Congrats on your doe Hungar!! Now lay the smack down on a nice buck!!!
ORIGINAL: HUNGAR
Starting to cool down here, shot a doe last night in the high winds. The Drenalin and Slick Tricks are officially broken in now, time to test them out on a big boy! Pics are in the bowhunting section.

I went out yesterday & put up a stand where I took a Doe last year & passed on 3 different Bucks & one that would have been a good buck-120 + but I have been holding off for 3 different Bucks I have seen in the past 3 years-all real biggies. I have gone without filling my Buck tagbut not because I have not had the chance at many in that 3 years. I am not normally aTrophy hunter but I have kinda made it a who is smarter than who with these 3. So far, I have been the dumber of them all. I have had all of them within 60 yards of my stand at one time or another in the last 3 years. If I get them within 30-35yds, you will get to see their pics.
Wife having surgery soon so will be able to get out once that is over. Been a tough 6 weeks for sure & it's pretty depressing when someone you Love is in so much pain & you can't help them. Good Luck guys.

We wish your wife the best and hope for a quick recovery after her surgery.
Good luck with those 3 bucks once you are back in the trees!

I was only able to get out on Oct 1st. I was supposed to go sunday but ended up accidently sleeping in late and woke up to a rain storm. Decided to watch the Bears loose instead. Hopefully I will be able to get out in 2 weeks. I don't think that anyone else has gotten any bucks on our team since ahunter.

I have not taken anything-yet to get out. Will be in Iowa City with wife next couple days & her surgery.
I looked at the Bucks taken-congratulations to those fellas down south on some nice Bucks. I've Bowhunted many states & sometimes it is tough to take a good Buck in those southern & other heavy hunted states like Pa & Ws.. Good Luck to all.

Got the wife home from her surgery & things look better. She has been in horrible pain for over 2 months.
My daughter went out for the 1st time on their farm & saw nothing on stand. I went for the FIRST time yesterday also, only to a stand I have on CITY property (special rules apply & qualification). It's just a few min. from where I live so I can get home if wife needs me (we have a 16 year old daughter at home also to help her when I am gone).
ANYWAY-got in the stand about 3:45. 4:30 I had a busted up 8 point-16" spread, 2" bases(now 6) walk rightin front of my stand at about 10 feet (I am up 15' ladder stand). Then 5 min later his twin brother (only a good solid 6) comes to the same spot. At 5:00 I had a Doe pass at 20 yards but she never stopped where I could get a shot (real thick where I am set up). Then at 5:30 I had a Fork horn at 15 yds. that his ears were bigger than his horns. It was a great start for my FIFTY FIRST year of Whitetail Bowhunting & 1st time out. I just wish a Buck like these would come by the daughter (or bigger).Either of the two would be a great Buck for a beginner. I will do my best to put a decent one on the ground for our team this year.
It just going to get better from now on fellas-Good Luck.
