    Good luck! I was deployed to Florida to work 3 weeks and will be back October 8th. I'm thinking about heading up Ohio for a rut hunt early November with a buddy.

    These 3 bucks still hanging around. One is a big body mature buck that probably won’t score that well. The one we probably have the most history with, intel on also happens to be the biggest buck we have on camera this season. The other high and tight will probably get a pass - but you never know...

    I didn't know if this helps or not but it may for me lol I always forget something

    Rules for entry:

    1. All deer entered into this contest must be harvested legally within the laws and regulations of the state or province in which it was harvested. This contest is only for fun so please, don't break the law.

    2. All deer entered into this contest must be harvested with archery equipment only. After all, this is Bowhunting.com. This includes compound bows, traditional equipment, or crossbows. This also means you can't shoot a deer with a gun and enter it into this contest.

    3. All entries must be accompanied by a minimum of TWO (2) photos of the hunter with the deer and your archery equipment in the picture. If you can manage to take one picture, you can also manage to move 4 feet to the side and take another one. It's not that hard. There will be NO exceptions to this rule. Two photos with hunter, deer, and bow in photo or it won't count. If you submit a deer without two photos, it will not count. Consider this your warning. This goes for both does as well as bucks.

    3a. If you harvest the deer on film and can provide footage of you shooting the animal along with post-recovery footage including hunting, animal, and bow, that will suffice in place of two photos. Footage must be posted online for everyone to see.

    4. Along with your photo (or video) you must post the date and time in which the deer was shot.


    5. If possible, provide a list of the following information along with your harvest photos. We want to know what kind of gear everyone is using. This is optional. If you don't list your equipment, your deer will still count.
    Bow Make/Model
    Broadhead Make/Model/Weight
    Arrow Make/Model
    Rest Make/Model

    Opening morning tomorrow and I will be in the stand.

    My position on AM October hunts has changed quite a bit over the years. I think I’m probably doing more harm than good.

    My desire to be on stand, watch the woods come alive and hunt the most magnificent animal on the planet hasn’t changed much - so screw whatever harm I might do.

    Nice! Congrats, Govtrapper! Can't wait to see pics.
    I went out for a couple of hours yesterday evening. Had 4 does at 40 yards.

    Congrats GOV! I've yet to go out. My hunting group has a booth set up at a local fair this weekend. Did end up getting a new bow though! Wheeled and sealed and sold my Matthews MQ1 and got a Matthews Missions Endeavor. Needless to say I will be practicing a lot this coming week!
