Well we had high winds and coyotes but we sure shot the place up...
Tally for the morning was two bucks and a Fawn...
The night shoot was off the chart... Five Bucks and a Doe :!:
Three of the Bucks are Wall hangers 130 class deer 8)
Tonys was huge and is over 200 pounds, Toomer doubled up on a pair of bucks fighting... with a Muzzle Loader... had a third come in while he was cleaning the two big ones :roll:
I am still holding my tag... one of the few we have left... you never know. :?
Nine deer on opening day for twelve hunters.... best opener in a long while... I hope everyones hunt goes as well as ours did.
Pics will follow of course :idea:

[BIGREDD]

No we were hunting my back yard and Toomers place....

[fogducker]

what a great hunt..since you have all that meat..
when,s the beast feast your inviting us all to?

 

[BIGREDD]

The late start to the season this year is the reason for all the bucks... the season fell bang on the rut this year.
We aren't done hunting yet... we have yet to kill a doe on the main property and there is still a monster buck frequenting the food plot at night.
I have noticed some post rut activity already and by the time the M/L season rolls around the Final rut should be over.
The December season is my favorite and we have plenty of M/L and archery tags... we could break the camp record for number of deer taken and we are already over the top for meat.

Nice hawl. I drove up to my hunting area 500km, away only to have my dog start puking up blood then night before opening, back home the next morning to see the vet and there goes this years hunting.

WELL thanks for e-ing me those pics BREDD! As if my hunt wasn't miserable enough!!!! Never even saw a deer in two weeks in the bush!! Saw 3 bucks the sun before the hunt 300 yds from camp & 2 does yest morning!!!
First time in 20+ years at this camp I never saw a deer?? In fact, of 9 guys first week & 12 second not a single hunter saw horns?? What a weird hunt for us.. A lot of chasses went wrong way, a lot of misses?? a lot of bad weather, Fortunately the other camp king never got one either so I'm still 1 up in total animals since camps conseption (wish I could figure out how to use smileys on this new formate)

Any way congrates on your success REDD, I envey you!!

White-tail success has been pretty spotty around Ontario from what I hear and see. I spent most of the two weeks of rifle season in the bush and saw exactly one deer, for about one second, walking in to my stand on the first Tuesday. Not even enough time to shoulder the rifle, (and probably not light enough to shoot, for that matter.....)

I hunted two days locally (near Kingston), three days up in Lanark with "scar" from CGN, then last week up north of Madoc. Of four camps in that area, three were blanked for opening week, but one camp got five. Three camps hunt swampy low ground, the fourth has hardwood ridges - and they got the deer. I think we were the only second week gang up there, and in a week we saw ZERO deer.........

So now it's back to bow hunting, and the rut is just starting here. This morning was exciting in my poplar tree with fifty km winds and rain directly in my face.........and no surprises, I saw nothing again. But my partner did see a buck chasing two does real hard, around a field about a quarter mile from where I was. So we hope the weather cooperates a bit for the next few days!

GREAT hunt, BIGREDD! Good for you!
