I'm off. I leave this morning for the hunt. It's a 6 + hour drive and the toyhauler will probably add another 1 1/2 hours to the trip. I plan to check things out tonight and tomorrow.

Hunt begins on Friday and the weather forcast is rain for Friday. The plan is to hunt Friday to Tuesday morning and then come back Tuesday night.

If you don't hear from me before you guys head out for your hunts, best of luck to you.

Best of luck PLB. I am guessing you won't see this until you get back but I will be thinking about you. I will be getting out on the 18th. Gotta get that doe so I can get a buck tag.

Been trying to pattern the big boy!!!

Nice buck DC. I sure hope you can find him once the season opens. I just can't seem to wait anymore. I just gotta get out there.

RE: Official Team "Lucky 13" (13) Thread
 

Wow DC that is a nice buck. Jen wouldn't that be nice to catch a deer like that on your deer cam. PLB good luck on the your hunt.

Well I suffered a bit of a set back today just one week till opening day. I was practicing shooting today, I was hitting nice groups/clusters. I was just about to call it a day when on my last shot BANG my arrow hit the target and my bow shook violently. I looked down and my bow string was on the ground!!! My string broke on the top cam. I had my bow all set to go out and now this. On a good note my bow will be ready Monday, but I'll have to retune it, attach the peep, kisserbutton, string leechs, and cable guard slide.

Has this happened to anyone else and if so how differently did your bow shoot?

I hope the season starts off better for all of you. Happy Hunting KK

KK sorry to hear that. I have never had anything like that happen. I would think that once you get a new string on it you should be able to get it set just like you had it. Of course you will have to break the string in. I guess that can take 200-500 shots. Looks like there will be a lot of shooting for you next week. Keep us posted as to how it is coming. Maybe we can be of some help. I don't know that I can be but someone here might. Good luck to you once you get the bow shooting again.

On another note if you have not heard Jeremy from team 20 (huntingnet) is planning some sort of prize for the winning team. I sure hope this doesn't cause some one to cheat on the "FUN" contest. Based on everything I have learned from my team mates I am not worried about this team. Let’s just win this thing fair and square. I know we can do it.

Thanks guys and gal. I hope everyone has a safe and plentiful season. Good luck to all.:D

Got my seeds for several small food plots. Going to till', drag, plant, fertilize,drag this weekend. Have one Imperial Clover 1/4 acre plot on its third "fall". Will be planting two more 1/4 acre plots with Austrian winter peas, oats and Pennington brand "Rackmaster" clover blend in a power line right of way.:eek: Then in small openings in the woods I'll plant a mix of the peas, oats and Shot Plot. Lots of work.
Went to check on my feeders this past weekend. Several tracks of a giant hog. Give you an idea on size. I put my middle fingers together and thumbs together, thats the size of the print. Last time I developed film from my trail camera I had photos of three bucks, nothing giant. Four pictures had been taken since last visit. I have 25 acres in east Texas 17 miles from the nearest town, Grapeland.
I hunt with a rifle as well as bow. I was at the rifle range with my 10 yr old grandson, Ben, a little while back. He shoots a NEF single shot in .243. He breaks open the gun the shell pops out he gets a smell of burnt powder looks up at me and says, "Peepa, this is more fun than the Bugs Bunny Log Ride!" Now THAT is what its all about!!!:eek:

Awesome. You will remember that always.

I can remember when my son was 2 and I took him rabbit hunting. The snow was a little over a foot deep so he was having a hard time. After about 5 minutes he called to me and said "Daddy, this hard work for me." I unloaded the shotgun and carried him for over an hour just walking in the fields. It was probably my most memorable hunt.

Let's see some of those pictures that you have when you get time. I do love to see trail camera pics. Good luck with the food plots. I know what you mean about work. I have a post on the wildlife forum here about my oats and extreme with some pictures. Sure is worth it though.
