight I get to do something Ive always wanted to do, Deer hunt in the snow.
Ive been using corn and acorn rage this Fall, but had to mix some rock salt in for this weekend
Also I am glad a finally bought a blind last year, I not quiet hardy enough to sit in my tree stand tonight, lol hopefully I can out due my grandson!
This is the 1st time in probably 25 years I missed a deer with my (cross)bow. I missed a doe last Sat morning. I had 2 or 3 buck chasing some does all around my stand area. The bucks weren't too big so I tried for the doe. That was the 1st adult doe I've seen all year. I was off today and just couldn't muster the energy to go sit in the rain but I'll be there in the morning with my muzzleloader. The one field I usually hunt still had standing corn in it last weekend so I'm hope he just leaves in in for another couple of weeks. Late season will ne good.
I saw some butt head set up a blind about 40 or 50 yards from one of our tree stand which happens to be a favorite for late season. I think he has a new way of scouting. Last turkey season he was set up about 35 years from our ground blind. No class
It took awhile....

Got this buck at 8:45 this morning.
Congrads on that nice buck Max, it was a great day to deer hunt or fish, although I got skunked fishing its good to see someone was sugcessfull
Congrats!! Look at those tarsal glands.
I think this was the 1st weekend since mid-November I didn't see bucks chasing does. The hunt ended pretty early in the day so I guess they could still be at it.Quote:

Nice buck
Thanks guys.
Funny you said that Tom, I shot that deer early so after I dropped it off at the processors I came home and hooked up the boat and headed to EF.
Nice buck Max...
