    I have four, possibly, five, bucks that I would shoot on my lease this year, which is unheard of. This place usually doesn't hold more than 1 or 2 decent bucks each year. The only problem is finding time to get out there and hunt! My boys are keeping me busy with football on the weekends and as soon as that ends I head to Kansas for 10 days.

    My goal right now is to get out and plunk a doe on opening night in one of these food plots. Need to break the ice and get the season started on a high note!

    I have had a bit of a setback today, I decided to throw all my broadheads on arrows to practice with them just to make sure my confidence was high before the season started and literally all 6 them are hitting different spots. I shot probably 100 times today trying to figure it out and I had to scrap the idea of using them. I had one of them tuned to hit with the field points but this was the first time I had tried another one. At this point I had to go with what I’m confident with and the last mechanical I was using before I decided to go back to fix blades was the g5 dead meats and I never had an issue with them so I ordered 6 of the 125 grain mega meats. I’m losing 25 grains so a little tweaking will need done I’m sure but this close to season I have never had an issue like this before so I wanted to buy something I was confident in. I’m still gona be well over 500 grains pulling 76 lbs should blow through anything I can find to shoot at. Here’s hoping it goes as smooth as I remember mechanicals going lol never thought I would go back to them either

    Saw one hunter going through the woods at 5:00pm and saw no deer until I was leaving. Two doe were at the road ready to cross to where I was sitting. They went back the way they came when they saw me. I did see a red squirrel. Can't remember the last time I saw one, they're that rare where I hunt.

    Tonight was sort of a trial run to make sure things are right. I had to change my bow hanger to a different angle for better access, other than that things are good with my stand site. Looking forward to the rest of the season. :tu:
