Nebraska

[Ronny]

Hey guys! This is Angie, Ronny's youngest daughter. Apparently I am filling in on his posts since he is in the wild outdoors with no internet! :D He just wanted to let everyone know that they made it to Nebraska safe-n-sound. I will update yall if anything cool happens (like if he actually shoots a deer this time...shhh...don't tell him I said that!) Anyway, good night and happy hunting!

[recar]

thank for the update!!!

Angie, Michael asked me to post over here and TBH. If you dont mind I'll just update here instead of starting another thread.

Here's what I got so far.

The cast of Ronny, biggen, tomme, and exit 110 have made it to Nebraska. They spent the better part of the morning scoutin and setting stands. Found some good sites for the next few days, expecting a wind change Wed. and have stands set for that. They got done in time to hunt this afternoon.


So far biggen has had a small buck come by. Michael (exit 110) has seen a few does, and has deer moving in but cant make them out yet. Havent heard from the others.

They are able to get text out, but for some reason cant get pics to send. It might be next week before we have pics, but I'll keep this updated.

Angie, thanks for the updates, I like your post a lot better than Ronnys. You are a lot more truthful and funnier than Ronny. Angie and Medic911, we will be looking forward to your updates on the Nebraska crew. Bob

Thanks for the updates guys. I am pulling for them especially since I had to bail out on the hunt at the last minute because of work...drat that hated 4 letter word. Tell them good luck

AM update.

Clear and 40deg, Michael is sitting on a draw that the deer come off a corn field. They have started to cutting the field, pushing deer out of the field. Has a 115 class 8py already come by. Plan is to sit all day for till they done cutting.

Ronny, buck on him just not a shooter.

Brad, had buck come by early.

Tomme, no word yet.

More to come

Well Dad was texting me during the evening hunt so I could pass on an update. I'm not sure why he was was texting me when he should have been paying attention. Now I see why he hasn't killed a Nebraska buck yet after all these trips!! But oh well, I kinda felt like I was hunting with him for a little while yesterday, lol. Anyway, when we were talking, he said he had 2 little bucks at 5 yards. Tomme had a big 8 under him, and Brad had a small 6 hanging out. He said there was a big one on a trail camera and that was where he was set up, but there was no sign of him yet. When I asked where all the big uns were, he said they were hiding from him. I asked how come and he said cuz they were scared! :) They are seeing lots of turkeys. I guess that's it for now. I will update later if I go hunting with him in the morning,lol

Well, between surgeries (I'm a surgical technologist), I got to hunt a little through texts. At 7:26 dad saw a big 8, but it was too far out to get a shot. He has seen lots of activity, several does. He says he'll get it done this year. Got word at 10:08 am that Tomme shot a big doe they wanted me to let yall know about. That's it til the evening hunt!

[medic911]

afternoon report.

Brad blanked.

Tomme saw does and a young 8pt.

Ronny had a 6 and an 8pt with lots of does.

Michael saw a 10 that will push 150". 2 small 8pts. and does. 10pt was out of range, but he has him pinpointed now.

Wether bout to change given rain and snow with the hi's in the upper 30's. Should get the bucks up and moving.

stay tuned.

Jeff

PS
Its hard to sitting here getting text every time a deer show.

[Ronny]

Thanks for posting that update! I got the same one from Michael and thought I was gonna have to type all that out, so good job :-) I will post if I can tomorrow since I know dad will be texting me. It is hard being at work and trying to sneak a peek at my phone in between cases to see what's hoppin', lol! Man I wish I was there.

[medic911]

Got a text this morning that Michael was sitting in a new stand with a HUGE 10pt at ten yards. Asked him why he was texting instead of shooting? Seems while he was pulling his bow up the up rope broke and the bow fell to the ground. Off came the string...http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gifhttp://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif So he was sitting there with a busted bow and a shooter at 10 yards.

Then while texting all this he sends another ( i think I could hear tears through the text) had a big 8pt come in shooting range.

As of right now they have the bow fixed and getting to shoot it. Thanks to Brad and this bow press.

Didnt even here if anything else was seen.

Well at least you got a better report than I did. All I got was a text from Ronny(dad) that said "Back in the stands for the morning hunt." Well, I mean, duh! That's what they went there for. I kinda figured they would be hunting! Come on, I want to know if anything good is happening!!

[BOBSTER]

No evening update, it doesn't look good for the Nebraska boys. Bob

[ldt]

Mabey they were up late trailing, hanging and taking picture of trophy deer and just did not have time to do an update. Let's hope so.

[Ronny]

Nope, no luck. They saw 2 deer total last night. And this morning it was misting rain and really cold. Tomme and biggen stayed in bed. Michael and Dad were gonna give it a try but didn't seem too hopeful. I haven't heard anything since about 8:15 this morning. I'll try to update if they text me later

[Ronny]

Well I asked Michael if there was any news to report so I will just pass on what he said: "Yep, it's freezing, raining, and the deer are not as stupid as us!They stayed bedded down while we froze our behinds off in a tree." Soooo, I'm thinking it wasn't a good day!

[Ronny]

Well I just got home from Nebraska and the weather kicked our butts. The first couple days it was hot with a south wind, a south wind is hard to hunt up there. The next couple days it was cold with a strong north wind 30 to 40 mph and raining. Not a lot of deer movement. We did see some shooters but no shots at bucks. Tomme did shoot a doe.
We had a great time and will be back next year ( booked before we left ).

Thanks to Angie and Jeff for posting for us and thank ya'll for playing along, it was fun.

They cut the soy beans and the Chinese beetles attacked the pic doesn't due justice to how many there were!!

Like Ronny said it was tough conditions to hunt but it was great fun and I always relish the opportunity to witness God's great beauty and this time the tree's did not disappoint!

[Ronny]

A few more pictures. These are all from the trail camera.

[Chunky]

Sorry you guys didn't have more luck, thanks for the report. Tomme, congrats on the doe.

[Lockpro]

Sorry it didn't turn out better. Still beats working.

[BOBSTER]

Looks like the deer were there, just the luck was not with you. Bob
