The Bowhunters Beat the Gun Hunters!

16-Point Bow Kill Wins Digital Game Camera!

 

Talk about having it tough!

 

Our bowhunters fought warm temperatures, high winds, and a full moon the first week and late/slow rutting activity the second week though the moon came into a better position and the temperatures came down the second week.

 

The first group lost at least one good one on a very early A.M. shot - the second group tagged three bucks - saw lots of chasing, turkeys, a few Coyotes and lots of deer.

 

The rifle hunters, of which there were only two this year, never made it off the 190 Ac farm, shot and lost a large (unknown score) 10-pointer.

 

All things being equal, we had a 30% tag fill rate, and 80% either took a shot or had a trophy animal in kill range but did not finish the deal our first year in 2005.

 

The following are the highlights!

 
Brian's 16-Pointer takes it!- Congrats (Farm 4) Brian of course, it the winner 2005 Big Buck Contest!
   
I think Jeff planned to shoot him back in September! (Farm 1) Here he is on the hoof, end of September - still in velvet!
   
Very Pretty Deer!  Congrats Mike!!
(Farm 4)  

 

The Rifle hunters had better weather, and the rut was in full swing - lots of wandering and patrolling bucks - however snow and 18-Degree weather moved in with lows below zero at night ended the hunts a bit early for them.  What we say to that is "there is no bad weather - only bad gear!"
