A few more from another food plot. Big Bird These guys had to come a long ways from the nearest house to get there.:evil: More Slickheads.
Ok team, no more worries. I just got inside from shooting a dozen arrows. I felt some pressure and a little discomfort when drawing my bow. But I am sure when a deer walks out and the adredaline kicks in I won't feel a thing.
Good to hear, John... not about the contest, but just that you're getting better in general. It'll also be good to know that you won't have to draw but once -- after the adrenaline has kicked in to boot.
I'll be hunting Monday in MO. Not sure if I'll be taking the day off and hunt both morning and evening or work and just hunt the evening. I will make a decision tomorrow after I see how much rain IKE dumps on us and how fast he leaves.
I have decided to wait till tomorrow afternoon to start my MO season. I just don't feel like trying to cross a couple of small creeks in the dark tomorrow morning after 4 inches of rain today. I will feel much better waiting till after work when I will be able to see how deep the water is. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.
I'll be going out mid-moring in an attempt to catch some does one of my co-workers has told me loaf through his back yard frequently. I've got two requests for deer meat already... Add that to my requirement of five, and it's gonna be a busy year! :D
I'm waiting for the 27th too. I got on the new land in east Tx and I'm excited about it. I'll hunt west Tx first though. I like this ability to choose where I'll hunt. I've never had that option before.
No sightings this morning, but halfway didn't expect to anyway. My co-worker hadn't been seeing the group come through lately, but I just wanted to sit in a tree on opening day. Beautiful scenery and the temps were freakin' AWESOME!!!!
Well I watched one of the big guys tonight at dusk he amples out about 7:50pm. Since I seen him last, he has gone from velvet to hard horn. Man how that make's em shrink lol, he'll still go a cautious mid 130's though. But next year..... <cough cough>... he'll look the same, cuz, if he comes by me this year, he'll be mounted on my wall next year!
Well guys my opening day hunt this evening didn't quite go as planned. I was sitting in my stand in the neighborhood and about 5:30 I hear a loud crashing noise come from where I am hopeing the deer are bedded. I turn to look that direction and see 2 deer running my direction. They flew thru my shooting lane airborn going 9,000 miles per hour. A minute later a black lab comes sniffing down their trail. Needless to say I was pissed :evil:. That was the only action I had tonight.
Gonna be heading out again tonight, and this time to a real hunting spot and not someone's back yard, LOL. I will be walking in blind though as I haven't done any pre-season scouting. Just my Lone Wolf Alpha Hand Climber, my BowTech and me looking for some hot sign... hopefully I can put up 50 points on the board soon.
Yep, does are woth 50 points. I don't know much about his rack. But if it's anything like his body, I have a STUD running around my property. Got this pic off my cam tonight. Now I really can't wait till Oct.1st.
Crap. I pulled up to the refuge I was going to hunt, and halfway back I ran into the backwaters of the Misissippi... Had no idea that thing was that high again. I was just across the bridge into Southern Illinois a few days ago, so it must have rose like crazy in the last couple days.
Greg, the IL River crested at a new record high near my house. I would assume the Mississippi is rising dramatically with the bombardment of rain we have gotten.
