Well team, I just completed my WORST bow season ever! Missed 7 deer total, 2 nice bucks. I was out for the gun opener last Saturday, and as luck would have it, 2 bucks squared off at first light about 30 yds from my stand. Eventually, I got a shot at one and connected! Big body, small rack, but 10 more points for the team!

Looks like the team's fortunes are turning around some. Contest aside, things look a bit brighter heading into the holidays. As I have enough meat for the year, I'm a bit more selective about going afield. Looking like Monday (all day) and Wednesday afternoon hunts are in order for next week.

All my misses were 10 - 15 yds. We have a late 1-week archery/ML season coming up in a couple of weeks, so for now, just trying to fill 5 doe tags.

Well team, I have a job interview set for Tuesday. When they contacted me they said there was a full-time position open as well and would I be interested - of course!

Tomorrow I'm going to hunt a hedge row that runs out into a cut corn field. There is a brea in the hedge row, and the next hedge row divides the corn field and a cut soy bean field. I know from scouting that there is abundent mast - I think beechnut and red oak, in the second row. My plan is to sit the first couple of hours, scout hunt, then put up a tree stand for evening late season hunts. Still trying to fill doe tags!

Congrats on the doe Shawn! Still trying to bag one more doe for the freezer myself... Hey team, I just checked the score card - Dosse's 9-pointer has not been posted. All things being equal, once it is posted that would put our team in a tie for the lead - hopefully with more entires to come... BTW my interview yesterday went as well as an interview could go. I was well prepared, answered all of their questions with evidence-supported responses, and felt the culture was a good match. I sent my thank-you letter last night. Now it is just a waiting game while they interview 1 more candidate. Thinking of going hunting tomorrow to relieve some of the stress. :)
