Went out at 5am and was on stand by 6am. Just enough time to settle in and getquiet. Well nothing showed up till 7:30 and I only new that cause I heard the stick snap. She came in behind me and and didn't give a shot as she ate at the base of my tree for a bit then wandered off into the thick stuff.
Walked out at 10am and pushed3 more deer over the fence as I heard the unforgettable sound of hooves touching the fence as they flew over and away from me .Was awesome to get out again ,man the colors are fading fast,leaves should be off in a week or so if we get a good wind,specially with the temps dropping starting Monday. Only expecting a high this week of 12 c [:@]. Great if your hunting. Talk to you all again Wednesday.

Dragged myself out of bed at 4:30 this morning and headed out with the bow. On the non-huntable land adjacent to where I can go, I saw 7 bucks, including a couple dandies. I think they can be enticed off there once the rut comes around.

Hi all. I got back yesterday afternoon from my bowhunting trip to Newfoundland. I didn't get amoose, but still had several close calls. It was a fun adventure and I am giving serious consideration to going back in a few years. I came back with a busted bushing on the bow - it still shot accurately, but it needs repair. It'll be a few days before I can get back out.

Good to see some of you guys are getting out. Congrats on the goat Jack!

Very nicely done, GMMAT. That will be delicious. Or is it 'those' will be delicious - that is, are there 2 different does there?

Andy, too bad you didn't get a moose, but I know you had a wonderful time. The antelope trip was a gas and I spent several days also trying for a doe, with no success. Several stalks that almost worked, though.

I was out before dawn this morning and set up in one of my favorite spots. Nothing but does, and fawns, however - and only bucks are open. Three times I had fawns less than 20 feet from me, while the does were busy grazing 30-35 yards. But closer than the fawns was a real dandy skunk; I was sitting on a camping stoolnestled ina screen of bushes and outit steps 5 feetin front ofme. It trundled right over to me, sniffed my boot, then went on its way.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances.....I find myself with a lot of free time to devote to hunting, now. I'm gonna take advantage of it.....and I have to tell ya.....I'm optimistic (on all fronts).

I feel like I'm "close".

Good luck to all of you guys.

Well done GM on the doe. Did you take her in a clover foodplot?

I just got back the bow &tweaked it this morning - looks good. I'll be getting out as soon as this coastal storm hitting the east coast clears on out.
