I'm already hunting. Our season kicked off in the 15th. It's earn a buck until Oct 1st so a doe will go down first. The shooter list isn't as impressive as years past, but I have a few that are old enough to tighten the string on.

I went out in the 15th and had a nice 120's 3.5 year old come in along with 6 does. He's not old enough to make the hit list, but it was nice to see him up close. The does stayed out with the exception of one who came to 38 yards. Normally I'm comfortable with that shot, but it was so still I was concerned about her jumping the string so I passed. This weekend should be good so hopefully I have some good news to report back with.

Hey Everyone, I am sitting in a stand in Kentucky as I write this. This is night 4 for me down here and the Bucks have not been cooperating. I did pass on a 125" 8 point on Wednesday night at 13 yards - he just wasn't what I was looking in for. Tomorrow night is my last night here then back to New York where our season opens on 10/1. I will be back here in Kentucky in November so if I don't fill my tag this week I will have another shot at it. Good Luck everyone.

Hey everyone! Good luck to all of ya's. I *NEED* to finish my stand this weekend. So much stuff has been going on with the baby arriving on the 4th, just haven't finished it. Main frame is up but I need to finish the deck of it and get it up. BIG 8 pointer hanging around, we'll see if he co-operates! We open Oct 1st for archery.

Good luck Pat and all of team 4. You too Al. I'm back in that special draw area I took the 12 from last season. Starts in a few weeks. I scouted yesterday and saw a nice 10 point. Got a picture of him posted in team 2. Nothing like Al's deer, but I have a few shooters around my base area as well. - Frank

Congratulations on the doe Pat.

Looks like unless we get one more to play that I will be your teammate this season, if for some reason we get one more I will let them take my place here.

Things here weather wise are not looking great for our opener this weekend with a warm and wet forecast, but all the corn around us is coming out right now so that could get things stirred up and I plan on being in the stand Saturday unless it is a monsoon.

Will be my first year hunting with a crossbow. We have a decent 9 that I know I would stick an arrow in with the crossbow given the opportunity.

Light drizzle this morning, expected deer might move, but guess the warm temps with 67 at 6 am probably did not help. Was pretty quiet and not much going on, did have a spike and a doe come through inside 30 yards about 7:50 am. Probably hunt the same stand this afternoon, good wind for that one unless something changes.

The wind should get right for about the next week for me. I've tried to post the doe, but still not sure if the pics are showing up. We held off hunting this past weekend due to the wind being iffy. Dad and I both have earned our buck tag so it's time to settle in hunting our shooters. I've sent dad in twice after them to no avail. I will probably take a crack at some point in the next week or so. We are getting a front moving in tomorrow so fingers are crossed.

I did almost have a big screw up prior to shooting my doe. I hunted a stand where we didn't think our bucks would be to kill my doe. Little did I know that one of our 10's walked in front of the camera during shooting light the night before. Just goes to show how they can show up when and where you least expect it.

There may be a glitch in loading photos in RT's photo site. When I loaded the pics for my EHD thread, I loaded the pics, got a strange thumbnail come up instead of the pic, then using edit I reloaded the pic...then the pic loaded. I had to do that for each of the 3 pics I loaded to post in that thread.

Wouldn't even let me load the pics. Got an error, had to upload the to photobucket, which has isses too. Clint is working on some of this stuff, the who's online feature is one thing that is kinda sorta working again.
