Congrtas on the bear and the buck Buck Knife! Stay with it Mauser, you are closing in. Ap, you are going to be sending pics of a 10 in no time.
I went to Kentucky again, and did a lot of scouting. I put my oldest son in my stand that I found last week,and he saw the big boy I knew was there. It was a 10, 150ish---but he missed the shot! That's okay-- I know he's still there! I found another very good spot as well. I am going back the 11th thru the 14th, hopefully to close the deal. I am going to go back here in Georgia this weekend, and see if the poaching problem has been resolved. It is time for the bucks to really get active soon.We need some cooler weather and rain--serious drought here. Total watering ban, and I am in the landscape business--so pray for rain.

manuman...that sounded like a good kentucky hunt....hopefully your son bags him next time!!
man...watering ban and in the landscape business...thats bad news...hoping you get rain. i worked in the landscaping business all summer...if i wasnt watering something, someone else was! lol. the trees and plants at the farm even needed watered once a week or so plus the sprinkler system daily because it was so dry for a while. up here, our fall is our busiest time for the company i worked for. we do mainly lawn installation and hyrdoseeding though...do a fair bit of landscaping as well..but lawns are our big thing..fall they get slammmmed.
feels good to have someone say im closing in already germ and rob and gmmat and the crew was my team last year...i didnt hear that for a couple weeks in
first year as a bowhunter last year...i got winded every hunt my first week lol.
going to hunt that area SMART...i know i got a GOOD chance at a buck in there if i play my cards right. i cant decide how soon to go back. could hunt it saturday or monday or tuesday....i really dont wanna hunt it till it cools back off anyways. i just wanna hit it when they should be moving and get in there and get him dead.
figure i can burn a couple days hunting random spots at home till i get the colder temps and give it time to settle down...
didnt spook him...but he knew something was fishy...

RE: 31-Official team 31 Thread
weather looks great for next monday and tuesday thus far. major cold front looks to be coming from what they say, and what i can see on the charts in meterology class. IF it does come, im hopefully i can add some inches to our board..."fall breal" from school is monday and tuesday...thankfully. we shall see whats in store for me....
im really hoping the buck i seen, or another shooter gives me a shot. i can see the buck i seen beein 70+...i really dont know. at first he looked small...but at 30yds or so he looked bigger...proably 12-14" 8pt...just not quite to the ears so hes under 16" ....we will find out when i get him dead! i just gotta find a way to keep my spot...i think im going to PARK at my spot EARLY...just incase...and hike down the road a 1/3 mile and hunt the edge of a corn field saturday morning and evening...just to hunt and "reserve" my honey hole with my truck being there but me being 1/2 mile away, across the road....im a sneaky guy i just dont wanna hunt it saturday with it being 85...
we will see what the weather brings....
hoping to head out here at school tomarrow....we will see. as of right now i believe i can head out...
mauser wants his first bow kill and a buck to boot BAD...so bad he can FEEL the antlers in his hands....i just know i gotta hunt him SMART.
