Hey Matt (my son) will be home on the night of Oct. 30th. The Navy approved his leave. He has to head back on Nov. 7th but at least we will get some time to hunt during the rut. He is pretty excited but I think I am more. Hunting is great but it is more fun him out there. We always have a good time. It will also mean I will get more time off during the rut as my boss will have no problem ok'ing the time since Matt is here.

Well I will be heading out this weekend. Still will slam a doe if a nice one comes by. We have to earn our bucks and any does we shoot will give us a buck tag good for this year OR next year. I want to make sure I have a buck tag to start next season. I will shoot up to 2 more does this year if I get the chance.

Haven't checked in in a while. Still haven't went hunting. The weather just broke and we are seeing 30's in the morning. I did check out my area a couple of weeks ago and boy the bucks have tore up lots of trees we've planted in the past couple of years. I plan to get out the 20th of October pretty hard and then the next Saturday after that. All in all, I should get in roughly 8 hunts before rifle season starts. Booooo! I wish sometimes there wasn't a rifle season!Hopefully we'll all have a nice buck before too long!

You haven't been out yet? Ouch. I know the heat does suck. I also know what you mean about the rifle hunting. I still go opening weekend with my Dad because that is the only time he hunts. He bought me a new rifle when we got the land back in '01 so I still take that out. Where I am at we have a 4 day gun hunt coming up the 18th - 21st this month. I have to wear orange to bow hunt then. It really does put the deer on alert but I hope they will forget all that when the rut starts.

Good luck team.

I was out this morning and got caught without my bow in my hand It was 26 degrees this morning and overcast, and I couldn't find my gloves when I got out of my pikcup to hunt this morning. So I got caught without my bow in my hand when a brute of a 5x5 appeared at 22 yards at a scrape. Hopefully, in the morning he makes the same mistake, only this time I won't make a mistake.

Congrats on the doe. I look forward to seeing the pics. I will be on stand tonight and all weekend. I will check back in on Monday and let you all know how I do.

Rammer bummer about getting caught without the bow. That is just the way bow hunting goes. Too bad you didn't hear him coming in. Amazing how quiet they can walk sometimes.
