Bubba and JT..Indiana Live From the Tree!

[dfhooked]

man that is terrible. I might of had to follow it in

 

[BlackSmoke]

Are you kidding me? Bubba shoots 3 bucks, 2 of which he couldn't recover because of a landowner? That's unreal. Completely ridiculous.

Darn Yankees

i can't understand why the land owners would'nt let you go get your deer. i would be peed off.

great thread guys...congrats Bubba! You'll get em next year JT!

 

[Jim Thompson]

well bubbas first bow shot deer ever took 4 years and it was worth the wait!

this is him when I found him still in the tree

and this is what we walked up on

and this is his buck. 146 and some change! congrats again Gary. glad I was there to share it brother

That's a Dandy!!!!!

Congrats Mr. Gary!!

 

[3darcher]

Sorry guys but I would have to keep on tracking with that kind of blood trail. I owe it to the deer to make a recovery if the deer is bleeding that good.

But I respect your decision to obey the landowner.

 

[southGAlefty]

Yeah that's a little ridiculous but congrats Bubba on one stud anyway and it sounds like you guys had another heck of a trip

 

[Handgunner]

Thanks for taking us along! Great bucks killed by all!

 

[Jeff Phillips]

Connection probs and deac bat yesterday. two days of solid rain and 30 mph winds, 2 doe and spike for both morning and afternoon hunt, think it was the same three deer.... the 150 10 i saw the first morning is the only shooter i've seen, poor, very poor for here.

raining now, forecast to rain the next three days.....bummed, very Bummed!!! several things working against us here, doesn't look good for us........

 

[Jim Thompson]

sorry to hear you may have hot it bad gadget.

if it helps any at all, I can tell you from first hand that after the first day or 2 of heavy rain the deer up there will be on their feet.

dont help much with a bow in your hand, but at least you should be able to see them.

hang in there brother

Sometimes moral, ethical, and legal responsibilities do not agree. That is a tough situation that you described, i.e. good blood trail leading across the fence.

Many would throw caution into the wind and went after the deer. They may have recovered it and maybe not. They may have been caught over the fence and maybe not. They may have left an obvious trail for that land owner to find later and caused trouble in that fashion. Just not a good situation any way you look at it.

The ultimate responsibility rests in the hands of the shooter. If the shot had been true, there would be no disappointment. Learn and move on.

Thanks for encouragement Jim, sounds like you guys had a really tuff hunt too, losing two bucks like that would be devastating to me!!

no go for us this morning, pouring rain and high wind, the river has come out of banks and flooded part of the property, can't get to our stands, they're under water, expected to get worse with three with more days of rain!! may have to throw in the towel on this hunt.

someone may have some new climbers and lockons when the river goes down......lol
