Best of luck to everyone. I'm actually doing a filmed turkey hunt Saturday, but it's rack time after that.

Be Safe!

Going down to southern Ohio Saturday morning to do a little scouting and hang a few stands. I just got permission to hunt this land that is next to Mead Paper if (Ohio hunters know the place I'm sure). The only problem is it is about an 1 1/2 hours from home. The guy I work with said no other hunters on his dads land and a lot of deer and several big bucks so I'll see what I can do to bag one for us this season.

We know that each of us will see the buck we want, and maybe have a shot at the buck we want. The most important part of the hunt is did you enjoy the hunt and did you learn something from it.

There's no way to score that!

Well, here is my weekend....Saturday morning.....saw nothing....oh yea wait a minute....I did see something......A SQUIRREL HUNTER!!! he came within 60 yards of me!!! So needless to say I did not see anything that morning. Did not get to hunt again until last night. I saw 4 deer, all does. A doe and 2 yearlings came within 15 yards, and I could of shot the doe. I chose not to because she is still nursing them. If that situation comes up again in a couple of weeks...she is in trouble!!! It was awesome to get in the woods. My brother in law saw a nice 9 pt. (18-20 in spread), and did not shot him. He says he is looking for something a little bigger!!!!

well guys went out tonight. i have to say that it was the best bow hunting day i have ever had. now i didnt shoot a buck or even a doe but its still been the best bowhunting experience i have had yet. about 8 minutes before dark i saw a buck out in the hay field i hunt near. i am about 15 yards inside the woods. i grunted 4 times with no interest from the buck except a look around. just before it is too dark to shoot. he starts walking towards me. he is about 70 yards away. he stops 50 yards away and makes a ground scrape. then continues on to about 40 yards and makes another one out of view. he continues toward me taking his time. he finally gets into my shooting lane and is just standing there for about 5 minutes broadside looking around. i have already decided that it was too dark to shoot and did not want to take a chance of wounding him. so he literally walks to the left and to the front of my stand for a total of an hour. he takes a couple of craps about 6 yards away. never once new i was there. he also made a rub over a mock rub i had made 6 days before. he was an 8 pointer with about an 18inch spread i think. he walked around in front of my stand for an hour. the funniest thing is that i didnt even think about this contest once. in fact i didnt think about it until i logged onto the boards.

wish me luck !!

Sounds like a nice way to spend the evening Shootem. I had an extremely slow weekend. Went turkey hunting on Saturday. Ended up being a nice long walk in the woods. Sunday climbed into my stand. Ended up being a nice long sit in the woods. Maybe this weekend will be better.

hey guys sorry i haven't got'n in here for a while. I've been running the Youth Try outs for hockey everynight since homecoming. i haven't got'n a chance to get out there yet, but i'm hope'n if nothing else to get out and shoot some of those tree ratz with a less experinced hunter (gurl friend) and just get her shooting cuz she is more into the action (but then again who isn't). shes never been hunting, so i'm hope'n she'll have fun with it cuz i know i sure as sh*t will/do. well i gotta get to the rink so good luck to everyone
