jamiehunts · #4 10-18-2009, 06:42 PM

I agree...you do need to slow down

davidf · #6 10-18-2009, 07:39 PM

its to early to slow down jamiehunts i just need to add a few points to yours and we can lock this thing down.

11P&YBOWHUNTER · #7 10-18-2009, 08:29 PM

I woulda had one that was hard to beat in one shot but some thief stole the deer 100 yards from where I shot it in less than an hour!!! The thing was enormous. Still no word on who might of took it but it has only been 24 hours.

SakoL61R · #8 10-18-2009, 10:24 PM

11P&YBOWHUNTER,
Hope ya catch the thief! Read about it in your other post and can't believe someone would do that!

As for me, the same spike came out at 25 yds yesterday morning and this morning. Saw some does and yearlings as well, but they were just past my comfortable shooting range.
Next weekend!

Congrats jamiehunts!

**HandgunHTR** · #9 10-19-2009, 07:24 AM

The wind had me pinned down in the afternoons and the wife had me pinned down in the mornings.

I will be in my honey hole next weekend so it won't be long before Operation Bad Medicine is on the board!

bowhntr · #10 10-19-2009, 07:17 PM

I wouldnt start coasting yet you know that does count for more . I shot twice and killed once but a branch on my ground blind was not seen in the scope and made me miss doe #2 . And the rut has not kicked in yet so there are a lot of deer that can be taken . I drew blood with my muzzleloader opening weekend , took 2 does but it was not with a pistol so they dont count

11P&YBOWHUNTER · #11 10-24-2009, 03:36 PM

Nice buck caught me off guard today...if he is there tomorrow, he will die and i will be on the way to rackign up points for me and Will...Speaking of Will, get off the couch and kill kill kill!!!!

Forkhorn · #12 10-29-2009, 11:33 PM

Tooo quiet in here!!! Another weekend is upon us, Who's gonna put some points up this week? I'll be in it from dark til dark on Sunday.

**HandgunHTR** · #13 10-30-2009, 08:46 AM

I am going out this afternoon.

Storms coming in, they should be moving.

Operation Bad Medicine is on the prowl!!!!

SakoL61R · #14 10-30-2009, 08:20 PM

Good luck, Don! Family time for me this weekend, but will be out in the woods late next week for a couple days.

ATLRoach · #15 10-31-2009, 02:03 PM

I'm going in the morning, tired of getting wet so I didn't go today. My dad say a hoss this morning at day break heading to one of my stands.

Will-dawg · #16 10-31-2009, 09:30 PM

somethings got to give. I'm almost to the point of "if its brown......". I do know that once I get started it's gonna be on.

**HandgunHTR** · #17 10-31-2009, 10:20 PM

This rain has got to stop!

Between the rain and my pain, it has been a long season already.

11P&YBOWHUNTER · #18 10-31-2009, 10:32 PM

I have been hunting bow only areas because i can not find any gun areas that are free now. I have a lease, but it is about 4 hours away...

davidf · #19 11-01-2009, 03:08 PM

Sweet Kyle!

Deer killin' machine right there!

davidf · #26 11-03-2009, 06:56 PM

i like it good luck can't wait for pics

ATLRoach · #27 11-04-2009, 02:52 PM

Thanks guys. Can't wait to try it out on some Ohio Deer!

bowhntr · #28 11-04-2009, 04:23 PM

I knew you would like the looks of that round once you got it . Have you had a chance to fire it yet? You could take it to Nicks Guns and shoot it on the rifle range to get a feel for it. Mine looks a lot like yours but has a 14" barrel and a new Pachy forend .

Sorry to say this but I dropped the ball last week and missed a doe at 50yds with my 7-30 Waters so its back to the .357 Max the killin machine.

308-MIKE · #29 11-04-2009, 04:33 PM

atlroach, you'd better check the ohio regs before taking your handgun to ohio to hunt. the following i found on the ohio dnr-wildlife website:
Allowable Hunting Equipment

Archery Season Longbow: minimum draw weight 40 lbs.

Crossbow: stock of at least 25 inches, and having a working safety: draw weight not less than 75 lbs. The arrow tip shall have a minimum of two cutting edges which may be exposed or unexposed minimum 3/4 inch width. Expandable and mechanical broadheads are legal. Poisoned or explosive arrows are illegal.

