sorry it wasnt earlier, as I dont hang out TOO much in the archery forum, usually in the Deer Hunting and Off Season and Midwest forums the most. I will be back here more often now though.

Oops, forgot to add some details
My name is Aaron, Im from Illinois. This is only my second year Bowhunting, but my 10th season hunting Deer overall. The deer in my avatar is the one from last year, my first wall mount scored about 148 without deductions. However, that was with a shotgun. I could have got a small 6-pointer real easy last year but passed because there are some big deer out there.
I will be hunting pretty hard come October 1st, opening archery day in Illinois. I scheduled school and work around it all season. I have classes from 8-12pm and 6-10pm on Monday, possibly allowing an evening hunt. And I have classed Noon-3pm, and 6-10pm Tuesday, allowing for a morning hunt. Then I work Wednesdays and Fridays starting around 7-8pm, allowing me to hunt morning and night those days and all day Thursday. As for the weekend, I will have to work one night, and other than that I can hunt the rest of the weekend and most of the time probably will. I am stoked to say the least. Sorry about the rambling, just filling ya in!

I posted this on the midwest forum but figured I would give it a shot here also just in case someone got some ifo to share with a team mate.

I live on the eastern side of the state but was offer full permission through a long lost Aunt on 3 farms around Coldwater ohio. aprrox 700 acres all toll. Needless to say it is about a 4hr+ drive for me and wanted to know if anyone knows if this area hold enough big bucks to make it worth the ride to scout then hunt. Any info of this Couty/region would be greatly helpfull.

Trytan

P.S Fieldmouse I come down to Raleigh NC a few times each yr and could possible make a trip in Oct if you got some big Yard deer that could help the team...lol

I'd jump all over that offer. Pull up the land on a topo map and make the trip. I love going cold turkey sometimes into areas. It can be a lot of fun.

Hi everyone, 2dog checking in. This will be my 6th year bowhunting. I hunt mainly in the NE part of North Dakota. I will be going at the end of October to hunt mule deer in the badlands of ND. Our season open on September 1, I can't wait. I shot a decent 8 pointer with a 14 1/2" spread 3 years ago and a smaller 8 point 2 years ago. Last year I never had anything big enough in range, I did shoot a doe though. I shoot a Hoyt Vtec.

Guy's I'm ready to Rock!!!!

Went out yesterday and bought arrows and some other crap. Spent all morning (don't tell my boss) tuning it in and sighting it at 20 feet (which is what you do with a scope). It's Dead Balls Acurate (a industry technical term, thank you Marisa Tomei). I'll check next week when I get back how it shoots at a distance.

Let's pick a name. How about "Dead Balls Acurate" or just "Dead Balls"?
