One last chance for me.

Due to boot camp coming up on Sunday, today is going to be my last hunt of the year. After having horrible luck all of bowseason, I finally saw 2 small bucks, and one real nice buck yesturday on some public property. I'm about to head back out there and give it one more chance. I'd be happy with shooting a smaller deer, but I already decided I'm shooting that big buck, or no deer at all. Conditions are perfect this morning. 34 degrees, light frost, barely any moon, and the bucks are chasing! Hopefully I can connect today.

well, I hunted from sunrise til sunset today. That whole plan to not shoot anything but the big one came back to haunt me... Had a pretty respectable 7 pointer come in early this morning and gave me tons of oppurtunities to shoot him. Same time yesturday, that deer would've been dead for sure. But I decided to let him walk, even though he was within 20 yards, broadside for at least a few minutes. I just saw several does throughout the day and finally had a crack at a small 8 pointer around 4 this evening. I waited til it was almost too late to draw on em, then when I got him to stop the only thing between me and him was a tree, covering nothing but his vitals... he spooked and ran straight away. Saw a few more does and what I think was a bobcat(never seen one before, and they are very rare around here) between that time and sunset.

Tim good luck to ya. what your going to find out is that your going to become a better hunter since your going into the marines. the Army taught me patience and determination and it helped me a lot when i started bowhunting after the Army.

of course once you get to your permanent duty station, you can get back into bowhunting. many of the places you will be stationed at will provide areas to bowhunt.

good luck this season.

Tony
