I think they know it was a waste of breath, as did brideowanian....I bought my tag today. I have a shooting block and my bow with me at work, but probably won't practice as much as I need to this week. May take a couple of shots later in the week, but I'm only shooting a big buck at this point. I can smash does anytime. Trying to get the boss while still in feeding pattern. Usually whoever gets the first buck will cut out the tarsel glands. I've used them on a drag line, or hung them over a scrape near a stand before. Some guys like decoys, they've done me far more harm than good. I think specific setups certain times of the year are key. |

I have'nt been up in a stand hunting yet. Too warm. I can't stand those little dog pecker gnats buzzing around my face and ears the whole time. NEED FROST! |

How's everyone doing archery deer hunting? Since getting 3 does in the first 5 days, two of which were double lung heart shots, i haven't gotten anything else. No shooter bucks in my zones yet, although i've seen some very nice bucks. Gonna push hard the next couple weeks for sure.
Duck hunting has been really good. Found out one of my old spots is "back". So i've gone out there a couple times and done really good. Mostly Mallards, Teal, LOTS of Gadwalls, some wigeons. Can't wait for the Northerners to come through though. |

October Lull here. I'm too busy anyway.
Expecting a big temp drop next week, Tuesday I think, and I'll be sitting in a tree near acorns then. I've never duck hunted. |

No kidding. Every year I have more time in October than i do any other time, and it's always ****ing slow. I have seen some good rubs and even a few scrapes in my area though.

Doin' my thing in November. Never have known many to have much luck in October, and since I have to hunt public land, I pretty much don't have a prayer till November firearm. Still haven't ventured into bow hunting. I'll have to wait till the kids are all gone from the house to have that kind of time...or money...

Got a coon tonight. That was pretty funny. Shot it with the bow. Could barely see my sights but he was only like 12 yards away from the bottom of my stand. I could see well enough to place one right through his shoulder. Only went about ten feet.
heard him coming through some freshly cut corn. He was walking out of range and wasn't gonna come close to me. I tried a few lip squeaks, and sure enough, he got curious and walked my way. Went up the wrong damn tree the first time, called him again and he came right back down, then did it again with another tree. Called again, and here he came. Blamo! Master Hunter. |

Holy crap. That deer is all rack. That is opposite here. The critters here are corn fed and FAT. It is ridiculous to see little bitty racks on giant ass bucks.

The face looks weird on that Buck. Must just be the different areas of the country, even though we're not too far away.
EDIT: nice rack though. |
