Welcome Dirt Dawg.

Welcome Dirt Dawg

Is anyone making it out this weekend? I know a few states open. If so, good luck.

Our season doesn't start until Oct. 1:sad:

I'll be out this weekend here in WI as our season opens on Sat. I'll be bowhunting for deer in the mornings and for bear in the evenings!!

How has your bear season been going pockat?

My season opens October 1st. I got an Iowa early muzzleloader tag which starts on the 16th, so I might not be chasing deer until after that. I have scheduled 11 of the first 15 days in November off to bowhunt, so that is when I will get real serious.

Pretty slow for me. They are still hiting the baits but mostly after dark. Hopefully that changes.

Good luck to them that start this weekend. Hopefully it will cool off some in the evenings and get them Bears moving early npocket.

8 more days till we get to sling some carbon here in Illinois!!!!

Just checking back in guys. Wow, some nice pics. Can't wait til October 1st.

7 days and a wake up!!!!!!:cool2:

Season opener just around the corner. WOOOOHOOOOO

5 and counting !

Season opens Friday here. Didn't plan to go out for a couple weeks, but with Friday night lows around 33 degrees, I think I will make a date with my treestand for Saturday morning.

Good luck everyone chasing whitetails this weekend.

Wow... Tomorrow is the day!!!!!..... I have a sort of tradition at work for October 1st..... I don't go LMAO... I have not worked October 1st in over 16 years.... Just about every year I double up on a nice doe and yearling too!!!

Good luck to all of ya that are going out tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone!!! I see we have no team avatar? Think we should come up with one?

Did you end up tagging a bear npockat?

Every avatar I think of for 'Deep Penetration' is bound to get zapped...lol.

lol about the avatar........Season starts tomorrow and with cooler temps and a massive storm system just passing, should be ok if the the winds die down. Best of luck to all that are out.

Gong out in the morning. Good luck to you all.

Connected on a pretty nice 10 pointer today. 18" inside. Probably go 135 or so. I never have luck on opening weekend, but things seemed to align today. Pics are on the camera, and I'm exhaused. Will post more later.

Congrats on the buck Zubba.... I went out all opening day. I got some nice footage of 5 different bucks (all about 1 1/2 yrs) at 10 - 35 yrds....they just wouldn't go away!... They just sat there and fed on acorns for 30 min at a time.... Last night at last light I had 3 fawns come in and their fat ole momma right behind them.... Yup you guessed it, momma went for a nice ride in the back of my Tundra!...

I shot a decent buck this morning, opening weekend being so cool really did good things for deer movement.. Seen a lot of deer.. Shot this guy first thing. Have not scored him yet but when I do I will post it for our team score.. He really has some good character but has 2 broken tines already.. Not sure how good he'll score out, but it's all good.. Good Luck to everyone else!!

Oh.. I'm not done yet, hopefully get another one in the next couple months but I will enter this one just in case..

Nice buck Demo..... I would guess around 125 - 128...... Just remember if you do shoot another buck you cannot enter it also... You can only enter one buck and it is supposed to be your first one of the season..

Good Job!

Very Nice DemoIL.

Here is a quick pic of my opening weekend buck. I have some better pics on a different camera. Anyways, thinking he will go around 135-140. I plan to score him tomorrow, will post score and story then.

Looks like we are on the board early.

Guys, ran out of time this weekend.. I will have to score him next weekend. Sorry for the delay.. Happy to see we have 2 early bucks though.. Nice One Zubba, love it!

Congrats you 2 on the bucks. I only saw 1 buck this weekend. A young and dumb small 6 pointer. Saw 6 does Saturday and 2 does Sunday. They were across the field from me though. No where near close enough for a shot. Season still young will wait to see if I can get a bigger buck. Good luck all.

sorry for the quality but here is some footage from when I was out opening day...

way to go guys......I only saw 1 doe. Season is usually slow the first day there anyway. Hopefully if things are like the past, things should pick up nicely this Saturday.

where can I get a pair of boots like those?????

Walmart, $6.99....lol. My feet were hotter than hell after getting my deer out in my rubber boots...so these were the ticket.

Congrats Zubba and demoIL. Very Nice bucks...looks like we are on the board early!!

Thanks everyone. Finally got a chance to tape him

congrats guys, good luck the rest of the season!

I put the tape to him this morning, a bit less than I guessed but not by much. Those broken tines hurt him quite a bit..

Here he is though, good luck to the rest of the team this year. Lets keep getting points on the board!! Note that as of today, WE are in the lead.. lol

Has anyone been out lately. Dang, I went to Colorado for a week, and only missed one post...lol. Active group I see.

I went out last Friday... I had another little buck (3 pt.) at 10 yds...LOL... I did however smack a coyote that I called in from 180 yds...

Been out just a little bit, been kinda warm. Deer not moving much right now anyway.. Had about 30 cattle greet me the other morning, that always makes for a good hunt. lol

Been getting ready for my elk hunt, can't wait for that..
