    I'm pretty pump as I get to head out to my parents place thursday morning and hunt the afternoon. I finally also get to check my cam that has been out since early July. I try not to get my hopes to high but with the area I'm hunting odds are pretty high compared to close to home.

    No problem! Don't shoot anything for this contest that you wouldn't otherwise shoot. Good call :tu:

    No worries here either CT. One of my big goals for this year and until I continually succeed is self control. I did pull through pretty good last year and held for a good shot on my bear this year. Lots of time left.
    If we lose 1st place by 50 and you don't fill your two deer then we'll all be able to give you crap about it til next season or forever

    Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting a lot. I've been pretty busy with school work and bowhunting.com has been on the backburner. I have had cams out recently and I have some decent pictures of some bucks. They are all nighttime and relatively blurry but they are bigger than anything I have shot so far so I will be shooting if I can get them in range. I hope I can get on them. Im also planning to go out to western sd in a month or so and try to get on a mulie. We will see how that goes. Any of you guys been out here? Any tips? Hope everything is going well for you!

    Been awfully warm outside so I have not went yet. Still continuing to receive some nice pictures. Most bucks are out of velvet now so new ones will filter thru as they find their spot in the pecking order. I will try to get a couple times this weekend as the temperatures are going to be more appropriate for fall.

    I'm checking cams in the morning sometime and planning on sitting near whichever is better looking but 99% sure which it'll be. Good luck to you guys that are heading out tomorrow. Getting anxious now

    I went out the last couple evenings and saw some deer. Had few shot opportunities but elected to pass on the does and fawns. Saw a small buck tonight. The deer don't seem real active as they are just concentrating on food sources right now. My wheat and brassica food plots are getting hammered. The coming day should see the first signs of scrapes.

    Early today I put the final touches on the Ia property which will see much of my time. 5 stands and a blind are all ready to go for the opener in a little less the two weeks. Ia is my best chance at something 160 inches or bigger this year. The landowner is forcing me to hold off for something 160 or better. The excitement is building as we near October 1st.

    I was out last night. Had a few does and fawn coming through. Had a little 6 that spooked shortly after coming into view. My heart was racing when I saw part of the rack and thought it was that funky one I've had around. Hopefully something tonight. It was too beautiful out last night not to enjoy

    I had full intentions on going out tonight and of course the wind is in the worst possible direction ever!! I decided to at least pull the cards in my cameras because its been two weeks and I barely had anything!! 1 property had all does/fawns and a coyote. The other property that I have that I was going to hunt tonight had a nice 8 point on it and then another hunter walking around in front of the camera in 3 different directions leaving his scent ALL OVER!!! I guess its time to talk to the land owner and figure out who this goof ball is!!!
