was foolin around on paint, let me know what ya think.

the pic is just an idea, I'm open to other suggestions and opinions.

Hey all, sorry for being MIA for a few days. Season opened this morning and I've been busy getting ready. Saw 9 bucks and 8 does opening morning, but no shooters. It was cool, which is unusual this early in Sept but let me tell you, it is a relief to know that hunting season is open. I came in a crashed though, so the wife knows it's time again. I'm back out tomorrow morning, so keep your fingers crossed.

Wow, thats a lot of deer, especially for the beginning of the season. Good luck kcison.

kcison-sounds like your in the right spot-just be patient for the BIG ONE.
I have often thought of going to land between the lakes for a get away Bowhunt-do you know how it is or ever Bowhunted there? Any other decent public places?
I hate going to a new place but have done excellent in the past in New Mexico, Mn., Colorado, Wisconsin, N.C. & a few others just by doing a little research. Keep us informed. Good Luck....

5 more days and I'm out to the woods. Opening day here in Maine for expanded archery this coming Saturday. Getting pumped to go. Plan on heading out around 4:30 A.M. so that I can get up and be quiet by daylight.

Wow Kelly. Sounds like a nice core herd you've got. Good luck! And good luck Amhrdwd! We start one week from Saturday and I am pumped. Just hung the new ladder stand on Monday and will try to take a pic sometime this week. It took 3 guys pushing and pulling as hard as we could with ropes to get it up. Not necessarily cause it weighed so much (125 pounds) but cause it was awkward and a majority of the weight at the top of the stand.

How's everyone else doing with scouting and such? I've seen some BIG tracks but captured none of them on camera. Bought some brassica and the like seed and planning to plant this week in some more mini-foodplots. The first few with cereal grains are getting trampled.

ddlyrfl3006, I like the first draft but think the face is a little too much. He looks a little too freaked out. But I like the concept. How about a close-up of a big brute's head with the two arrows across it and DEERmenators under it? What does everyone else think?

doesnt matter to me, im open to suggestions, no ones gonna hurt my feelings if you dont like it. everyone else agree w/ chucker, or any other suggestions?

I like the face. You're putting the time & effort into it. Do what ever you like.
