Im a big dummy!!!
If the season wasnt over for me....it is now!!!
capsized a kayak in the icey Potomac River this morning while chasing ducks....I would show you pics but my camera was given a really nice bath while I was swimming after my oar....I also lost a goose decoy and my favorite headlamp....
This entry has taken me 45 minutes to write since i broke my left hand and am now typing with 1 hand
Doesnt look like I will be shooting in my upcoming archery tourneys.....I am a living disaster (but thank God im still living and not an ice pop as some have been made by that river)

Andy got that big sucker!!!
The ole boy just hung around far too much and thats not a good thing with a persistant hunter like Andy...
here is Andys story...pics to follow
Thanks everyone. Most of you guys know I hunt Poolseville allot, I have several properties, one Ive never even hunted yet. Ive been having a tough season after my first kill in Sept on video. I actually had a bigger buck than this guy at 60 yards, typical 12 thats much bigger, we were guessing 170-180. I saw him 3 times in one day and that was it, never saw him again. I hunted for him hard for a long time with no luck. I passed on some realy nice bucks in the process and messed up on a few while self videoing with no shots taken. Ive been checking my properties as often as I could since Christmas where I saw this guy coming in every day, sometimes at 2PM, sometimes right at dusk. I waited for a good wind and sure enough myself and Phil saw him in the stand and got good video footage of him at about 3PM, but he was following some Does 100 yards out. Next night, I had Troy on stand filming me, but the buck didnt come in during daylight, we did see about 30 deer and had several nice bucks come in and got to see a good buck battle, UFC style. I checked cameras and he dissapeared for a few days so I didnt hunt but I was checking the cameras every day. Once he showed back up I decided to go out and try and film myself since no one was available yesterday afternoon. Well, I saw 40+ deer, and no shooters until right at dusk where I saw him coming up a creek bottom and right into my shooting lane. I turned the camera on, hit record, grabbed my bow with lots of deer all around me, turned my sight pin lights on. I knew he was going to be at 18 yards when I made the shot if he continued his path, so it was a chip shot provided nothing went wrong. I made the shot, saw him kick and run and I knew he was hit good. I saw the Firenock sticking out and watched it go about 40 yards and then started spinning around. I knew the arrow hit mid body behind front shoulder and buried in opposite shoulder, but, it was getting dark, and things happen fast especially when a big boy like this comes in. I thought the arrow had broken off and thats what I was seeing. I knew he was big, so I took no chances and decided to just get down and go back in the AM. Turned out where I saw the Firenock is where hit bit the dust. We saw blood sprayed out everywhere starting from point of impact, thats a good sight to see after a long wrestless night. I'll post a few pics later. Thanks Phil for helping me look for him although that was an easy one, and for helping me get him loaded up.

Happy New Year DEERZ!!!
We rang in the first day with a bang!!!! well....not so much a bang but a thwack!!!
one exciting evening in the trees yielding 4 critters....
I knew Jeff wanted to shoot stuff but was surprised he wanted to shoot at this buck....He has not killed one since the big one on the 1st of Nov.
He and I had already dropped a doe a piece but he was tore up from the floor up watching this guy limp across the field (thanx 2 joe shmo xbow down the street)
It just goes to show that any size buck can get your blood boiling!!!
We were pumped!!! and to take 3 on film from the tree in a matter of hours is awesome and alot of work and waaay 2 much fun!!! Celebrated with pizza while reviewing footage and gave a dvd to another patron in the restaraunt that asked how we did...(introduced him to MWC) took the deer to a buddy of ours and we will be butcherin fools on tuesday!!!
not sure if hinkys will make the dvd.....lets just say he had a bow malfunction and it was not pretty....quick but not for the squeemish(IT HAPPENS)
What a way to start off the new year

Hinkys Trad buck
Not such a TRADITIONAL adventure
After seeing Troy arrow his 9 pointer with his Traditional gear, I knew that bustin' a doe just wasn't gonna hold up!!!
SO I've been watching a 3 point piebald for about a month now and has been very regular but I'd love to see him next year so he's gotten a free pass (even with the TRAD bow)
Finally a new player comes into the game about 3 weeks ago and was not regular at all on the trail cam, some mornings, some evenings, some late nights and even some mid-days. Finally after Christmas and the heavy snow he's been regular and the past 2 nights he's been in just after 5 with a little day light to spare.
Phil steps up to the plate to video and 5:00pm comes and goes and while I've been a nervous wreck for the past 60 mins, he's like told ya he wasn't coming, let's go.......
About 2 minutes later Phil says "here he comes!", and he's with the piebald 3. After a few minutes of checking out the blind and making sure everythings okay they finally commit and in they come. It felt like hours going by as I waited (nervously shaking) for him to give me THE shot.....THE shot never came but I felt like I was able to make the shot (seeing as how earlier in the day I put 9 arrows inside a grapefruit at 10 yards and he's only at 8).
Well not only was the shot not good it was horrible, HIGH AND WAY BACK.......so we just got out of there, got home and reviewed the footage.....Jeff and CJ came over on their way home from hunting as well and reviewed the footage. No one really felt any sort of good feelings so the plan was to come back in the am.
Well 1030pm rolls around and Jeff says it's supposed to rain/snow in the am, we;d better go now....so he and I head out at 1100pm and after 330yards, and very little blood I walk to within 10 yards of him and off he goes...WTF.....
We inspect the little blood that had pooled up where he'd bedded down and it was dark brownish and stunk like urine.....I'd heard him stumbling for what seemed like 50-75yards and thought he'd went down again so we headed back home and would head out midday today....
Well all morning my stomach was churning so I had to go out myself. I went to where we'd jumped him and head where I saw him run....with an inch of snow on the ground I knew that had we not gone out last night, he would have died right there and that was the last place Jeff or I would have thought to look (so thank you Jeff for planning ahead with the snow coming).
Anyway I follwed where he'd gone the night before just looking for him as the snow would ahve covered up what little blood there could have been. After about and hour and nothing I headed back home.
CJ met me this afternoon and we were gonna head out again with a fresh set of eyes to see if we could find him.....
After about 100 yards from where I'd turned of this morning there he laid.......
What a RELEIF.....
He's not the biggest buck, not even my biggest but he's a decent 8 and MY 1st TRAD kill, and I'm soooo happy that we put in the time and effort to find this deer!!!!
Thanks to PHIL for filmin', JLH for his experience and coming out in 20 degree temps at 11pm, and CJ for coming out in the snow with what had to feel like little hope of finding him.
Im glad you found him Randy!!! Way 2 keep after em
