ditto...
as for gloves... I use the Mossy Oak Pass through gloves and practice shooting year round with them on. They are not super warm, but warm enough to fight of cold October & November AM hunting...

I've been shooting a few arrowsper day now w/ broadheads.... getting ready for the bears..

My wife's 13 year old cousin caught a nice pike last night. He is the one that I am bringing bear hunting for the first time this season.

Went out and did some quick deer scouting yesterday. A couple of small close to home spots have some terrific sign. I put some Deer Caine out a few weeks back and that spot has had some activity. I added a time release block to it.
The other spot I added a gallon as well.

We'll see. I'll put the cameras out once they are being hit well.

I moved my camera last week and checked it yesterday. Had a small doe in some pics and a fawn in some others.

Erik, how long does it usually take for them to start hitting the deer caine ? I'm trying some for the first time. After a week it doesn't look like much activity near it. Put out a block and poured some of the liquid on it. Haven't had rain in 2 1/2 weeks though. I think I remember something about rain helps to "activate" it.

yea once the rain hits it, it will really start kicking.
I just went out and freshened up one of my sights and got one of my fall/winter food plots ready to plant.

Sometime if ya wanna speed it up i take a CLEAN srayer with me and spray it down.

The last caine i put out they dug a hole that was a foot deep and kept coming back for a full year.

On a high note I saw a pretty good deer the other day no pics of him yet but he looks like one i took a couple years ago.

Any luck with the missing entry flstnhd? Hopefully he will check in soon so we will have a full team. Good luck with your scouting its just a few short weeks before we can get started. Chris

No, haven't heard from SDarcher. I sent him a pm and emailed him, but no response. Still shows the last time he logged on was 8/9/08. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon. If not it looks like there are plenty of alternates to be asigned. I'll email him again.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

There is usually one who doesn't check in... let's hope he does..
Usually a couple of weeks on the caine... One sight has been out for 3 weeks, getting hit, but not hard... I won't check either site now until late September... Just gonna let it be. When I leave for my moose hunt I will put my cameras out on the 2 sites. Hopefully they will be very active by then.

Wow, almost a whole day with nothing in the thread......

So dry around me right now that the acorns are starting to drop already, which is a good thing? cause all the oaks are on the neighbors land, all we got is corn/clover/bedding areas ;)

Starting to get a bit of chill in the morning (49degrees out right now) fall is coming......

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

That is a great feeling, isn't it Wiaxle. I was thinking the same thing this AM when I got up.
Do you guys have lots of apples? There are apples, beach nuts, & acorns everywhere this year up here.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I spent most of the day yesterday clearing out someshooting lanes on one of my stand that i use toward the end of the prerut after the crops have been harvested. its right in the middle of a huge acorn stand. but like you said some are already starting to fall. may have to push up the use of this stand.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I'm not seeing many acorns this year:( I'm thinking last years drought may have affected them ?
