in laws live on small acerage south of town and all the sudden nonresident bucks are crusing. hope its the same where i hunt in Missouri a 10 a 8 and a 6 where in what is essentially his yard this morning
Saw one this morning. Went into a new area blind and intended to hunt a saddle that I found on the topo. As it turned out the road bisecting the WMA ran right through that saddle. Glad I went in after first light, or I would have been bumbling in the dark. Next opportunity for me will be tomorrow afternoon - maybe. But definitely Sunday morning. Good lick those that are out!
Could have shot any of the 3 deer I seen today. 2 1/2 8pt, a yearling doe and a buttonbuck. The doe was too small, and if by chance she actually was the button's mom, decided the button buck had had enough trauma. He had a 4 inch scar on top of his head that Y'ed off for an additional 2". Thinking either barbed wire or bobcat got him as a fawn. West winds just don't work for normal hunting, didn't see anything that made me think mature bucks were day walking yet. Usually will see one or two whether it's 50 or 200yds away. I'll be back out the 7th thru the 17th. I have all the time in the world
Getting ready to head out for the afternoon. Good luck to the rest of you that are getting out! Sent from my XT1650 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
tonight after putting kids to bed I drive down to cabin to enjoy my week off of work and try to get a buck. my spypoint camera is depressing when it comes to bucks but I think the main travel routes in our timber have changed due to outside factors. Weather looks like it is going to cooperate, Im 50% packed and 100% excited, and hopeful the standing corn is down
Was out this morning and saw nothing other than squirrels and other hunters. Another new area for me, hunting the edge of a swamp.

I got a early start yesterday, set up in a new spot. Had couple of does come in, never got into range. For a first sit it wasn't a total bust. Hope to be back at this coming weekend. Good luck Neb!
Good luck guys that are out this week. My next opportunity will be an evening probably Thursday, then this weekend.
when 2 large dogs trotted through that was it for me. saw no deer checked 2 trail cameras, had a buck id shoot on camera yesterday during shooting hours. hopefully he comes back tonight at same time
ended up in a new spot for the evening and am using the *gasp* crossbow. good sign in here, picked this based off some other trail camera pics. am hopeful
Back to the front page for us. Shoot what you want, make sure it is legal and ethical. Don't let a competition or peer pressure dictate your choice. Shoot for you, not us. Enjoy the moment(s) of the hunt.
I've filed an official protest on team 3's behalf. I think we should all be held to the same standards. Cheaters in life are cheaters regardless.
had to head home from cabin for family stuff, headed back tomorrow for the evening hunt. went into pro shop to replenish my arrows, in time you break one lose one etc. had my 3 year daughter and let her pick wrap and flething colors. new arrows will same as current easton axis 5mm 300 spine, will be about 509gr total, bright pink wrap with 2 pink tiger fletchings and 1 white. ill head back this evening to pick them up.
