RE: 4- Team Official Thread
Hi All, just checking in. I think this is my second post under this new screen name. I use to be by23856, but got tired of all the numbers, so I adopted this new screen name that describes my other passion outside of bowhunting- beekeeping. I have five hives and have already made a tidy little profit from honey sales this year.
But you guys are more interested in my bowhunting chances, so I have attached a pic of my two bucks from last year, that I got the same day on November 5th. I live just south of Omaha on an acreage, and shot both of these guys not far from my house. I don't have any trail cams, so I have no pictures of this year's bucks, but this is typical of the older bucks in my area, if I am patient enough to wait for them to come out during the rut. I never saw either of these guys until the day I shot them, despite spending countless hours in my stands through September and October.
I'm originally from PA, in Harrisburg and Huntingdon areas, whichare basically inthe South Central parts of state, and I'll be back in Huntingdon County this year for the opening day of rifle season to hunt with my dad and uncle. I am 40 years old, spent four years in the Marine Corps from '84-'88, got out and went to college, graduating from Penn State in '94 with a degree as a Landscape Architecture, moved to Norfolk VA for three years and then my wife got a job with the National Park Service and that brought us out to Omaha, NE.
I'm looking forward to a great season and getting to know you guys better. Good Luck and stay safe.
Jason, those are some dandy bucks. I never saw bucks that big while I was growing up in PA. Good luck on them.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.

Don't count on him getting close to any of them though folks! You'll be just as disapointed as we were. The pain goes away but the scars stay forever. LOL!

doesnt anyone have any confidence in us lol.
I was out and did some scouting the past 2 nights. Last night i saw a nice 8pt and a beautiful 7pt that would probably score 120 or so he has a nice crab claw on the end and beautiful curves on the end of his rack. I also saw a few does. Tonight i saw 7 does. I'm starting to get a pattern on the deer i'm gona keep after em hard. I'd like to score early!
