Don't give up. I've been bow hunting for over 20 years. I learn something new every year that makes me a better hunter. I went years before I killed, what I believe is a respectable buck. This is not an "easy" sport. When you hunt large areas with a weapon that, on average, covers 30 yds in any direction it takes an incredible amount of patience and self drive. Keep at it. You'll be just fine.
My hopes are fairly low...but I definitely can't shoot a smaller buck now, not until after shotgun season when I have 2 tags.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I had that buck yesterday at my in-laws. Came to the food plot, ate a few bites of oats, then just went on his merry way. There was even a doe in the plot also. Paid her no attention.
Something wierd is happening. A guy i know was spotting deer last night and seen several bachelor groups of bucks feeding in different locations. No does to be seen. He thought they were just G#Y! Jeff. Dont give up find a green field tonight and hunt it. Just sit on the ground. Dont worry sbout taking blinds or stands. Never quit til its over on the last day.
Well gentlemen, that's a wrap for me. I have to go pick up my son at work at 3:30. I'm in my car flipped off the woods as I drove away! Can't wait to start game planning in my head now for next year, good luck to everyone the rest of today! Thanks for keeping my head in the game past two days LOL! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You ever decide to try Northeast Missouri let me know I can hook you up with a camper and I know a guy that knows the public land pretty well... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You bring the camper. I am a guy that has some ground in NE Missouri and that is close to some real good public land that used to hunt
I think a big problem with this year is the browse. So much greenery everywhere its as bad as having standing corn during the rut. And if you buy into Charles Alsheimers moon theory, Monday is his "rutting moon" and the 2 weeks following us the peak rut.
I've always wondered about this. I'm playing his theory this year. Last week was slow around here and I'm on call Thanksgiving week so I took this coming week off. We shall see.
