Supposed to be windy here tomorrow and still some rain for tonight. I will still be going out as I think the rain is supposed to stop late afternoon. Good luck to all you that are getting out. Sorry to hear the Dakotas are so flooded. We got our floods here back in August.
Pheasants are fun to hunt. Not sure about guiding them though. I have not been pheasant hunting in years. Since my Dad purchased our 80 acres I pretty much do all my hunting there. With a nice cabin and out building we built it is hard to go anywhere else.

No luck with the bow this weekend. I sat Friday night and Saturday and Sunday mornings. I went and joined the gun hunters on Saturday night. I wanted to be sure to have a couple more buck tags before this coming weekend and the start of the rut. Well I dropped two more does so now I have 3 buck tags good for this year OR next year. If (God willing) I was to even get a chance at 2 big bucks this fall I will still have a buck tag to start next season with. I did not have that this year.
So now it is bow only and I hope things will be rocking hard with the cooler weather we will be getting. Also I will be out this weekend 26-28 and then Oct. 31-Nov. 6.I won't be reporting much in that time so don't think I forgot about you all.

Finally got out on Saturday, it was probably the last hot day of the year. Scared a buck getting into my stand. I assume it was a buck it was alone and the huge scrapes that were around my stand. These scrapes looked like somebody dumped some mineral on the ground. Didn't see a deer after that. Did get a shot at a turkey though. So it wasn't a day lost by any means. I'll be out all this weekend. Good luck everybody on Team 36.

Well guys, good news and bad news. I shot my first ever deer this morning, not just any deer a fairly nice 8 pointer. The bad news is in the rush of it all and the adrenaline the last thing on my mind was take a picture with me the deer and my bow for the contest. Here is the picture I do have with the three necessary items. If the deer is not counted, no big deal I shot this deer for myself and just didn't think to take a picture. I double lunged him and he only ran about 70 yards!!! Enjoy.
