I hope that you do too, and I REALLY hope you put us on the board first. Let's leave the rest of them in the dust.
I agree!! Travis, the pressure is on you! Shoot SOMETHING this weekend! Let's make it happen. I have a great feeling about this team!
I most likely won't shoot a doe until at least October, gotta try and get another early season buck Its gonna be a long time until September 16 I'm afraid
That makes perfect sense since you have specific bucks located and patterned. I don't have those limitations and the sky is the limit. By the way, what's everyone doing? Hibernating?
Doing paperwork now, trying to test the water on whether the wife will let me out of the house on Labor Day?
I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that. If I want to go my wife wants me to go because she wants me to be happy. I'm a lucky guy.
Well, here's hoping yours doesn't mind you going. Like I said, the pressure is on you to score early.
Well, I bought my non-resident Kentucky and Arkansas tags today. There went $500. I've still got to decide on Ohio. The second weekend of November is our family gun hunt in Missouri and I won't miss that so I have to buy a Missouri gun tag even though I'll probably stick to my bow. That's $225. I'm torn and can't decide whether to buy the Missouri archery tag (another $225) or skip that and buy an Ohio tag ($165). It sounds less expensive, but then I'm looking at about $300 in gas round trip to Ohio. The cool thing about going to Ohio, besides the chance at a great buck, would be that I would take a solid week and a half off, drive to Ohio and hunt for five days, then drive to Missouri and hunt for four days. If I skip Ohio, I'll take six days off (Tuesday through Tuesday), take the camper to Missouri and bow hunt by myself for a few days and then my family will show up for the gun opener. The upside to that is it will be very relaxing having the camp to myself for a few days. The downside is that the chances of killing a decent buck where we hunt are a little on the slim side. I'll figure it out, but I'm curious: Which would you guys choose?
I think I would like the two states as a week and a half off. Sounds like a nice little vacation, plus a better chance at killing a big buck
I'm really leaning that direction. I'm not posting this because I need help deciding. I'm just kind of sharing my thoughts on the issue. It's sort of a nice problem to have.
What cole said! Being able to actually spend a decent time in the woods, putting several hunts together back to back to back can be extremely beneficial in putting a big one down
I know. The more I think about it the more I really like the idea. Incidentally, Pat, unless you've just done it I think you still need to let Fitz know that you're the team captain. There's a thread you have to post the info in.
I'm curious about something. If you happen to know, what is everyone's total arrow weight and FOC %? Mine right now weigh 480 grains with a 17% FOC. I'm thinking about adding another 50 grains up front for a 530 grain arrow which is what I used to shoot out of my Drenalin. That added weight would give me a 20% FOC.
I would take the time off work !!!! Your lucky I wish I could take a week and a half off school to do that, luckily I'm taking 4 days to go upstate at the end of September to the adirondacks with my brother and hoping to shoot a giant big woods bruiser up there, then I get back and it's gonna be October first and I'm skipping school then of obviously and I'm hoping to get atleast a doe on Long Island, anyway my season is starting to take shape
