Stuck a buck opening AM of Massachusetts w/ the bow... won't count... but I was happy... public land... any buck in MA is a good buck..
Shot a doe w/ the bow later yesterday in CT...

congrats wmh my muzzleoading season opens this weekend gonna get some venison hopefully

Congrats on the two deer WMH. Any time getting a buck on public land is an accomplishment. I hope to hunt on Sunday as I'm in an Archery Course director class all day on Saturday. Trying to get certified so I can run Archery events for youth groups.

Good Luck all this coming weekend. Get us on the board Huntingkuk as you're first out of the chute.

Sounds like a great course to be taking W9... we had to do a similar one to be the "mentor" for our new youth turkey hunt we have now here in MA...
good stuff.

I'll be out there Saturday with the muzzleloader. I admit that I haven't been seeing any good bucks lately and don't really know why but some years on our place we don't see them until the rut hits. This must be one of those years. Hopefully something good happens.

Jimmy S checkin' back in.

Nice buck Western MA and congrats on the Ct doe. M/L starts here in NH on Oct 31. I will be out for at least part of the season that runs a week and a half. Then rifle season begins.
I spend most of my time in Oct bird hunting with my Springer but I always try to manage a few sits on the weekend. My buddy shot a nice NH doe during our archery season and my son also shot a doe but we were unable to find her. It was a clean pass through but she was hit further back than intended. We are seeing deer but not as often as last year this time. Also, all have been does, no buck sightings yet.

Good Luck to all. Hopefully we will all have a successful and safe hunting season.

Thanks guys..
Shot another doe this Friday PM in CT... then it poured out... didn't recover until Sat AM. Had to miss pheasant hunting to go look for her.
Will hopefully be out w/ the springer this Sat Jimmy!!!
Leaving at 3am Sunday morning for New Brunswick rifle hunt. Hopefully I can get us on the board next week!
