Re: Anyone done any scouting? [ QUOTE ] I have been doing a lot of scouting this year. I have a lot of deer activity, but right now the deer are nocturnal. Has anyone else done some scouting? [/ QUOTE ] I'm guessing either you did too much scouting, didn't watch your scent when you were doing it, or it's been real hot where you are. I finished my scouting two weeks ago. Have another 5 days til opening day. i's are dotted, t's are crossed. gametime now.

Re: No Muzzy Moment bummer. have to do better on the deer next week.

Re: archery items F/S will consider trades for or toward any of the following: trail cam copper john C.U.P. Mathews quiver

I have the following kicking around and I need some extra cash. Prices include shipping in the lower 48. Payment with paypal preferred. PM with any questions. thanks. trophy taker shaky hunter short bar right-handed black. Used for one season, nothing wrong with it. I glued buckskin to the prongs and the arrow holder and it's dead silent. Have the original card with mounting instructions and the extra stretchy cord. I'll even stick on a new piece of double sided adhesive to the arrow guide before shipping out. I'd like to get $50 for this. TRU Ball buckle strap. it's hardwoods green fleece with the leather strap attached. I had this on a TRU Ball Tornado, but it will fit any model with the same attachment style. I think the copperhead would fit as well. I'd like $12 for this. Stealth Archery 4" stabilizer. This is practically brand new. Shot very little. I believe it's 8 ounces. It's Hardwoods HD and matches Mathews bows. I'll take $45 for this. Cabelas pocket archery scale to measure your draw weight. Not a mark on it. Goes up to 90# and includes the canvas sheath. $25 for this.

Re: Who in the world.... maybe you should wear one of them camo tuxedos. With any luck you'll get kicked out of the wedding and can go home and get ready for the hunt.

Re: Opinions Please save your shoulder and get the climbing sticks. You can get the hunter's view model for pretty cheap. Have heard good things about the Summit one though. I personally have a Hunter's View and a NorthStar set of sticks.

Re: Anyone bought the Dream Season suit? We'll see. It has hoods over the ear holes.

Re: how long When I go into my hunting areas before the season I try to time it so a rain will be coming shortly thereafter to try to wash away some of my scent. There area a lot of variables that could affect how the deer will react.

Re: Big Bass Nine, Bad Leg that's not good. sooner or later a yote could catch up to him.

Re: Anyone bought the Dream Season suit? VT, they do sell it in Realtree Hardwoods HD, not the Green pattern though. I just picked up a scentblocker mask in Hardwoods HD and like it quite a bit. It has the ear holes so you can still hear well.

Re: Walking World Record and more Virginia monsters Reading the awesome antlers posts about this supposedly someone has video of the deer and the photo was taken by a cell phone, of the video being played on a TV. Besides this deer some of the other monsters those kids have in the pictures are amazing.

Re: How do I sharpen the G5 Montec? I used a Gerber diamond stone last year. It took a little time but I got them pretty sharp.

Not sure if this has been posted here yet or not. Just saw it on archerytalk. This is a buck seen this summer in Virginia. Check out some of the photos these kids are posting of their dad and grandad's deer. All I can say is unbelievable. big Virginia bucks

Re: Anyone bought the Dream Season suit? how much do you guys spend on a good hunting jacket? I didn't think $140 was that bad for a jacket.

Re: early season bowhunting, and mosquito I heard something about that on the radion on the way home this afternoon. Btw, welcome to the site fellow mainer.

Re: No till food plots? I knew going in I'd have to supply a little elbow grease during this process, but let me tell you, for a 10yd x 15yd plot, it took a LOT of elbow grease. There were old branches, rocks, all kinds of stuff to deal with during the loosening of the soil process. One of those tiller attachments for your weed eater would really help I think and I'll be using one next year. not to mention using the weed eater to knock down the weeds before spraying herbicide would help. I used a pruner to cut down the big weeds. If I had a 4 wheeler it'd be no big deal to get the stuff out there, but unfortunately I do not so everything was carried out about 300 yards on foot, tools, buckets, seed, lime bags, fertilizer bags. In the July sun I lost some weight getting this thing planted. Hopefully it will pay off. Anyone who does this will find out the no plow plots are not an easy way out, but more work than if you had a tractor and the tools to plant it the normal way.

Re: No till food plots? I experiemented with one of these this year. I used the Quaker Boy stuff called Whitetail Management System No-Till QUICK PLOT. I had a somewhat secluded spot on a pipeline I wanted to plant it. I ended up planting two spots relatively close to each other. One had more sandy soil, the other nice rich dark soil. The sandy soil did not do too well. The other side did pretty good. Here's the process I used: June 26 - selected location - trimmed back tall weeds and cleared them out, applied first treatment of herbicide July 2 - applied 2nd treatment of herbicide July 13 - cleared dead vegetation, loosened soil best I could with a steel rake, applied lime - raked in, applied 10-10-10 and plot seed - raked in pray for rain July 31 - after a couple weeks growth, plants coming up August 20 - after about 5 weeks groth, plants about a foot tall, trimmed back the tall grasses to get more light on the clover. I plan to hunt the plot on Sept. 10 or 12th. Hopefully the deer will be liking it. There have been a few tracks around it, but they don't appear to be hitting it real good yet. We'll see how long it lasts in this cold climate come October.

Re: HUGE CANADIAN WHITETAIL! that's a beauty

Re: New pics I've got 2 of the el cheapo stealth cams. they do the trick. maybe I'll get a digital in another year or two.

Got these in one of my early archery season spots. 28 pictures in 2 weeks, not too bad. Most of them were of a basket racked 8 pointer and a fat doe with her two fawns.

Re: VanZant and Me! very cool man. I've met Johnny Van Zant and some other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Love Donnie's music as well. Did he sing any songs off the new Van Zant CD during the show or just 38 special tunes?
