Alot of people in Nebraska are talking of alot of deer dying to EHD. So far I've been lucky and I haven't found any on the land I'm on but that doesn't mean they may not be close by. They say the cold will stop. And also a buddy of mine drew a bull elk tag, which is a once in a lifetime permit here in Nebraska, and he got a letter the other day that says his area is closed due to this years fires. He's still going up to some public land even though he could get a refund but it doesn't mean he'll get drawn again. Just a weird year for us hunters.

Most of my bucks are hard horned now guys. still one out there with one side in velvet, I can't figure that out lol it's been like that for 2 weeks. I got all my stands ready and my food plot is lookin great i just can't wait to get in my stand..

And Dmax we are hunting the same county i sent you an email pm me and if we are hunting close by we will get together

I cant wait to get into the stand either, saturday cant come soon enough. My dad is coming up hunting with me this weekend. We are planning on deer hunting in the morning and evening. Then do some grouse hunting in the afternoon. Should be a great time, its been awhile since we have got together to do some bowhunting.

I just bought my tags today & DNR couldn't pay me enough to get these tags back. 8)
I haven't seen EHD on our land, but it's been reported here in our county.

I hear ya there buddy lol. I live about 8 miles south of the north dakota border and i havent seen any sign of EHD either, actually the deer herd up here looks very healthy this year. I am seeing alot of twins and triplets and the mule deer herd seems to be coming back. I hope the diseases stay down south.

P.S.- i will be in the stand for the first time this year in exactly 12 1/2 hours.

Way to wish your teammate well:action-smiley-099:

i meant southern south dakota lol. May big bucks fill your woods lmao.

lmao, that was funny.

You guys hunting this weekend be safe & good luck. Lets see some tags being filled!

For the last 2 years i have gotten my doe the first weekend, Hopefully that trend continues this year. Sleep is going to be hard to come by tonight.

I love that feeling. Check & then double check your equipment & then do it again. 8)

oh man i know, you just descibed everthing i have done already tonight and it is still early. Maybe i should wax my bowstring again lmao.

Good Luck tomorrow sd! For me, I have a perfect NW wind that I never get this time of the season. 1 problem, I have to help get all the grandparents things loaded up for an auction. Hoping it only takes 1 day. 2nd problem is Sundays wind is from the SE which, yep you guessed it is terrible for me. Just have to end up sitting in one of my not so fave stands and hope for the best.

you can always debate with me over the definition of hunting ethics. 8) lol That'll pass the time.

It is so far lol, i just dont want you to dislike me over my strong disagreement with furgitter.

to late.....jk lol
We're all entitled to an opinion man. Yours is just stupid. Again jk, lol

Best of luck tomorrow. Hard freeze up here Saturday night/Sunday morning. May make the 1st trip out Sunday now.... I usually wait till after the first week of October, we'll see..... Gives me an excuse to check my cam too lol

Thanks mottz, I set most of my stands up for a nw wind, but this year i set a few for a se wind so luckily i am covered. The ones i set up for a SE wind are brush blinds so we will see how they work out. May the wind gods be on your side on sunday lol.

It is suppose to get down to 30 F here tonight. But the good news is most of the crops are gone so hopefully it pushed the deer down to the draws to bed. Stick it too em if you go out on sunday lol.

I will give it an honest effort for sure! That is the plan...Will be nice to get in the woods regardless

Good luck to you guys this weekend! I'm still holding out for the first here.

yep, 9 days left.

Hell man, I should be the one worried, not you.
I know that the majority of our team probably sides with you. However, I do not. I think it comes down to personal ethics & ones own abilities.
And let me say this also, I don't have the ability to shoot a deer on the run, nor do I practice it. I'm comfortable with the quartering away broadside shot. Its what I practice & I'm confident in my abilities to do so. Therefore my fellow teammates, you can rest assure that my ethics are not in question. 8)

Cool, thanks FM.

hey guys im here, thanks, already got a doe down

Its a start! I posted it to the score card

Welcome to the team Afton. Congratulations on the doe. I saw your pics of that kill & that's some hole you put in her. When did your season start down there?

Very nice & your team thanks you very much. Heck, youve been here 5 minutes & already put us on the board. Way to go man!

season started sept 15... here are some hit listers... the bobcat is my bonus!!

Damn man, that 1st one is a hoss. Good luck arrowing that monster.

ok heres the spot.. 2000 acres of private land.. way to many does so that is deff a priorty this year but as you can see we have some quality thumpers on hand... This is my first year to strictly bowhunt (strictly is a loose term). All in all the season forecast looks good

well he is from last year but i think he made it, never heard of him gettin shot at either.. its pretty tight hunting out there too, not much goes on that we dont know about, the landowners family live at all 4 corners and there is one road through it

Welcome aboard ARK! Congrats on the doe and good luck on those bucks and bobcat!

ill tell you guys something that i like! I like the fact that there are over 100 more post on our team thread than any other, communication, and sharing our life of hunting is awesome, I believe I am very fortunate to have been added to team 7, thanks again for having me guys!!

Seems as though we're just as fortunate to have another good ol' country boy on the team. Keep on posting man.

I love it!!! her lung fell O-U-T... :party0007:

Damn that's big hole. What Broadhead did that?

That would be the RAGE Xtreme I am field testing for RAGE!!! FREE and AWESOME!!!!

What's the cut diameter on that thang?

2.3" the gash on her was 4 1/4"
