    going to go make my first attempt at a food plot tomorrow morning - hopefully it takes

    Kinda small and secluded and going to try and save it for a rut stand

    Also painted another 15ft ladder yesterday afternoon - going Sunday up to another 40 acres and trying to find it a home

    So we officially freak daddies - now we just need to put a few in the dirt

    I'm checking a camera in my honeyhole tomorrow am. Plan on bringing the wasp spray to nuke those little suckers, then move the stand to a funnel area. Hope this is the killing stand.

    Yep glad you mentioned that need to pick-up some bug spray- I am ready getting antsy to be in the woods - hopefully your cam has something good on it

    Me and Isaac prepped 3 of our double setups yesterday. We will be putting them out in the next couple weeks. Expect many pictures when i hang them. I will be checking the cameras either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on how much time i have.

    BTW, love the name :D

    Oh sweet cabbage. If you don't drop one of those pigs, you are dead to me.;):D

    That is a stud. Good luck bud, hope you drill him.

    So boys, what your pledge for this year?

    Im almost positive i can get a doe (50 Points),

    and,

    If i shoot a buck, its going to be at least 120", hopefully bigger if i can play my cards right. Im not aiming for anything under that mark, unless its an 80" one sided 3.5 year old ;)

    Its not entirely impossible for me to put over 200 points on the board this year either :D

    well kinda of a perplexing weekend - checked the spots I have 3 ladders - sign is almost nonexistent - but back in May all three spots loaded with tracks and poo now nada - they have planted corn in the bordering fields and thinking maybe they are bedding in the corn

    Check other areas no acorns - not sure what what the deer will be consuming for food - the gun hntung club bordering us slaughtered them last year 40 plus does and 30 something bucks - back to the drawing board

    Check 40 acres today - no acorns and difficult terrain to hunt - but staying optimistic and didn't get the ladder up - made the trip but forgot the support bar - brainiac move number one of the season

    I say we use the pic for our avatars - killer photo

    And for good luck, i changed my avatar to my only archery buck for the first time since i can remember. This is the year to end my streak and get it done, i can feel it! And i have always said that confidence is everything in the deer woods.

    Definitely the right attitude to have - I am a little discouraged due to lack of overall sign - but still optimistic will make the necessary adjustments and have a great season

    I'm as close to certain as someone can be that I'll put a doe down. Since I do not have any bigger bucks on the cam from the private land I hunt, I'm going to have to get one on public land. So I say I can get 125-150 total for the team.

    I don't have a doe tag as they are not being offered in my zone this year. :mad:

    My archery tag will be good for buck OR doe but I am certianly not ending my hunting season by killing a doe unless it is towards the end of it.

    Realistically I am hoping to bag a 120+ buck. But there are some bigger ones around.

    I can definitely add 50 and potential for a buck that scores 100-115

    I hope to add 190-200pts, 50 for the doe and hopefully 140+ for the buck. The buck all depends on my work schedule. I'm a contractor and work has been very slow so if the work is coming in hunting may have to wait. My plan is to take off Nov 9-12.

    Well back to the drawing board this Sunday - heading back down, going to check 1/2 dozen spots I located on an aerial last night - hopefully some good sign - 3 of em look like ideal funnels - see how it looks and go from there

    Bow is drilling tacks out to 40 - extremely confident in sealing the deal - just have to determine new patterns

    23 days and counting
