Went out scouting with a friend today on some public neither of us had been on. This is some of the things we found. Some fresh rubs. Sent from my XT1650 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Nice man, that is some promising sign. Hopefully it's from a big one. Shawn Excalibur Phoenix Carbon Express 380 grains Rage Hypodermic 125 grains 2017 Team 3 Shed Hunting 2017 Team 6 Turkey Hunting 2017 Team 5 Deer Hunting
And then this. Not sure if it is a natural mineral site or an abandoned site from years ago. Check out the rubs on both sides of it. Will probably put a camera on it next year. Sent from my XT1650 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
That site was active this year because there aren't any leaves in it. Hopefully the creator has moved out of there.
I know it is still being used, but think it may have been started years ago and then abandoned since there isn't any sign of human activity in there. Either way there is a ton of sign so I will be hunting in that area this fall, just not right at the site. Sent from my XT1650 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Well guys I am beat. I have been non stop today down here at the farm. I checked all 7 trail cams. After that I overseeded some of the bare spots in our two main food plots. I used biologic hotspot for that. I checked shooting lanes & straps for most of our stands and also put up a new tripod stand on the edge of the plot I will be planting tomorrow. And to finish the day I brushed in a new ground blind. But probably the thing I am most excited about is the page I took out of Mark Drurys playbook. I found a good sappling and cut it down so I could put in my very own treecoy! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app

Took my boys to Bass Pro today. My dad wanted to make sure they were outfitted for the season. Now I just need PSE to hurry and fix or replace my crossbow for them. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Well just got back home. I was able to get my last food plot planted this morning. I will post some trail cam pics tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
In between using a backhoe to re slope the drive way out of my pole barn and attached garage to keep water from running in, I also got half of my planned food plot in, I have a nice spot about 100 yards long by 25 wide I still need to till and plant. I tilled with a small 3 point tiller on the back of my tractor and drug a toddler bed frame over it to cover the seed. plan on trimming my shooting lanes tonight to see which tree im going to move my stand to. It's only 6.5 acres but they move all over the place and have 3 trails going in and out.
Set my first stand at the water hole today. Not as many pics there as I had last time. I haven't checked the card to see what's on it yet. My second spot seems better than expected. For some reason I am starting to like the sceond spot better. We scouted another chunk of the 10000 acre tract that I haven't been to. it was a bust. Too much mountain laurel. At least I can eliminate that area. I'll post pics if I have any good bucks. Ended up walking 16 miles total.
Just picked these up today. Im ready and waiting guys. Going to check cams tomorrow. Shawn Excalibur Phoenix Carbon Express 380 grains Rage Hypodermic 125 grains 2017 Team 3 Shed Hunting 2017 Team 6 Turkey Hunting 2017 Team 5 Deer Hunting
I am trying a new broadhead this year. For the past 3 or 4 years I have been a Rage guy. More specifically a Rage Chisel Tip user. But this year I am trying these. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
