Drop tine 1.webarchive (184.21 KB) Drop tine.webarchive (185.29 KB) Drop tine.webarchive (185.29 KB)I started out the season shooting a doe during early archery at a spot where I pretty much doe hunt only. Then I went back to work,working 7 days a week an 10 hours a day out of town. I didn't know if I was going to be able to get any time off for the peak of the rut. Where I buck hunt only,from November 2nd til opening day of firearm is some of the best rutting activity goes on. Once the lead starts to fly(or as Greendog puts it the orange army comes out) the bucks pretty much go nocturnal. But this year seemed not to be the case. So I got some time off from work an entered the woods on November 8th an saw two different bucks that morning. I got down around 1 o'clock an started checking the trail cameras an there where a lot of good pic's. Then on the evening of November 9th the Muy Grande of bucks come by a big 10 pointer,an could not get a shot because of too many tree limbs in the way. So I waited until he got just out of sight an I grunted at him an he stopped. So I did a snort wheeze an he came back into one of my shooting lanes dead down wind of me. He stopped when he caught my scent,I already had my bow at full draw,I was trying to figure out if I had to shoot over or under a tree limb. At this time his nose is up in the air an he's licking his nose vigorously trying to figure out what it is that he is smelling. Then he pounds his foot into the ground as I go to take aim right behind his shoulder,I know that I'm down to the last seconds of he sticking around. As I'm taking aim I could not see through my peep sight,it had twisted on me. This was the first year that I have used a two string peep sight,I've always used a three string peep in the past an was talked into a two string at the archery shop. Then on November 11th I had another nice big 8 pointer come by at twenty yards I could not believe it. Just two days ago I had a chance at a pope an young 10 pointer. Now another 8 pointer well out past his ears is heading my way. I took a shot at him,everything looked good he ran about 30 yards an stood there for a second or two an took off like he was going down. I never could find him. Now at this time I'm sick to my stomach,an did not want to hunt anymore. I talked it over with some of my good friends an they got me back up into the tree saddle again. Now the morning of November 12th the opener of firearm season. I watch as a buck chases a doe around the woods,the stick's where cracking an there was a lot of commotion I could not see how big the buck was it is so thick. So I climbed back up into the tree saddle on the evening of November 13th an thats when this 9 pointer with a drop tine came by at 40 yards. The winchester xp3 found its mark an did its job. This was some of the most rut activity that I have seen in a while. I saw more bucks than doe's this year.

Hey strippitman hows it going? I've been trapping just as long as you have,so i'm no expect at any means. But are you boiling then dying an waxing your traps. An don't touch them with your bare hands. An always wear rubber gloves. An if your using lure,put it down in the the dirt hole so they can't roll in it,they have to dig it out to get to it. I was told to never put your lure outside of the dirt hole. I was having the same problem as well. An as far as the trap being dug up it sounds like they are smelling something on that trap an digging it up. I hope this helps,i'm still trying to get my first coyote in a foot hold as well. I got one with a snare last year. It's amazing of how much power one of those wild dogs have. It almost chewed threw the aircraft cable.

This is what I do with my deer burger,mix in the fatty's beef burger( I think it's 75/25) I can buy at the grocery store. I send both the beef an deer through the grinder and it takes away some of the gamey taste an seems to be the right mixture on the fat. I use to add just beef suet until I found out that some of the butcher shop's around here add fatty beef burger. I don't like adding pork because you have cook it harder and beef is closer to a deer than a pig is.

This reminds me of my house there's a neighbors not to far from my house and the deer go to them when the lead starts flying. The deer live off of bird feeders/gardens and the people that live there feed them as well.

I know that you asked for the green county guys to reply on this,but same thing is happening here in St. Joe county. I'm not even seeing them moving at night. I don't know if it's the moon or all of the sudden changes we are experiencing in high/low pressure's right now.

Taste buds are still off a bit but starting to feel better. Probably sight the 450 in tomorrow rather than sit in a stand. My guess is I'll still have the cough/sneeze thing going tomorrow even though it's not nearly as bad today. I had the same sickness it lasted 2weeks,an uncontrollable cough. Bottom line it sucked.

Tough loss,but look at the positive you picked the right spot/tree and self filming yourself. Try putting a washed scent free rag between you tree stand an tree and that should take care of the squeaking problem. I agree with the light switch,the buck's up here in northern Indiana are running wild. I saw 8 different buck's in two day's.
