Only Your MOMMA!! LOL LMAO

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!! 130 or better is GREAT!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Your right Dave. I'm glad they moved it to 10/20. It's worth it to wait 1 more week for temps to drop and hunt the pre-rut.

Mike, I've never used those but I've heard good things about them. My brother in lawuses them and likes them.

Mark, its always good to see deer. Sound like the perfect spot when the rut kicks in.

Brad, I think you made the right choice. Better to take caution now and keep the bucks in your area then hunt longer one evening and lose a good buck with the rut around the corner. Also, you can talk about my momma all you want if you land that 130 for our team. LOL:D

Nathan, bring him home big guy. 2 days left!!!

Your 1st day looks like mine did. There's still plenty of time for that to change though.

I'm excited about tomorrow's weather. High of 49 in the morning with the wind out of the West. The stand I'm hunting should ahve thedeer come from the west out of the field. plus, it's supposed to rain tonight whgich should allow me to sneak in there.Wind will be 12-13 mph but I'm ok with that. the palce isdown a hillthat willbe slightly protected from the wind.

I bought the steps that are sold at Dicks' for $40 and they are pretty good. Definitely better than spending $100 for the same thing with a brand name on them.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Well found out His Nephew isn't hunting this year up there.. SO thats GOOD.. I'm pumped AGAIN!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Brad,

That's great news.I need to start finding someone with private land for next year. Hopefully, someone that will not require a lease.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

It was actually in the 40's this morning and will warm up to low 70's. Not bad.
Dave I hope you get one tomorrow. Brad that is awesome news!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Sounds like decent weather for your opener fun2hunt.

Thats good news brad:)

I wont be getting back out till tommorrow evening...got bowling leauge tonight.

Here is the stand i hunted last evening, blue dot is my stand, North is up. the red out lined areas are preferred bedding areas, really thick tag alders.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Mark,

I take it the blue dot is your stand location? Talk about funnels.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

You got it... i need more stands up lol

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I finally figured how to do this having fun with this now..lol

this one of my other stands about 1/2 mile away. red x is where my ladder stand is...seen a big 8 2 years ago, but he gave me the slip...nice inside corner here with a little draw bucks like to travel to get to the field edge.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Thanks for the Lat& Long to your spot. :D;)
I hope you get one in either location.
The set-ups remind me of where I used to hunt in PA.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

O man i didnt even see that[:-]

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I tried LIVE.com and it didnt work...

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Here is a Pic of the wife and I at engagement pictures. We've been married two years now, August 20th, and together for a total of 9 years. We have two children, a 7 1/2 yr old boy and a 18 month little girl..

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

U-2 make a great looking couple. Im still single no kids but want some someday. Hopeing someday to find a beautiful woman like yours. There's only one problem there's no girls here, and my job kinda keeps me from moving.

She dosent by chance have any single sisters or friends does she?;)

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

That's a great picture Brad. Nothing like a good family to go home to. 18 month little girl, I have an 8 month little girl too along with 10 and 7 year old girls. This last one was a surprise to say the least but a great one. Thanks for sharing that with us.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Well its 8:48a I bet Dave is already in the woods set up and maybe has already given a deer a smackdown.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I dont know about you guys, but it really MAKES ME MAD that the frickin weather channel can't ever get the Wind Direction right.. I mean come on. They say one thing in the morning, you plan a hunt, 3 hours later they change it, you plan another hunt, then 2 p.m. rolls around and the wind is not what they say.. Can't they Get it FRICKIN RIGHT??

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I hear you,I use weather.com (hour-by-hour) and intellicast.com

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

They cant get it right i agree. i have more faith in this site for wind speed and direction than the other weather sites. they dont have bessmer but ironwood should work.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Nice photograph Brad! I have not been on much lately.WOrk has been extremely busy and in the evenings I have been devoted to a lot of hunting preparation.I will be in a tree tomorrow morning.It is SHOW TIME! It goe's without saying that I am looking forward to it.In the morning I believe I will be in a tree that I have been very fortunate in in the past.It this property ever sells I will cry my eye's out.He is 89 years old,I don't think I will have this spot to hunt a whole lot longer.
There in the morning.In the afternoon I expect to have my nephew with me for his first ever archery hunt.In a different spot a couple of mile away.I was in there a week ago to set a second stand in the same tree for him.Two heavily used runways beneath the stand and a couple of fresh rubs. Now if the weather cooporates we will be in business.
Good luck to everyone this weekend! Be safe and have fun!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

good luck and be safe tsoc.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Good luck Scot! I hope you get one. This is my last weekend of waiting, I'll be joining you all in 7 days!!!!!!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

hey you guys its me and in about 5 hrs this kids opening day will have started and ill be an active hunter part of the team anyways ill check in tommorow about 10:00 till then hunt with your face to the wind

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Well guys, I didnt get one, but my 75 yr old father did.. Here's the pic..I sat with him last night, and didn't see much, but i did get a photo of the buck I'm after at my stand an hour after dark of course.. But I really think I know where he's coming from now... He looks likea GOOD buck.. I'd post the pic, but you really need to look hard to see his right side of his rack..

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

That young buck has some mass on him. Congrats to your dad, how great that must be to share that with him. As far as the other buck could you tell anything about his rack?

Nathan, it's here man. Have fun tomorrow.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

No i really couldn't Only that he has 4 points forsure on his right side.. The second pic i got of him, makes rack look even bigger, but its so hard to see and blurry... We'll just wait until he's on the ground , then we'll judge his rack. How's that sound??

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

that sounds good mathewsboy, well you guys opening morning was a bust i saw only 3 does at about 300yds and i had a few sneak through behind my stand out of range but im feeling good about tonight and i think that ill get one (i hope)

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Can't argue with that. Nathan, was it great to be in the tree this morning?

Dave, how did yesterday go?

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Good Morning everyone,
Had a good sit this morning.I saw 8 or 9 deer,seven I could identify as doe's or yearlings.Two of the deer I couldn't identify,they were at a distance of 90 to 100 yards and all I could see was them filtering through the trees.The squirrels had it raining acorns like I have never seen before.At one point I actually thought it was raining there was so many acorns coming down in the surrounding oaks.
It was a nice way to start the season.I will be back out this afternoon in a different location with my nephew.He wanted to come out this morning but I didn't think his first archery hunt should have him getting situated in a tree in the dark,I would rather have him be able to see his surroundings and do everything to get settled in day light.
Congratulations to your dad Brad! A great thing to be able to share!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Good afternoon. Nothing new with me. I havn't seen any bucks yet, but it's bound to happen soon.

Other great map resources are county gis maps. The one for my county has everything. It has satellite/topo, all the roads and such, with all property lines. It even tells you the owner, size, etc. of the property. Its a great tool for finding somewhere to hunt.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Congrats to your dad mathewsboy, i bet he was pumped.

Sounds like you had a good morning hunt Tsoc.

How do i find that badger? i tried to google it but i cant find nothing
you dont have the link by chance do you?

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

hey you guys the winds got to be going at about 30 mph's here and thats making me worry that my evening spot will be crappy but hey you never now and ive got to try i saw a six pointer and some does enter the feild where im going to climb so lets hope that this works im literally praying to all the hunting gods above that this wind doesnt have to bad of a effect on the deer
