haha Germ and DM are right...i'll try to keep it more to the point this year...but i dont make promises


Matt, yes, i found a HECK of a rubline last year behind my new house...ive been hunting back there for years...well, alot of walking around/scouting before i could hunt alone(my old house...2 houses back... was 2 blocks away from the same set of woods just a different end of the wood lot..) killed my first longbeard back there...i bow hunted it once or twice last season...got permission to hunt in an orchard across the road from me but they seem to be using that at night heavy...the woods got a pile of guys that hunt it after work and such...the rubs i found were HUGE and the rubline was long...it was almost stupid how easy i could follow the rubline...they werent close together....it was just classic big buck movement...cutting corners...cutting the point...staying on the edge of the thickets...lead to the next ditch over from mine which is nasty thick...thats his bedding...thing that throws me off in PA is ANYTHING and EVERYthing is a food source...dont know that i'll devote a ton f time back there...i know a couple crews pushed it out in rifle season....we could be dead...time will tell...i coon hunted back there this winter and didnt find any tracks that turned my head like his should have...but if im busy a day durning the rutt and got a morning or evening to hunt, i got stand sites i can be in 10 minutes or so for a quicky and still have an alright chance of seeing something...


im shooting pretty well for not shooting in about 4 months...got all my gear out...walked outside...got myself as excited as i could picturing a big boy in the woods...drew...told myself i had 1 arrow...sent it home...beautiful 20yd shot...put the bow down and came inside for 10 minutes...then went and proceeded to shoot for a bit...still tire out quick but i'll get there...no fear...i dont shoot over 25 in the woods...got no fear about a 25yd shot even right NOW...let alone in a couple weeks when im really on
