      Heartbreaker Story

      Heartbreaker Story

      Look, when a deer is spaying blood from both lungs, clearly staggering and ready to drop, AND someone just shot it 40 yrds away from you....its not rocket science. Perhaps you're siding with the who claimed a deer he didn't earn because it staggered 120 ft on your side of a line..but...

      Looking for hunting partner

      While I don't have any private land to offer, I have taught my daughters and three young guys how to bow hunt down in the hoosier national forest and all three have taken deer down there and moved on to take other game as well. I live on the NE side of Indy and drive down there regularly and...

      Heartbreaker Story

      Thanks for your kind comments. I am astounded by the the unsportsman like conduct of people these days. If it had happened the other way around, I would have let the guys buck drop, congratulated him and helped him drag it and load it onto his quad. I hear your comments about shoulder shots and...

      Blood trail light??

      I've heard differing opinions about these lights and have been tracking deer for 20 years. I would consider investing in one if I had any real confidence that it makes that much of a difference. I have tried the blue lens before and personally didn't see any real improvement over a good old...

      NE Indiana hunter dies after tussle with shot buck

      i heard about this story and it really is unfortunate. i have run into this situation a couple of times over the last 20 years as a bow hunter...I've never been injured but you really have to wade in carefully. If I was to instruct an inexperienced hunter about this type of situation, why not...

      When do you prefer to deer hunt?

      I have had more success in the evenings than I have in the mornings. However, during the peak of the rutt, I have had great success between 10am - 2pm. The bucks roam all day so I usually sit most of the day during that time only.

      Heartbreaker Story

      Just sharing my pain with others who could appreciate it... while i am primarily a bow hunter, I took the muzzle loader out this year for opening week of shotgun since the rutt was slow coming this year. Last week, I shot a beautiful 150-160 class buck at 40 yds but it turned out it was in the...

      Next year I will have to find a new place to hunt

      There are several brokers on line that lease hunting property almost everywhere in the country. The downside is that some of these land owners need to put the crack pipe down when setting their lease rates. Having had the same issue, I resorted to driving a few extra miles from Fishers down to...

      # of places to hunt deer

      I bow hunt primarily in the hoosier national forest...133,000 acres spread out over 6 counties. I purchased the topo maps for all six counties and spend a lot of time exploring in between hunts. In this case, the more places you know, the better off you are as you can't pattern deer as easily in...

      Anyone ever loose faith in hunting?

      This has been my 20th hunting season and I have had both amazing and absolutely heartbreaking experiences in the woods. For most, it either compells you go back out or it makes you quit....but clearly, if you quit, your luck can never change. I got laid off this year and money has been scarce...

      Coyotes at work.

      wow is right! personally, i think coyotes are over populating here in IN and I am happy to thin their numbers whenever I can do so legally. While everything has to eat...there has to be a balance and I've seen what happens when there is none. I took my nephew hunting last year and he got his...

      Hunting Question

      I agree, I also tried to find the law as I have heard 100-200 feet from roadways. I'm pretty sure crossing the road with your gun is okay..just not shooting across the road.
