Iyote, is there a reason u haven't added my 25 to the team total on the front page? Is there something more I need to do. I think it is already on the page for the the official count.

since my last post hunting has went to crap. atht all i have to say for now.

Sorry Arjuna, just forgot to add it. I will do that now.

no problem, brotha... just thought maybe I needed to do something

How have your hunts been?

gonna get out this weekend hopefully but I will have a shotgun or muzzleloader in hand rather than my mathews

Alright this may be a stupid question but this is my second season bow hunting and I'm still learning. So here is the question. The rut is starting to pick up now and it is in the seeking chasing phase I know this is the best time to be hunting but unfortunately I'm stuck 2 hours away from home with out my bow and a car. I was wondering if I will be missing all the best movement because I won't be able to hunt until the 16th? Will I miss the rut completely? Do I still have a chance to get a big mature buck up on his feet?

To make things harder for me. The neighbors from home have been sending me reports of seeing big bucks in my timber over the past week.

So am I going to miss out on everything?

Just prepare to hunt late season food sources.. as for the rut, I have no idea for your location. Ask locals about when they tend to see rut activity decline.

I really wish I could see this guys antlers. :/


He reminds me of this guy from two years ago:



A younger buck I'd settle for:

That first one is a pig... choot 'em regardless of his antlers, not many people get a first buck that mature-In fact many hunters never kill an old stud like him
