    Talked to the taxidermist today. He had been out of town, picked a straight upright mount and he said he would score it for me.

    40's for the lows this weekend! My son has a special draw hunt sat and sun. Hopefully he kills a big one. After that my hunting for the year starts.

    I spotted one this morning I'll hunt in earnest this weekend. But I want to Turkey hunt starting on Saturday...there are some great Tom's out there I've been watching. This has me carrying two bows.. With good buck in the area I don't want to fire off a gun. So I use two different broad heads turkey getters or single blade on the bolts and G5 on my arrows. I sling the crossbow and carry the bow.
    Been doing this a few years not hard at all and saves my brain from long term issues from having a good buck show up with me not having a legal weapon , having to pass.

    I had to contact DEC several years ago on the legality of this. It took them 10 days to figure out an answer. As long as both weapons are legal in the season you can carry both...with them saying seems difficult to do. No no it's not...Though a good blind is important I have to be in a good seat to draw my compound well.

    Finally put a camera out today. Usually have them up the first of September. Finally got a pic. Maybe a few bucks will show up now.

    Good luck to everybody out hunting. I’m going a wee bit crazy sitting on post in the middle of a freaking desert. When I get home I’m going to hit the ground running. I should be good for at least a doe for sure. I’m a little picky on bucks and after last year I don’t care if I shoot one or not this year!

    I'm on the edge of a cut corn piece. Hoping a decent Buck steps out at some point this afternoon. Work and soccer coaching has kept me from alot of hunting. Soccer ends after this coming week and my work schedule is changing so November through the end of the season is looking good.

    Good luck! Now that he’s killed something I’ll start bow hunting. I’ve been trying to wait this hot weather out.

    Hopefully he gives me an opportunity soon. Cold front coming in Thursday with the right wind so I'll be after him.

    Good luck! We just had a cold front come through. It’s like 95 haha. Guess can’t expect much better here in the Middle East.

    That buck was there 30 mins before shooting light this morning. Hopefully he's getting closer to daylight.

    First sit last night. Had 5 doe and 2 bucks come in. The big doe is lucky I didn’t feel like dragging her to the house.
