Latest news from the field 10/31/11

Well, saw some bucks and many does this weekend. No shooters. Weather has been great for deer hunting. Problem we're seeing is that the overall deer numbers are way down. Everybody we've talked to are seeing less deer now than a few years ago. Not going to get into a big discussion again about regulations, but the Indiana DNR is doing an absolute horrible job managing the deer herd. Enough said about that. (If anybody wants me to go into detail, just ask, but be prepared for an ear full)!

Dave shot a doe on October 21st. He was off work, and I had to work, so he didn't have a cameraman. Said he passed a 120" eight pointer. He had a great morning.

I've got a lot of days off coming up and the weather is supposed to be good for hunting. We've been limited on our hunting spots and we plan to spend some money on some hunt leases next year. It's really a shame that hunting has become a rich mans sport. (Again, if you want me to go into detail about this, just ask)! Ha ha.

Good luck to everyone. It's October 31st, time for the rut!!!

Remember to respect the game that you hunt, and to praise God for your time afield.

Team Huber/Nunemaker on the board

Well, I decided to hunt the evening of October 12th. Dave had to babysit, so I took the camera and went by myself. It was a very warm but calm evening, and my expectations weren't very high. About an hour before dark, I had 3 does come from a small pond and make their way to a food plot that Dave and I planted. At about 12 steps, I double lunged one of the does. She ran about 30 yards and piled up. It wasn't easy, but I got it on film. Would have preferred to have Dave there running the camera! Video is ok for filming myself.
Well, anyway, we're on the board! Can't wait for the rut to start!

Good luck, God bless, and shoot straight!

Oct 5 2011 Deer Season

And I'm sitting at home with 2 broken fingers!!!! One of them being my trigger finger. I'm just itching to get this cast off and get in the woods. So all you guys complaining that it's to hot to hunt I will gladly trade you places! That's all I got to say since I can't type left handed !!!!
