Just me again,
got a bit more time on my hands so I thought I'd elaborate a bit on my situation.
Season opens Oct 1 for me, I have opening week off, after that it will be mostly weekends that I can get out there. The better of the two farms is open till Dec 15, the other is open till new years eve.
Problem is most of Ontario is 1 tag, so I have to have the self control to not take a doe, if I do there is very little chance of me getting out to an extra tag area where I could help the team with some inches (I believe the rule is 1st buck, not 1st deer).
Two years ago I harvested the 1st living thing I ever shot at with a bow, a small 6pt. Last year I got the chance to take a beautiful 8pt at about 35yrds, but my shot was low and forward and I got him in the bicep, all blood ended after about a mile (I didn't push him), I'm pretty sure he's still out there walking with a limp, so now I limit myself to 25yrds (not proud of this event, just letting you get to know me).
The farm I hunt most is soy this year, I have two comfortable permanents built in great spots, but if the deer don't co-operate I also have a ladder, a lock-on, and a climber to switch things up a bit. Hopefully they don't simply stay on the neighbours land thats corn - I can't get permission there.
I was target shooting yesterday, getting good groups, next weekend I hope to take some shots from the stands, and put out some markers at the distances my pins are set for (I know, should have done it months ago!).

Huck and Clayton, thanks for the generous offer, I need arrows but because of the border/lack of do-it-yourself gear/and tuning issues (want to switch from alum to carbon) I'll do it at my local pro-shop. The good news is since we are going to win this thing we will remain team-mates till next season, and I can buy my next batch from one of you!
