Well guys, I'm back. Sorry for checking in so periodically, I just have a hard time finding time to get on here.

First off, congrats Vogt on a great buck, got us on the board!!!

My draw hunt came and went this past weekend with little luck. It was an awesome experience, with the great oppurtunities, it is just very difficult to find a good spot to hunt with only a 1/2 day to scout and hang stands in an area you have never set foot on. My dad and another buddy in my group shot a doe with the recurve, my brother, another buddy, and I didn't have such luck. I sawa 2 1/2 yr old buck and a few does, all out of range. The biggest deer shot this weekend was a great looking 8 point that grossed 141". We saw a lot of monster bucks going into and out of our hunting area in restricted areas. They know where they are safe. My buddy that shot the doe, also shot at a 160" 10 point and shot just beneath him. It was definately a learning experience for me and if I ever get drawn again I would do a few things a little different. Like I said before, it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again.

Now, it's back to the real world. Before my draw hunt, I did have a chance to get in the woods on my place, but only seen small bucks and does. It should start heating up right now, but unfortunately, I have to work until the 13th of November. Good news, I will be off from the 14th through the 28th. It should still be good hunting during that time. Rifle seaon will be open during most of that time, but I will tote my bow into the woods on most days.

I will continue to keep checking in while I am working these next 2 weeks and I hope Vogt has gotten something good started for us. Lets stay after them hard and get em on the ground. Good luck everyone!!

Just for entertainment, here is the link to a few videos my cousin has filmed this year. They made a hunting video last year they named Full Throttle Outdoors. This year will be season 2. It is just an amateur hunting video, but I think he does a pretty good job. The doe that Mitch shot yeasterdaywas on my food plot. Hope you enjoy:
