RE: 18- Team Official Thread
Starts the 9th, next Sat., was checking and moving some stands today and yesterday. Trail cameras up on new pieces! Shot today and grouped well... 3" at 35 yrds. On the down side I lost an arrow today, shot it at a snapping turtle in my pond[8D]. Was getting a little too cocky and thought I could get him. Hit his shell and ricoched way off into the woods. Darn things have a hard shell.[:@]

Put up a stand yesterday in one of my favorite spots, and its usually better in the early season. Jumped a decent buck(either 8 or more points). Found a nice rub in the area I placed the stand. I refletched some arrows over the weekend, looks like I will be using the Blazer vanes because they are grouping very well using my heads. October 1st will be here soon!

2 does and a bunch of fresh rubs on acorn flats. Thinking about walking some new land today since Sunday Hunting is illegal here. I plan on some evening hunts this week, but have to check the work schedule.

Put up one last stand over the weekend. We recieved some much needed rain last week. We have been in the worst drought that I can remeber. I hope it hasn't affected antler growth too much. I have seen several nice bucks but you have to wonder how big they could have been. Anyway the rain sure has brought the temperatures down. It is starting to feel like fall.

Nailed down another 10 acres today. Have to go check it Wednesday. Supposed to back up to some city property. Guy says that he pulled in the drive at his house and there were 3 standing in his yard.

RE: 18- Team Official Thread
Well, everything is in place right now for another season. I have a few stands in areas where I know there are many deer. I will be heading out this weekend for the opener. I can't believe the season is HERE! Good luck guys. I'll keep you posted. If a Pope and Younger steps in front I will take him but 125" is my requirement for harvesting unless it's late December.
