Good luck this weekend T in PA3. Doesn't that last week of waiting take a toll on the nerves. Always watching the clock on Friday to see when work will be over so you can go home and get all the gear ready for the AM hunt.

I just finished all the rules for qualify for a city management Bowhunt.
Hunter safty, 5 out of 5 at 9" circle @ 20 yards with B-heads ect.ect.. Anyway, just put up a stand on one of the city properties since it's only 5 min. from my home. Rule is antlerless only BUT IF you take 3 Does by Nov. 1st you qualify for a city EITHER sex tag. So, I usually pass on does but since it's a management Bowhunt I want to do my part. This town has some tremendous Bucks. Other than enough meat for my family I am going to donoteany other to family'sdown on their luck IF I bag anything at all. Good Luck to allon the team-remember, WE WILL be #1.
I will try my best to put a BIG IOWA Buck on the score board...

It's rained every Friday here when I have the day off. Last weekend was a huge downpour. Hopefully this Friday I"ll have nicer weather.

evening-3 Does, 2 Fawns, 1- 6 point(40 yds-still to small), no shots.
I could have taken one of the does at 15 yds. with a fawn but the fawn was extremy small.

Could have went out Wednesday morning but it was rainy/snowy mix, 30 degrees, and gale force winds. Tomorrow morning I am going out for sure. Wind is dying down to 10 mph or so and supposed to be sunny and high 40s. Leaves are pretty much all of the trees now so tree stand hunting isa little more consipicuous to the deer with my terrain. I am planning onsitting in one of my blinds tomorrow. Good luck everybody!

Seeing does pretty regular. Watching how much pressure I put on these areas. The does are there, the bucks will be too in the next couple of weeks.

I had a nice Doe pass at 20 yards(I have 3 antlerless tags) & was getting ready to take a shot when her fawn came out-extremly small for this time of year. I just can't shoot a Doe with that small of a fawn. Anyway, no Bucks. Things should only get better from now on. Good luck to all. Remember-we will be #1 at the end of the season.
