Camp Bullis is off to a roaring start.

Best buck so far was a 10 pt that green scores 158 taken last Friday AM. Numerous other bucks, with several pushing the 125 P&Y.

My wife took a 6 1/2 year old nine point (20" outside, mains > 22 inches, real nice animal)Opening 'Afternoon' along with a gobbler sporting a 9 inch beard. Buck green scored mid-130's. Both animals were taken from just over 17 yards... using a 50# Switchback, Gold Tips and 100 Gr Montec's. Buck was recovered within 50 yards. Interesting thing is that she saw this animal and 4 of his buddies on the trail camera seveal times in August; even got him on a 30 minute video during a Labor Day scouting session.

I'd post a pic but I'm not quite smart enough to master that yet. Hope y'all are having a great season thus far.

You guys are disgusting.....oops, darn typos....I mean great. Boy am I jealous. Hope I can make up some ground this weekend.

Cull

11-16-2005, 08:37 PM

Thanks guys. Like I said, I feel really blessed this season. My wife took an 8pt as well and that was more exciting for me than anything. I sent her story to Joey and maybe it will make the pages of the magazine in the next few issues.

BH26,
I bought a new Switchback a few weeks ago and have taken a couple of things with it. I started the season with my MQ32. The Switchback is a sweet shooting bow. I just got back from Archery Country. My wife got a Mathews Ultra 2 and was setting it up.
Congratulations on a great season!

bowhunter26

11-20-2005, 08:30 PM

cull you might have purchased your switchback a little early mathews will have 2 new switchbacks out jan, 1st the <xt> and the <Ld>. the xt is 31 inch axle to axle 7 1/2 inch brace height . the Ld is 33 inch the same as the original but has a 9 in brace height wow. they both have the new triple dampener roller guard that was on the conquest this year.

Off to the lease Wednesday night. Just got some pictures developed that I had for a couple weeks and there was a 140 inch 10 pt. on there. He's coming to a feeder in the afternoons that I have not hunted. I'll be camped on that stand with my 6 year old GRANDSON this weekend. Hope to have some pictures and a story Sunday night.

My 5yr. old grandson and I just got back from our hunt in Brady. We had a really good time he is a hoot to hunt with, man these grandkids are fun. We shot a doe on friday afternoon and on saturday afternoon we took a 10pt buck, he's not the big one we were after but he is a nice deer. I'll try to post a picture later. Dakota gave me more hugs over the deer than my wife do'es when I get home from a hunt. Take a kid hunting its the most fun you will ever have.

Thats my plan. But if not I had a great season.

Tomme

12-22-2005, 12:09 AM

Oh no you don't. Just because Biggen got lucky and barely edged my hog this summer, doesn't mean that you have to do better than me at Rancho Creek. Hey Mike put that bucks picture over here if you don't mind.

Thanks.

Looks like a great season for many LSBA members. Way to go all.
