I’m good with fletch being captain. My season started yesterday. Had one sit. Saw a doe and a couple fawns. Smaller bucks were out in field closer to dark. No real shooters. I was with family so couldn’t get out as much as I would have liked. Heading out next weekend with a buddy so hunting a little harder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have shoulder surgery September 27th so will be using a cross bow this year. we have a early doe season the week before surgery, I plan to shoot a doe with my bow that weekend! bear hunt is sept 15th through 23rd. Thats been my primary focus of late
Best of luck on your surgery and wishing you a quick and full recovery. I did have a lot of fun using the crossbow last year. I think I ended up with one buck and 8 does. I piled them up. lol. I hope to give the vertical bow a try this week and see what my pain tolerance is. CBD cream has been a real blessing for me and has allowed me to do a lot of things with little to no pain. Good luck on the bear hunt!
We are getting big bucks here is Mass on our IG PAGE. I have a couple monsters i hope to bring to the table.
I put up some suggestions for team name if you like one say so. We like fletch for captain. I like Magnificent Eleven. ( I think there's 11 of us?) Fletch you're a straight up killer!! Glad you're on my team
I live where big bucks circle the stand like flies. It's just point and shoot. That doesn't really make me captain material. I am happy to do it, but only if nobody else wants to wear the skipper cap. Honestly, no worries from me if someone else wants to do it. I saw that teams were drawn and that we did not have a thread yet, so I jumped in to get things rolling. Sadly, our area has been absolutely hammered by EHD this year. Maybe the worst outbreak ever. Killing a good one may be a bit of a challenge this year, but I will be giving it my best effort. One of the farmers I hunt on told me about two huge bucks he was watching along the edge of a hay field as he put up the first cutting. He called me when he was doing the second cutting and told me that I could forget chasing those two as they were both floating in the pond, dead. I am putting in a two acre Fall plot later today that should be in a great spot. I am still getting a few pictures of a couple mature bucks, so they can't all be dead. Sadly though, I have seen some real giants taken by this horrible disease. I also like Magnificent Eleven for a name but would be open to anything.
I'm good with fletch being captain and I like Magnificent Eleven. Anyone any good at making a logo? Or any ideas for what we would like?
EHD came through my part of NC about 4 years ago. It was terrible. This year I have more deer than I’ve ever had. Too bad nothing big . My biggest is prob 115” or so and the most mature I know about 4+ is only a 6 point, maybe 100”!or so. My other two places have shown. Thing this year either. I run cameras all year. I’m just excited to be on this team. I haven’t been on a team since back when all deer counted and even got bonus points for coyotes and such. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm good with magnificent 11 and fletch s captain. I've been running some spotlight counts where I hunt, seeing a lot of decent bucks but no giants. Gonna be out of state on a rifle hunt for a week after our season opens, and limiting myself to a longbow for bow season, its gonna be a fun and tough year! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I put in a 2 acre plot last evening. I planted a mix of purple top turnip, raddish, clover mix, dwarf rape and sugar beets. Now I just need some rain to get it started. There was good moisture in the soil so it wont take a lot. I should of had this done a few weeks ago, but just too busy. I guess I will cross my fingers for plenty of rain and warm weather this Fall.
I’m in KY so today was opening day... went to shoot my bow before my evening hunt and my peeps site came out and I couldn’t get it back in... so no hunt for me... oh well. I did pull my cards though and here is my number one hitlister... plus got to pick up last years deer from the taxidermist... Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
