hey guys. just wanted to frop in and say that i got my first buck with a bow. i got my licence and 21 permit.....went out and later on that day i got one. man when everyone said bow hunting was alot diffrent that shotgun/black powder theye werent lieing. its a world away. but i got to say i had a blast.

as far as the rut.........its kinda slow going here in my area of ocean county. most of the bucks iv seen so far are still feeding. im ecpecting the rut to be in full swing by the time black powder opens in 2 weeks.

im hearing that the rut for alot of people allover is a bit slow this year as well. i wonder why.

any way good luck to all of you this season
