    Question submitted for clarity.

    I've heard yes, but I want to be 100% certain.

    Not really sure why it would matter being the firearm permit must be used anyway. I'll probably have to pay a clarification tax knowing this state :lol:

    Sorry guys, that south wind kept my hands in my pockets with hand warmers, so I didn't mess with the phone too much. I saw two yearling doe around 4:15PM, that I think are the offspring of the doe (had suckles) I shot on Tue. They walked in front of me at 10yrds, so I got some really cool video. I'll be doing an evening hunt tomorrow. These were good size yearlings, might they come into estrus a little later and bring a buck in?

    If you’re going to go hunt again I would
    Don’t want to be out there with only an antler less tag
    That’s a sure way for another shooter buck to come by

    I got hung up in the stand for a while by the most annoying spike buck ever. After a good 20 minute after dark waiting game, I threw my hand warmer at him, hit a limb that caused it to fall short and him to come closer. He got a good education about that tree and the thing up in it after that. Aside from that and the biggest skunk I have ever seen, no shooter bucks. Gotta work till 330 tomorrow then back at it.

    Ok guys I’ll admit I’m not a great hunter when it comes to big tracks of land usually have hunted small parcels and have lost access to them this year and also not seeing much on my other properties.
    I am looking to go into this property tomorrow and Saturday and trying to figure where I should set up

    Head to the family farm this morning hoping for some voodoo magic to happen! Boom sticks start tomorrow and it needs to happen today for me.

    I resorted to getting out the deer doll and sticking it with pincushions last night in hopes of bringing myself some better luck!

    Going to be hunting out of the new box blind we built that overlooks narrow cornfield funnel!

    Come on lucky magic touch me today!
