    Bow season is open! One shot with a old fashioned muzzy 3 blade and one with a field point 60 yards. Those muzzy ones made my arrow about twice as loud in flight so that’s not gona work. Couldn’t believe how well the old muzzys flew never had em hit like that. It’s gona be a good year I think. Got my bad luck out of the way falling out the tree lol

    Oh ****, that would spook me a bit. Mainly because you can’t tell how big he is, but he’s not small..

    He's a big dude. Hopefully I get a pic of his head when I check next week. I missed my chance at a OK bear tag (stupid law we have where you have to buy it before bow season starts, even though I have a lifetime License). If he's still around during ML season I'll grab one of those tags.

    Looks like Saturday morning will be the first time I get in a stand. I'll have my little mini killer in the stand with me. He'll be trying to get his first deer with a bow. Anything is fair game for him.

    Just got a text from the neighbor on the other side from where that double droptine was photographed that he was seen in the afternoon shortly before sundown. The neighbor was out tending sheep and had him at about 50 yards for several seconds. He's a rifle hunter though and wished me luck!

    Headed out tomorrow night and possibly Friday morning for a hunt. My goal is to take my time, get set up smoothly, and enjoy the colder weather. And if the Lord sends a deer my way, that’ll be cool too!

    It’s finally starting to cool off a little here. Monday is the big cool day. I could go sit and shoot a doe at any time. I’m debating on staying out of my lease until the bucks show up. Last year was around October 20th. We’ll see how it goes when the front works all the way through.

    My buddy sent me these pics. I’ve been trying to get one for the last year or so. They are coming in daylight so hopefully Saturday morning is the day I get one.

    I seen one tonight, shoulda known better. I was planning on going into a thick oak stand and as I drove up I noticed they had picked half the corn field today. I almost went and tried to find a spot to set up in that. Instead I stuck to script and what I knew. There was a nice doe 100 yards from the truck when I came out of the woods and could still see in the open. Anyone have a climbing stand to sell me? Lol there are good trees everywhere where and I think I might be able to do that I hate being on the ground.
