Guess I'll start out w/ the intros... I hunt a mix of 40 private acres in Adams Co WI and public land in IN, MI, and probably KY this year. Pretty active on the boards and in the field. I got skunked last year with a bow; I let several little'uns walk as well as this dandy 2.5 yo I call "Cheese." Not sure if he's still around but fingers crossed. I only ran 2 cameras this summer up in WI; and one of those crapped out a month ago. I just put out 3 more this weekend. Only a couple of definite shooters so far; I'll post those later this week. I'll update my sig field with my gear set up once I get all that finalized. Just ordered a Bowtech Realm and don't have it all set up yet.
I hunt in SW Wisconsin, and I have a cabin in the UP of Michigan with 110 acres, along with several thousand acres of federal land next door. I’m a little superstitious so I don’t post many trail cam pics, but I typically have a shot at good bucks every year. Last year I hit a 120” 8point which I unfortunately did not recover due to a broad head malfunction, and am determined not to have that happen again. Ironically, a 150” deer came in 10 min later, which I passed on, thinking I had successfully harvested the first buck. Talk about testing my ethics! I also don’t have any meat in the freezer so pencil me in for doe kill for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums

Turkish checking in. I hunt public land in MN. Our season opens Sept 15, but I usually spend the first few weekends taking my kids out so I don' really get after it until Mid October. Starting to really get amped up for the season here and looking forward to this team taking 1st place

Early Special regs season comes in Sept 15 in PA. I planted a fall food plot on our private property almost two weeks ago. It seems to be taking off well with all of the rain we have received. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A question for the team is there any advice u can give a new bowhunter the they have the opportunity arise
I definitely will target a doe for meat and the 50 points as well. If you do the math on previous years' contest winners it's something like if everyone on a team averaged 150 points they would destroy the winning team year to year. That's only a doe and a 100 incher. Not saying that shooting 100" deer should be everyone's goal but just pointing out the math. Personally I am targeting 130+/4yo deer in WI (private); anything over 120 on public in MI/IN....if I make it to KY then nothing under 130/4yo. Not judging anyone who would take a younger/smaller deer but I have enough racks in the basket to wait out Mr. Big. In 25+years of bowhunting I have yet to recover a P&Y class buck. Lost a couple, but not recovered. I'm due; and patient.
Anyone think of a good name what about The Deer Catchers Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I've never had the opportunity to draw back on a deer Looking for advice to calm nerves, and be able to pull bow back and make the shot
