Checking in. I will be bowhunting Minnesota and Wisconsin. I also drew a late muzzleloader tag for Iowa. I don't have as big of bucks on camera this year so far but do have 2 nice ones showing up pretty regularly.
I will be hunting 2 public WMA's and 80 acres of private ground all in central Arkansas. Season opens the 22nd of September Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Francis checking in.. I'll be hunting Ohio. Monster Raxx you probably don't remember me, but I remember you from the WTW day's...pretty sure I've still got one of your shirts. I'm a driver for UPS so it can be very tricky for me to find time to get out. Luckily this year I was able to use my vacation and be hunting 14 days straight starting Nov 3rd. Be at hunting camp with Josh/OH and Buckeye. Then whatever weekend that I'm not stuck at work.
Tennessee has a velvet hunt Aug 24th-26th. I don't have any giants on cam but I would love to shoot one of these in velvet. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
How did everybody do last year? KY: Opening Day 10pt TN: Opening Day 10pt IN: Day before gun 10pt I knew I had very limited hunting opportunities in KY and TN so I punched 2 tags early. I big deer hunted and walked 6 bucks 120-130 trying to kill a 150. It never happened and I killed a 10pt while walking out on public in Indiana. I have the same mentality in TN and Ohio this year but I have no problem eating my Indiana tag if I don't see the "right" one. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Let's just say I didn't do near as good as you! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Jacob here in Ohio checking in. Will be hunting Ohio and Indiana, but Indiana will be shotgun only. Killed two nice bucks last year, but both with shotgun so didn't get to score for the contest. I spend way to much time in a stand, but luckily the wife understands! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
My three favorite deer kills from last year are all on Team 10 thread from 2017 contest. Page 20 if anyone wants to check them out.
In my last 5 yrs I have killed a doe every year and 1 buck. Last year I hit my number 1 in the shoulder and never recovered him. I have some nice deer on camera which I will put up when I pull my cards next (about a week). I have the opening week off which I will be spending most of my time hunting.
I bowhunt through the entire season. I don't know why anybody would join a bowhunting contest if they planned on gun hunting during the rut. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I did not get drawn for a 5 day gun permit hunt this year. Which means I will be public land bowhunting through the whole year including the rut. I only drew a Muzzle loader permit this year. Its for 5 days (oct 20-24)
I don't personally care how people choose to hunt as long as they aren't on my team. If you join a bowhunting contest you should be bow only. If you fill you buck tag with a gun you are dead weight to the team. Why join a contest and hurt your team? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I can kill (2) bucks in Arkansas but only (1) on my permit hunt. Plus the rut is after the muzzle loading permit hunt. Our limit here in Arkansas where I live is 4 deer. Only (2) can be bucks and we have a 3 point rule. Where I bow hunt and drew the muzzle loading permit the buck rules are at least 4 points on a side, 15" spread and 18" main beam. The buck that I have on my wall from there was barely legal. It was a 7 point with a 15 1/2" spread and 18 1/4" main beams
I will spend as much time as anyone here with a bow in my hand. Rut in Ohio is not during our gun season, but I won't feel bad in the slightest if gun season comes and I pick up the shotgun and fill my tag. Every year I have done this contest it has been about having fun and enjoying talking about hunts with team mates.
