BDAHMS hunting log

H
Got a pretty cool pic opening morning from the box blind as well- and yesterday AM I used my buck tag on a mercy kill- a decent buck came in running into the fence- running into trees- falling over- etc. So I shot him- he was full of infection with an arrow in his shoulder and also appeared to have wounds to his eye I will leave the pic off as its just his head tagged-

Your shotgun tag, your muzzie tag? Hmm......
Joys of party hunting in iowa I guess, just have to get some one else to tag your deer for you :grin::grin::grin:

I figured that's why you asked earlier- not sure why it surprises me. It wasnt my shotgun tag- it was my fathers. I guess I'll watch the wording next time?? "I used "A" buck tag on a mercy kill.... I didn't purchase an any sex tag for gun 1 just so I could hunt late season muzzy. Our shotgun group hasn't used up our any sex tags ever- not once- since I have been hunting. So I purchase a doe tag for every county we hunt in. Our group knows how many buck tags the group has- it's not really an individual deal. First buck during shotgun 1 I have shot in years - not the point- but anyways-------- I purchased a late season and bow statewide tag. Easy as that.

i don't believe you until I see a picture of your tag! Lol! Just kidding. I love Internet CO's. Congrats on the buck!

Haha thanks- funny thing Is I share almost any hunting experience with a friend that is a DNR agent. I can assure anyone who wants to internet police I am beyond sure- sometimes over sure of regulations and what not. Ah well- part of having a hunting log :). In the words of Taylor- Haters gonna hate
 
Most of us enjoy your post BDAHMS. This is prolly why we saw very few Shotgun post this year. Keep up the good work.

Much appreciated! I'll be out in the AM tomorrow - letting a good buddy sit in my blind to go after a beast. I'll be in a bedding area stand with my bow in hand. Not looking forward to 7 deg at Sunrise- but that's what I have a heater body suit for and sure hope my buddy connects. Good luck all!
 
Good luck, I hope to get off work early n spend the weekend after deer. Got all 3 of my buck tags to fill yet. Only gotten out limited amount. I'm carrying bow n muzzy with me the times ive gotten out. Seen bucks just not mature, was going to do a mercy shot mon night but wasn't confident at 220 yards with the snow n crosswind. 10.5 days left, get to hunt 6 prob. Hope the cold gets them where I am.
 
I drove by a foodplot just before sunset yesterday coming back from a coyote hunt. I don't know what the guy planted but it had big green leaves. Looked like a spinach field from the road. Anyway it was LOADED with deer. Cornfield to the east had one doe. Bean field to the west had nothing. They were pounding the green stuff. Good luck guys. I've seen a lot of deer on their feet feeding well before dark the last two evenings.

This is right on with my experience. I went yesterday evening. Sat on a pinch leading to a corn and bean field. Not a single deer on either.
 
Well I'm sitting on brassicas n cut corn and they prefer the corn. Seen 30 pheasants, 10 turkeys, 40 deer. No mature bucks. After legal hours had decent buck and doe come in, both carrying a front leg. 5 min earlier and would have tried to get 1 for sure.
Think I may try mornings? Anyone trying?

Age?? Had a good buck show up last week. Curious on age but it won't post
 
Headed down south to afton area for an AM sit in the ol heater body suit. Gonna bird hunt mid day as well and sit this evening at one of my best stands. Let the Hoyt get some action today if at all possible!
 
Had a great day- we ended up shooting 2 roosters and 7 quail. Saw a TON of birds- it looked like South Dakota out there- just flushing too early.

Went and pulled a camera that I haven't checked since September- I never went back to check it because I didn't plan on hunting there. Mistake! Have multiple shooters on camera there and not that I need more spots or hit list bucks but will definitely be getting a few stands in this ravine! Will post photos once I'm able too again
 
trying this google chrome out since I havent been able to really post in a while- i will just post pictures now and will add stories later after my meetings at work

will be Pic heavy- been a while:)