Gun Season and Youth Deer Gun Season: 10 gauge or smaller shotgun using one ball or one rifled slug per barrel (rifled shotgun barrels are permitted when using shotgun slug ammunition); or muzzleloading rifle .38 caliber or larger; or handgun with 5-in. minimum length barrel, using straight-walled cartridges .357 caliber or larger, or longbow, crossbow (draw weight limitations same as for Archery Season). Shotguns cannot be capable of holding more than three shells.

Statewide Muzzleloader Season: Longbow, crossbow (draw weight limitations same as for archery season), muzzleloading rifle .38 caliber or larger, or muzzleloading shotgun of 10 gauge or smaller using one ball per barrel.

Hunters cannot carry more than one firearm while hunting deer. See Concealed Carry information.

See legal definitions of hunting equipment.

Back to Top

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Deer Hunter CANNOT do any of the following:

1.Hunt or take a deer with a shotgun capable of holding more than three shells. This means you may not hunt with a shotgun capable of holding more than three shells, unless it is plugged with a one-piece filler which limits the capacity of the gun to three shells. The filler must be such that it cannot be removed without disassembling the gun.

2.Hunt with any rifle other than a muzzleloading rifle .38 caliber or larger during the deer gun, the youth deer gun, the Early Muzzleloader hunts (Salt Fork Wildlife Area, Wildcat Hollow, and Shawnee State Forest), and the statewide muzzleloader seasons.

3.Hunt or take a deer with a gun or possess a loaded firearm while going to and from deer hunting during the deer gun, youth deer gun, and the statewide muzzleloader seasons, at anytime other than 1/2 hour before sunrise to sunset. NOTE: Muzzleloading firearms are considered unloaded when the cap is removed or priming powder is removed from the pan or when the battery is removed from electronic systems. See Concealed Carry information.

4.Carry a handgun while hunting deer during the early muzzleloader season (on designated areas), the statewide muzzleloader season, and archery season; have more than one firearm while hunting deer; carry a handgun being used during hunting in a concealed manner. See Concealed Carry information.

My partner, Sako L61R, put one to sleep today!!

The "Coalition" is on the board!

Will post pics and details when he gets back from trying to put up some more points.

Way to go Charles!

ATLRoach · #31 11-06-2009, 05:03 AM

308-MIKE - Here is legal hunting equipment during gun season.
"Gun Season and Youth Deer Gun Season: 10 gauge or smaller shotgun using one ball or one rifled slug per barrel (rifled shotgun barrels are permitted when using shotgun slug ammunition); or muzzleloading rifle .38 caliber or larger; or handgun with 5-in. minimum length barrel, using straight-walled cartridges .357 caliber or larger, or longbow, crossbow (draw weight limitations same as for Archery Season). Shotguns cannot be capable of holding more than three shells. "

Kirk - I shot it at Creekside early this week before I posted pics. I have it shooting already pretty nice with 20.8gr 296 w/ GM205M primers.

davidf · #35 11-16-2009, 07:29 PM

ATLRoach · #36 11-26-2009, 10:04 PM

Thanks David.. I don't know how I missed it but i leave in the morning for Ohio. I can't wait for a week worth of hunting.

jamiehunts · #37 11-27-2009, 10:14 AM

well guys i think the rut has come and gone in morgan county so i think it is time to open up my doe days. so i am going to try for one or two of the 50+ does i have seen this year so hopefully yall will need the calculator after this weekend

bull0ne · #38 11-30-2009, 05:02 PM

This just in!

Handgunner is getting 20 points worth of deer out of the woods as I post this!

He will be along shortly with pics and the play by play.

ATLRoach · #39 12-04-2009, 02:51 PM

Well back headed back from Ohio. Killed a doe with the Slug gun on Monday and shot a wide tall 135-140" 8 point with the 357 Max this morning. It hopped the back neighbors fence after 125 yard run and they wouldn't let us follow over there. They said they would look and they would call the law if we trespassed. I'm stilled ticked on my 10hr ride home. No points for us!!!!!

Man that sucks!

I just understand people like that. Why can they not be helpful and happy for a successful hunt.

Will-dawg · #41 12-25-2009, 10:00 PM

Santa brought me another box of bullets today and my freezer has some room left in it.

I only have one more weekend to hunt here in NE Ga. I'll be back in my honey hole in the morning trying to finish out the season.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!

If your worthless partner shot half the deer he hot this year with a pistol instead of with a bow, you would have this contest in the bag!!!
