Heck ya. im real excited to be on this team and in this contest. My season doesnt start until Oct. 1. taking way toooo long to get here.
Just checkin in and seeing if anyone getting anymore good pics or been out yet. Planning a trip to KY within the next couple weeks before our season here in IN kicks off.
Good deal just wanted to make sure he got us cleared. Just found out I got drawn for one of our military archery hunts this year. So now I have a chance at good buck from KY, IN and that. So hopefully I catch up with one somewhere. The sooner the better, Im getting ansy...
I'm planning to head out Saturday, but also hoping to make it out for the evening set tomorrow evening, again on some public land. One glimpse of what I believe to be the patriarch buck ("Gimpy") near my home this year, but the does and fawns continue to be regular pm visitors.
Wasn't able to go this morning, but did pull the cards on cams yesterday ...starting to get a few better quality bucks Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
Caught the evening sit last night at one of my usual favorite morning spots-a flood plain with pine, beach and oaks. Despite my better judgement didn't sit in my normal spot but 30 yds deeper- 7pm, from my normal spot I hear 2 big snorts followed by ruckus as he dashed into the woods followed by a couple of more snorts-evening over. Today I bumped 2 headed in this morning. Passed on a fawn at <5yds, I know it was trying to find mom, but its punny bleat was cool as it passed by. Had one sneak behind me snorting and cracking through the hedgerow, only to kick him up on my way out, ~25yds from my spot. Doh!
went out saturday morning spooked 7 walking in 3 bucks 4 does and only saw on doe in stand planning on going monday after class
I've only been out 3 times so far, temps have been warm (80+) and my stories are inline above. I won't be getting out this weekend, but I hope to be hitting it pretty hard in the next few weeks. I missed bowhunters post above, the #s sound promising. FWIW-I think only 4 of us presently in play with the rest of team's seasons opening the end of this month/start of Oct.
I can't wait for Oct 1st, all of the corn around me is getting shelled so no places for them to hide now!!!! plus I leave for North Dakota the weekend of the 13th for a week long deer hunt!!! Best of luck to everyone that is out in the woods already
My season still don't start till the middle of October up here in Mass, but i have been out looking for some nice trees to sit in and found some good signs. Hopefully i can fill at least 1 of my 3 tags.
Not sure if anyone else is watching the live thread, but Im pretty sure that team 3 is on the board..........
I saw 1 doe driving to hunt, kicked one out as I parked. Sat in the of and on drizzle all day hoping for a decent break that when they would get up and feed. All day I saw, squirrels, a field rat and just about every type of bird in the county. That my friends, is a bad day.
I killed a doe yesterday, no one around to take pics...doesn't have to be first doe I hope. I can get all the bonus doe tags i want for seven $ each Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
