Hey crew. Canuck2/Jack (yes, another one) checking in. Our season started here September 1 and I'm thrilled with the result already. I've had my granddaughter shooting a .243 all summer and she was more than eager to start hunting. Took her out the other evening and, cool as a cucumber, she shot this nice buck - her first - at 110 yards. She was so pleased and Grandpa wasn't far behind. Now, to see what I can do to live up to this fine start to the season.

Congrats to your granddaughter, and you as well Jack! That is a fine looking buck.

I'm Chris, and I live and hunt in Oklahoma. Oct. 1st starts our archery season, and I've got 2 full weeks off this season so hopefully I'll be able to spend a lot of time in the stand. :clap:

I'm glad to see we've got a couple of team members that get to start their season in September. No pressure guys.:)

Good luck to everyone.

Hello fellow assassins.:)

Got back from my little trip a couple days ago. I'm afraid I didn't connect on anything good to eat, but had a great time. My son had arrowed a nice 4x4 elk at the beginning of the month and I got in at the end of early archery season and the beginning of rifle season.

First adventure was rowing across a river in pitch black before dawn. We were paddling along quite nicely and BAM! Hit a big embedded stump in the middle of the river channel. Since we weren't sinking, we continued on and got to our designated beaching point. Then it was off to the particular meadow where my son had got his elk and had been watching more in the same area pending my arrival. As it turned out, first morning of the gun season was my best opportunity. We split up in the dark and accessed opposite ends of the meadow. As light gathered, he had elk within 50 yards of him, which I couldn't see. But they were grazing toward me, so he didn't pressure them at all. Danged if a couple other guys didn't come up from the river, spot the herd, and nail a nice cow. They all ran off and I never even got a glimpse. After that, we couldn't find an elk.

So now I'm home and it's hot. I believe I'll be waiting for awhile before I do any whitetail hunting. Good luck to those of you with season openers just around the corner.
