I got to see my 11 point today! I heard a grunt behind me then a few seconds later a deep grunt came from about 80 yards. The 11pnt walked out at 70 yards then vanished.

Unfortunately tomorrow will be my last bowhunt.

Sorry about the 11 pt... Good luck with Gun season

Last bowhunt? Already? I still have two months of bowhunting this season.

I'm just glad I got to see him. He won't be so lucky when its MZ season!

Curtis-we only get 40 days of bow season, and this weekend is youth. We get 64 days to gunhunt.

Oh way different than here. We have from Oct 1st to November 30th and Dec 17th to Jan 10th. Early Muzzleloader is from Oct 13-21. Shotgun 1 is Dec 1-5 and shotgun 2 is Dec 8-16. Late muzzleloader is Dec 17-Jan 10th.

had this guy show up in daylight, the big buoys just are not showing up in daylight yet, but they are getting closer( like a half hour before shooting light)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiXmj...yer_detailpage

Had an awesome time with the kids on the ranges Saturday morning. Got in the stand about 1:30 sat till 5:10. Shot a big doe, spent the next hour and a half tracking. I just can't believe a double lung shot at 22 yards with a Swhacker Broadhead ran about 50 yards, but no blood for the first 25 then sparingly for the rest. I can't figure it out. Found her, but it was difficult. Maybe lungs filled up, complete pass through. Just didn't bleed well. Beautiful day in the stand though. Keep those prayers coming, it's killing my brother, Rusty, not to be in the woods. Thanks guys

Well I got great news today. I will be headed home tomorrow night as the cold front moves into the state. With it being in the 80's today the temp change is going to be a mere 40 degrees in the next two days. It being that time of the year for the rut to start kicking in I'm sure these 40 degree days Friday, Saturday and Sunday should have the deer on their feet. I'll be in the stand all day Friday from 6 AM to PM. Saturday I will be out in the morning but will have to leave to take a trip to southern Iowa and back to get a vehicle. I hope to have pictures to post tomorrow night around 6:30. I'll keep every one updated through out the weekend.

I'm in a tree right now. I missed a big one last year put of this same stand. Lets see if I can make something happen.

Good luck Arjuna
