Forgot to mention my taxidermist called to say the skull measured out at 20 4/16 green so I guess this qualifies for B&C Awards book. Too bad I wasn't bold enough to take him with a bow to get into the P&Y permanent book. Next time.

just checking in. I was on vacation at Virginia Beach. This weekend and this up coming weekI will be scouting a new piece of land. well good luck to everyone!

Went out with my son tonight. This is his first season bow hunting. I saw 7 does and 1 small buck and 30 turkey. My son saw 4 including one with spots that stopped at 5 yrds. I asked why he didn't shoot it. his response "it still had spots". I still think he should have shot it, being his first deer with a bow but maybe next time. Seasons looking good. Good luck and congrats on the bear skull.

Well saturday night was about the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I shot a big old doe at 40 yards and I watched the arrow hit her good in the heart. We had an amazing blood trail. Then she made it to this thick stuff that we could even walk through and we never found anymore blood. She could of been laying 6 inches from us and we would of never found her. Out of about 35 deer or so I have shot this is the first one I have ever lost. I don't care if it was just a doe but I know she is dead and just makes me sick that I couldn't find her. I know that it happens and now I know the feeling. Hope you guys are having better luck.

Hate to hear that for you. It happens.

3 more days......

Hey guys....just checking in. The season's been open for two weeks, but the weather has been so hot and the school work so intense that I've only made it out one time. Rest assured, that will be changing shortly. The weather looks like it is on its final slide to the cooler temps and with that comes a drive from within that will get me in the woods at every free moment.

How's everyone else doing?

Season oped on Sat and I went sat a.m. and wasnt close to anything. Saw 8 does and 2 bucks 100 yards off. Weather is still to warm for them to move buta cold front is rolling in now.

Things going as planned. Close but no cigar yet. Could have ventilated a doe but held off because she was accompanied by 6 other does. Working a new prop. and figuring out the travel areas, bedding and feeding areas.

Where did all my teammates go????? Hello, anyone out there?!?!!?!?!?!?!
