    I'll spend my entire season prospecting around on farms all over South Central KY. I'll probably hunt the best few cooler afternoons in Sept and try to get it done. If I do then I'll hunt does and help everyone else for the rest of the season. If I don't then I'll watch the cameras through the first 3 weeks of Oct for the rare shooter that is showing himself in daylight. Then I'll take off most of the days between 10/25 and 11/11 and try to kill one before the orange army descends. During gun season I'll fool with my buddies and family that are sissy enough to rifle hunt. :biggrin:

    After gun season if I'm still holding a buck tag I'll try to get back on one somewhere in Dec or Jan.

    I don't hunt anything else so it's all bowhunting KY whitetails for me. I do have 3 Iowa preference points so things might change next year.

    Hunting whitetail around home and hopefully taking a trip or two to SD to chase roosters. I have a 4 year old GSP in his prime and ready to find some long tails.

    Well this is year 4 in my goal to kill a good whitetail in the top 10 whitetail states but I have really good leases in Ohio and Illinois and I own land in Michigan so it's very hard for me to give them spots up I have a lot of good bucks on them properties and some already on the wall. So I decided I'm young so why move fast so bring on the miles it's going to be a busy October and November. good luck to you all

    Early season whitetail in central WI - trying for 130+ only
    Oct 1 opener in southwest MI
    maybe squeeze in another WI hunt (if needed)
    Oct 28 - Nov 12 for annual family deer camp in mid-MI

    my goal is to get 2 in the freezer before Michigan rifle season opens Nov 15. If not I may hit SE Michigan in late season.
