Well, thats a good thing GR8 [8D]

You know, Ive often thought to myself, how many squirrels could I have killed from a stand? When I actually go squirrel hunting on the ground stalking, I dont seem to see nearly as many as when Im in a stand.

So who is still bow hunting?? Who is done for the year? I have several other zones I can still tag bucks in for bow and can hunt thru Jan. I'll probably use my longbow from here on out. I will be traveling around MD some, but not to much more being gun season comes in next week, and, Ive taken 2 does and 2 bucks so I could hang it up right now and be very happy with my bow season. I may even go out with the boys on opening day of gun season just for the comradery and for some pics. After that, I will be doing some goose and duck hunting. Hmmm,goose hunting with a bow? I couldnt afford it even if it was ethical lol.

Oh I'm not done..I hope to get out Sunday and a day or 2 next week..Although I have to wear blaze orange as the Youth Gun season will be in. But then I'll be done with archery until mid December.

Our season runs until around Feb 4th so I have time.

I will be Gun hunting the week following Thanksgiving. In PA at our Family Camp, should be 6 of us in Camp this year. In our hey-day we were in double digits.[&o] Time marches on.

We need to really pick up the pace if we hope to contend! This contest has been a Jinx for me..lol! Been in it 2 years and haven't gotten an archery buck in 2 years.. [:'(]

We need to hear from some of our other team members.

still here and still hunting. rifle season is still in so ive been switchin up between the hoyt and remington. no shooter sightings from stand in season yet[&o].

getting discouraged and looking for a break in some coyote and duck hunting to get me motivated again to continue sitting on stand for all this time. after so long without a big buck sighting, motivation drops off. i will be bow/rigle hunting this weekend. but then over thanksgiving break ill be doing some duck hunting and maybe mix in an afternoon or two of bowhunting.


Diesel, ive watched a video of goose hunting with a bow and it was awesome. they just waited for them to land in the spread and hunted from ground blinds so once they hit the ground, it was much like archery turkey hunting. pretty neat. to afford the arrows, they just bought some lower end arrows and shot around till they found a cheap arrow that flew true and bought 2 dozen of them.

if i was any account at all at calling i would give it a shot. i just sound like a fog horn when using the call though[]

Haha, I hear ya TE. It took me a while to make a sound the even slightly resembled a goose. Now Im okay at it. I have an hour drive to and from work and often entertain myself blowing my calls. You should see the looks I get when people pull up next to me, priceless!

Sorry Guys about not posting since I got back, but been trying to catch up.

See you found your Buck Diesel, And taged another one while I was gone, A BIG CONGRATS to you on 2 great Bucks!

Congrats to Mantis also on another great Buck!

I will post later tonight when I get in from hunting on my Kentucky hunt!

I did make it out for the Sunday Hunt.. Had 2 BB feeding below me. Man, I have 2 doe tags expiring this week. It was beyond tempting to let the air out of 1 of them little guys. But alas I didn't!

I did see a MONSTER of a Nontypical Saturday about 4pmon the edge of town as I was running to pick up some take-out Chinese. Awesome deer plus he had to go 250 lbs easy. I got out of the truck and glassed him for a good 10 minutes. Backwards kickers ..he had it all. Plus he stood there maybe, maybe, 50 yards off the road. I coulda launched a couple at him with no problems..cept the legalities of no permission! He was something though!

Cool, good stuff GR8.
