Good luck and hunt safely Jim

I'm dialed in and ready to go fellas. Just shot a little more and im touching shafts at 30yards. Season can't get here soon enough. Out tonight to do a little more scouting before my beloved steelers game. Hope all is well.

I shot this evening also. And now I have to go get 3 of my arrows
re-fletched tomorrow:D. And that was shooting from 30 yards ...........

Tight groups baby tight groups.

Hey what do you guys think???

RE: 4- Team Official Thread
 

I had the OG out this evening, she is shooting sweet out to 50 yards, didn't want to step back any further as my arms were getting tired. I moved my game cam today as well (ended up stepping on a underground yellow jackets nest while doing so and got the back of my legs beat up pretty bad by those buggers).

I like the logo, kinda how I feel after some of these pa bruisers beat me up last year haha

Wow, summer has gone by fast. I've been super busy lately doing stuff for school. I put it all off during summer and now these last two weeks have been a pain....gotta get it all done by Monday. Once thats over with though, it should be smooth sailing.

Anyways, onto the good stuff:

My bow: Still work to be done...my broadheads are flying close to my field tips, but not close enough for me to be happy. I spent the other night spinning arrow broadhead combinations to get the best matches, so now that that is done, I can hopefully get it to work out. Then its just going to be continuing to practice to keep my muscles ready.

We put up a new cabin this summer on my grandpa's property so getting that up and going has taken a lot of time away from scouting. Its ok though, I still managed to get out and I have some pretty good ideas of places to hunt on the new land I acquired to hunt. My dad and I are actually heading out there tonight to set up stands and get them all primed for the opener. I think I've got a good idea of the trails they use between bedding and feeding, so hopefully I can catch them within range.

No recent scouting camera pics. I've been having some bad luck with it lately, very few pics. Hopefully there will be some on it when I check it tonight.

I can't wait for archery to get here! I even designed my schedule this year to give me more chances to hunt. I have dual enrolement, meaning I take both High School and College classes. College classes are Tues and Thurs morning from 8-1045, then High school is everyday 11-230. So on Mon, Wed, Fri I don't have to be at school until 11am...meaning I can hunt the mornings!! YAY! I've never had the oppurtunity to hunt mornings besides saturdays...so hopefully I will have some success there. Then again after school I can hunt on the days I don't have to work. I plan on spending a lot of time out in the woods this fall. Should be a great time...like always:D

Well I think I've rambled enough....back to the school work.

Back from camp...lots of good news. We got two stands set up....still have 1-2 more to do, but we hope to get them set up soon. I was really excited about...then I check the camera which is set up about 20yds from the stand. I got pics ofthe one buck I've been getting pics of all summer. He's lost his velvet now...looking good!

Then walking back out of the woods I saw a doe with twins who are out in the corn/soybeans almost nightly.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

RE: 4- Team Official Thread
 

He's not huge by any means...but he's legal...and he'd be my biggest....so I would absolutely love the chance at him this fall!

I'm getting waaay too excited. This month is entirely too long. Last weekend we(me& hazcon7)hung two stands and placed a trail camera and picked out a couple of spots for a ground blind for my 10 year old's first hunt (gun hunt, oct.7 youth firearm also happens to be his birthday).
I spent the weekend before last at his hunter safety school. I can't wait for opening day, but frankly I'm more pumped about the boy's hunt. I took him on a couple of hunts last year as an observer, and it was fun, but this year he's the shooter and this location is waaaaaaay better than anywhere I took him last year.
I'm still wrestling with where to hunt opening day. Me and hazcon7 have hunted the same location on opening day for several years, and at least one of us has scored on opening day for the last 5 or so years. It's public land, and the action is only really good on opening day, and during the rut (because of the pressure). But the our other spot holds more mature bucks....like 160"+ conservatively.
Big antlers are nice, but my freezer is empty. I'll try to upload a pic of the little buck from opening day last year. Not big by anyone's book, but it was a great hunt and hazcon7 was standing in the same tree with me when I shot it.... it was an awesome thing to share with my #1 hunting buddy...OK, my #1 adult hunting buddy[&:]
