mmac4-4 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 How many of you guys kill first week if bow? And if you don't do u hold off then past the October lull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Depends on what opportunities for shots are offered the 1st week of bowseason. Sometimes I have killed deer the 1st week & somethimes I haven't. More often than not though the deer I've killed during the 1st week were does but I have killed a few mature bucks during the 1st week too. Do I hold off till past the October lull? HECK NO! I'm still going to be out there hunting for a shot opportunity. An old buddy of mine has a saying..."you must be present to win". With that said, I'm more apt to skip morning hunts during the October lull. There will probably be some stands I won't hunt till the rut too.

fly Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I try to kill on the first week as I try to take 3-4 deer each year. Two buck limit in IL so the first doesn't have to be a 150 inch, but generally the second one does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have several people who request deer each year so arrows fly early when the opportunity is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 That's why Im out there man...this year it's a buck only deal, so does are off limits. Otherwise first sit and we'er fillin tags with whatever gives us a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abear491 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have killed the first week or two a couple of times. Only reason I wouldn't be out there if its like 100 degrees. Like said on the above post must be present to win. I have never killed a buck early, but not for the lack of trying. I try to get the monkey off my back quick with some good tasting doe backstraps!

wtnhunt Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Archery season opens here in 4 weeks. Honestly not had great luck in September or October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
