    Between the low temps and the rain forecast it could be a pretty productive opening weekend. Good Luck!

    This weekend's conditions really look like it's lining up for a good hunt. The temps will be dropping into the 50's (not ideal but better then 90) the moon phase is perfect, and no rain all week and through the weekend. Lets get on the board and show the rest of the teams here that just because we are alternates, doesn't mean they can take us lightly.

    It really bites that I'm on call this weekend, otherwise I'd make a good effort to get out. I'm going to try next week, but it will most likely be 2 weeks before I get out.

    No luck in Ohio - too hot. Opening here in MI this Saturday with a front. Hope to get out this weekend at some point. My non deer hunting cousin has a wedding. :bash:

    0 deer sightings in my first 4 sits, but not expecting much until we get a cold snap. Supposed to rain the next few day so might not be able to get out much. I'll put a doe on the ground by rut and then start on my buck mission.
    On a side note my father and brother who hunt the same property's as me both have killed a deer. Dad shot a decent one that we didn't even have in camera. Picture below. ImageUploadedByBowhunting.com Forums1475153897.291204.jpg

    Not the best picture, but I'm guessing he will go low 130s before deductions.

    Hows it goin boys i just flew in from elk hunting, had no luck got rained on for the most part and the rut was winding down in our area saw a few 300 class bulls but none in bow range. I did manage to get to west central il and deployed 9 games cameras on the property that me and madman will be hunting the first week of nov. I will not hunt until then will be working 7 days a week until oct 27th then i get to hunt all season long. hoping on having some good buck pics when we go down to hunt.

    Update...

    Hung a 16' ladder stand earlier this week. Has been raining off and on for the last 4 days. In the stand right now and its a beautiful Saturday morning! Saw 4 doe but no bucks yet. Hoping this colder weather gets the bucks moving here in the next couple weeks! My hit listers have all gone MIA which they usually do early season. [​IMG]

    well at least you have great taste in football teams, but I fear you have horrible taste in colleges. "Rock Chalk baby"
