Hey guy's our season opened today. I walked up on a 120 class 10 pt this morning, while going to move a stand. got within 35 yards but had no bow. I moved the stand to where I had been seeing a 140+ class buck but the only thing I saw was a coyote. I missed him. I put the wrong pin on him.

RE: 24- Team Hardwood Hunters Official Thread
 

why didnt you have a bow? we could already be on the board, im just kidding good luck on getting them

RE: 24- Team Hardwood Hunters Official Thread
 

Cougars,
I didn't take my bow because I was going to have my hands full packing the stand out. I had to carry it over 1/2 mile. Even then the only shot I had was a Texas heart shot. So it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Be patient we will do fine & get on the board soon.

Guys I just finished reading an awesome book by Don Higgins, titled "Hunting Trophy Whitetails in the Real World."

Don livesjust about 40 miles from me but although he hunts these same central Illinois bucks, his techniques should hold true throughout the country. This book opened my eyes to a whole new way of hunting and I can't wait to apply some of these "new" ideas this season. I highly suggest reading this book. It is a little on the expensive side, at $28 shipped, but well worth that many times over if it can get you to the next level in your hunting.

Check it out at http://www.higginsoutdoors.com/if you're interested.
Being so close, I really hope I can meet Don - he really seems like my kind of stand-up guy!

Hey Huck,

I think that duiker was your first buck right? So, Iamyourhuckleberry's contribution to the team is about 8"?

No big African bucks, ya hear?!

Sorry for intruding on your team's thread.
