Stinger-Hunter Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've been a member of this forum since the early 2000s. I took a few years off hunting with a bow and arrow. Frankly public land in Indiana got boring and the drive became too arduous and time consuming. I also worked basically 6-7 days per week for the past 5 years. However, the compulsion has returned. I was able to shotgun hunt the last 2 years and finally got another bow (Hoyt) and have been practicing 3-4 days per week. I have been super excited to get back to bow hunting and there is only 18 days left before I hide behind my secret tree 30 feet from a backroad where I know 4 or 5 does will cross the street and walk within 15 meters of me (at least on the first day). Been motivated for months and now I'm just getting plain antsy. Yay 2017!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger-Hunter Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Little Update: Working the public land hard. 5 weeks of hunting 2 days per week. I've seen a few, not a bunch, but a few. Had a chance at a little buck, but he was too small. Walk darn near up to me while I was climbing the stand. 10 meters away, facing toward me and didn't see me. Don't ask me how. Standing behind a tree, looked down for 10 seconds, looked up and there was a doe, less than 10 meters away from me. We gazed into each others eyes and then she took off. No way I could have pulled back on her. Learned a lot about this little parcel of public land and will be hunting next weekend on different public land, but I'll be back at #1 in December. Getting my groove back and remaining patient takes a bit of time. Loving it, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
