So, anyone hunting, yet? I know John scored on a GREAT antelope...congrats again John! Not much new here. Just shooting the bow, waiting for my last minute orders to come in, and waiting for the 3rd. Watched two forkies feeding today in the hay field. Certainly not shooters, but it's good to see some more bucks already than I was last year at this time.
Well, I had a cancellation for a bear hunt next week and had a tag left over.....So I snatched it up myself!!! I'll be heading out in about in hour to sit for the evening. Hopefully a big bruin comes in! Actually, anything over 225# will get a Muzzy through the lungs. I probably won't be deer hunting until I head to IL around October 8 or 10th. Until then, I'll have to live it through everyone else!
Good luck, Dan! I would LOVE to take a black bear with a bow. I may actually go out for PA's season this year with a bow instead. Little chance of it happening, but you never know.
Best of luck this evening Dan I was going to go try and get my game camera for my Oklahoma spot but had something come up. So I've been stuck at home all weekend. The wife has some friends coming in from out of town so hopefully I can sneak away next Sunday afternoon to see whats on my camera. Oct 3rd can't get here soon enough
Well guys i had NOT planned to hunt the first day of archery saeason (Oct 3rd) because its the wkend of my wedding annv (Oct5th) but my wife advised that she wanted to go to an Apple festival in Franklin,Pa. She said that she would be back to do whatever at around 1Pm. Looks like i will be out in the AM only. I'll take whatever i can get on opening day. We have plans to got to dinner and dancing for later that night, and a night out of town. :D Good Luck Dan, kill the big boar One of these days i'll get to go to a bear camp
Oh yea the 3D shoot was great time 42 Targets First day 414 out of 420 14 X's they dont count X's as 11's. i went today also, i had a great time with my Son Cj. He shot his new Bow pretty Well and i didn't shot as well 412 and 11X's 5th place out of 150 shooters on Day 1 not to bad!!!!!!!!!! Day2 unknown???????????? Great Practice!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a good bear in 20 minutes into the sit, but the bait was in the wrong spot in the logs and it ended up quartering to for 30 minutes. Then at 7 it or another the same size came in and did the same thing. I had time to shoot it before it turned, but I was filming myself and wanted to get the shot right on for the camera. Not a huge bear, probably 225# or so. Tomorrow's another day and hopefully it comes back in and I can get it on film.....would be good to show everyone. Congrats on the shoot MUD!!!!!
Finally got a little time to write a blog about my hunt. http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post...-a-great-thrown-in-just-for-good-measure.aspx It was a great time with some good friends and a neat trophy too. I'll be in my stand around home Tuesday night after work. More doe hunting than anything, but there are some nice bucks in the area for sure. Can't wait!! Good luck on that bear Dan.
Well I didn't get a chance to go get my game cam from Ok, so I'll try to get up there on Sunday. I'm really anxious to see whats on there. Great write up BTW John, I really enjoyed it. Glad you guys had a great time and congrats on the speedgoat
I got my first hunt under my belt tonight. I sat in my ground blind under an old oak tree that is in the middle of a soy bean field. I saw 2 does that made it within 60 yards of my set up. No shot opps.
Dan, you're certainly on the bears there. Keep at it, and I'm looking forward to the pics. John, again, big congrats on that fine antelope. I'm jealous you're back and hunting again already!:D You have an antelope down and one hunt under your belt back home, and I can't get out until the 3rd
I'm taking my son hunting next Saturday for VA's youth hunting day the the following weekend it's GAME ON!! I normally would be bowhunting in NC by nowbut I didn't want to drop the coin for a NC license yet since I haven't qualifed at the base I hunt in NC yet this season.
Got a few new targets showing up on my property. I can't wait for October 1st to get here so I can hunt my farm in IL. I've been out a couple of times in MO, but I can't hunt most of my better spots here any more. They are now subdivisions. I'll still get out and hope for the best.
Jim / my Captain do you have room for one MUDSHARK on your property!!!!!!! that one buck is real NICE congrats with any of them!!!!!!!! good luck
