Welcome to the team, good luck this season.

6 more wake ups and it's hammer time in Ohio !!!! Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Well we had a great weekend in WI. My son on only his 3rd sit connected with a 6point on sunday morning. Posted a pic in the main archery forum.

Awesome, tell your son congrats!

Thats awesome congrats to you both! Getting anxious for my first sit next weekend. Sent a message to Bowtech9 so hopefully he will check in soon and we can actually have a full team. Weather is definitely turning around here. Nice cool crisp mornings, all I need now is Oct. 1! Good luck everyone!

We had 38 degrees this morning here! Surely didn't want to go to work. I wanted to be in the woods! Two weeks to go for me! Counting the days!

Well I am finally have one week to go until our season opens! Days are going very slow.

They only get slower as time creeps closer! Season opens in 4 days but I still have a week to go until ill find time to get into a stand. Going to wash all my stuff this weekend for my trip next weekend. I can almost smell the deer blood....

....and taste those chops!!

Good luck!
It is to warm up this week in my area. Figures it would since the opener is next Saturday.

Luckily for me they are saying that it will be cooling down this week! Good luck guys!

The temps are suppose to cool down this weekend in WI. I haven't been in to the woods since the kids got his. Lots of nice deer seen on camera and in the food plots. Bucks are all rubbed off and starting to travel on their own. Should be a good season if I can connect. How is the team name coming along? If it gets changed from team 5 please send me a message so I can find the thread. Good luck guys.

Good luck guys
I am pumped I have drawed to hunt a few days in a military base near my house! There are great bucks in there. I am picky especially in there. I seen a 140" 8 point two years ago that I could not get a shot off on. Unfortunately another guy down the same set of woods did. I helped drag him out. He was 20 3/8 inside spread! He was a great buck!
I seen 8 bucks and dad seen 9 bucks. It was good two years ago, last year was very slow hope this year will be better. I stay on stand daylight to dark.
My other hunting spots are not showing much for good bucks but that is typical. They start showing themselves closer to November. I don't use trail cams where I believe their bedding areas are. No need to disrupt things just for some pics! I want to see them with bow in my hands! I also only hunt those stands when the rut is closing in.

Well the season finally starts tomorrow. It is be 85 degrees tomorrow. I am going for a few hours in the morning. At least it will be nice to back in the woods again with my bow! Good luck everyone!

Got out all weekend. Saw a few small bucks-close enough for shots but passed, and one nice shooter-a hundred yards away. Was nice to be in a stand and see some deer. Good luck to everyone getting out, be safe and shoot straight.

Well I normally do not spend to much during the week hunting during the first few weeks of archery season. Well I had off work this past Tuesday so decided to go out in the evening. Well I had a great evening!
25 minutes before dark I look over to see deer coming in my direction. It took about a second to realize a real good buck was coming! He came with in 25 yards but no shot! I had another opening but before I could react he was already through the opening. All I could do then is watch him walk up the mtn.
So I left work early the next day to see if I could get a shot on the buck. I did see 7 but he not with them! I was a bit disappointed to say the least. When I got to my truck last night I notice a flashlight on the ridge! The guy walked up right he was bedded the night before! I felt a sick feeling but not much I can say it is public hunting. I am staying close to that area but I am not pressuring it much. If that hunter did jump him, I am sure he is on high alert now! I have no doubt he is in the area!
He was definitely one the larger bucks I have seen this early in the season. All it does is add to my obsession!!

Hope everyone else is having some luck!

Nice encounter, its hard with public land. Living near Chicago there is limited public ground and everywhere it is there are a ton of hunters. Glad to have some other private spots to hunt on. Have to travel this weekend so wont make it in the stand but hopefully next weekend I can

Just checking in from the stand. So far today I've had 4 skinheads at 15 yards no bucks today. Yesterday only seen 2 does. Didn't hunt the weekend because Ohio came up with stupid idea of a early 2 day antlerless muzzleloader season that u couldn't even shoot a buck during those 2 days with a bow. Last week a bunch of does a a few small bucks.

Just doing a quick check in. Temps in WI are getting cold. Calling for a mix of snow and rain on Saturday. Had a nice encounter with a very nice 8 point earlier this week. Starting to see better deer every time I sit.

Definitely cooling off here in Illinois as well. Hoping to get out a couple times this weekend but the wife and house chores say otherwise......what do they know anyways!!

Cool weather moving in tonight. I will be out tomorrow morning and evening. Been slow this past week.

Hows everyone doing, much movement? Didnt get out this weekend like I had hoped. Have a trip planned for this next weekend that will hopefully produce. From what I have heard they are starting to move pretty good. The farmers have yet to get the corn out on a couple of the pieces that I hunt so it is pretty restricting with so much standing corn still but hopefully it will be out soon, by the weekend would be nice!

Just checking in .... Things r starting to heat up here in Ohio. Had a shooter sneak in on me tonight 6:05 but he came in from behind me and by the time I seen him and got my bow and got turned around he was through my shooting lane. But he never knew I was there so there's always tomorrow. GOOD LUCK

Killed a nice buck on Halloween need help figuring out how to post pictures haha

Go to "Manage attachment's" and follow the instructions. I don't know how to make the picture big

Click on "Go Advanced" under the message reply window. Then click on the paper clip icon, and select the image from your PC. If the file size is too large, you may need to open it and save it as another format or reduce the resolution to get the file size down. Good luck and congrats! Can't wait to see the pics.

Seeing if this worksAttachment 27056

Awesome buck! Congrats on a great buck. I want one just like it :)

Congrats on a real nice buck!! We are finally on the board!!

Conrats on the nice buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooster,
Dont forget to get your buck posted to the scoreboard with your official score!

Pa buck down tonight! Hopefully get the pics and score up tomorrow. My guess is near 90"...decent bow buck for this area. Points for the board. Main frame 8 point with another point at base and 14" inside spread. Not my biggest, but definitely a buck I'm proud of. Good luck to the rest of you still out there hunting!

Congrats, look forward to seeing pictures.

Photos are pretty bad....taken with my cell at night.
