Updates on bow so far??
« on: Sep 26, 2012, 09:54:24 PM »
Not a bowhunter yet, getting into it next year. Gearing up and seeing what we can do.

 BUT, still interested in what's happening in the woods and how you boys are doing. Stories, pics, whatever. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to know...

Been out three times so far and had 4 deer well within range. One nice 6 pointer which I took a shot at and missed. Could of had something to do with the fact I was half way up a tree in my climber and spotted him heading towards me on a run. Pulled the bow up before he could spot my movement and took the shot at 25 yards leaning around the tree. Shot over him and off he went. I should practice that shot.  :-\   Scared the dickens out of him cuz he blatted 10-12 times as he ran off towards the bedding area and blew up my ambush. I let the spot cool off for week now and I'll see if I can stick'm come Saturday morning!!!

Had a nice doe with two yearlings under one of my ladder stands but I won't shoot a doe with young ones. Besides she busted me anyways hanging the bow back up.....she's a good momma!!!

haha ok just wanted to make sure you didn't miss those threads  :)

good idea getting people to talk about their season so far.  hopefully more chime in.

i've been out 12 times so far.  i had three does and a skipper come in opening day evening but i wasn't comfortable w/ any of the shots.  there were three does hanging around the 6 pointer i took.  and i had a small doe at 45 yards wednesday evening.  nine deer so far.  also, two coyotes  >:( >:( >:(

headed to NJ tomorrow morning for five solid days of hunting.  time to fill the freezer  :D

I have only gotten out 5 times have seen the same doe 3 times had her at 6 yards with no clean shot oppurtunity the next night had her at 20 yards but my arrow hit some hemlock on the way to her she ran ten yards and kept feeding, she ended up coming back the following weekend with no shot. I also have seen some real nice long beards with no shot. Moving another stand in an area I have been seeing alot of deer with a couple bucks moved in. wont be hunting until sat evening.

good luck in Jersey deerme

11 hunts for me so far. 8 does, 4 fawns, 5 bucks ( nothing bigger than a small 6 pt. ), 3 grey fox, 2 fisher, 23 turkeys with 3 nice Toms. Shot a funny racked 3 point the other day. Don't need him in the gene pool ;D.

definitely not much to update been out 6 times and have not seen a deer while on stand yet. Going to have to maybe move a few stands around soon. Haven't been as much as I usually go still bass fishing alot but hanging rods up got one last tourney on Wednesday and that will be it then hitting woods hard and pumped for pheasant opening in am. Just wish it wasn't the way it is few birds many  hunters.
