Hello bob d! Welcome to Lucky 13! I hope that you have scrolled thru all our messages in order to get to know us. I'm the only gal on the team and probably one of the very few in the entire contest.
We sure have a variety of locations on our team...now including an Illinois...don't they say the bucks are bigger there???
I've updated the logo - it's not as perfect as I would like it to be but I deleted the original file and had to work freehand. Guys, please update your profile to reflect the change. The new file is at the following address:

Please email or PM me if any of you need help...

Welcome Bob.:D As you can probably see by reading my posts I have way too much time on my hands. I just can't wait to get this season going. Today my wife and I are going to the cabin to check the trail camera and make sure everything is ready to go for next weekends opener.:D Looks like nobody is giving us any chance to win this contest. I think most of us like it that way. I sure do hope you have a great and exciting season. Good luck.

Jen - Thanks for redoing the logo. It looks great.

Blklab, Good luck Wednesday. I know what you mean about the heat. We open on Saturday and I am hoping we get some weather like we had in August not like we have had these past 2 weekends. Boy does that sound funny. We has those days in Aug with highs of 60-65 for over a week. NOW we are getting the mid to upper 80's.[:@] Guess we can't control the weather so just hunt. I hope to report back next Monday that I got my doe and can then go after bucks.

I wonder how PLB has been doing?

Whew!!! Spent 12 hours behind my "Craftsman" tiller over the weekend. But, two 1/4 acre plots are ready for seed and fertilizer. Tiller was serviced Aug, 2 but it ran poorly, very "cranky", literally. Set up a another service date, Sept 27 "in the field". Pretty neat service warranty. Just leave it and give em' directions;)
I checked my trail camera, four more photos taken. Lugged 200 lbs of corn to one (55 gal drum) feeder and spiced it up with "Game Kings" vitamin/attractant powder (smells good enough to put on your bannana split). Hauled 120 lbs of corn behind my garden tractor and its little trailer down the power line right of way to my "Tornado" feeder. Sure hope my buck collapses in the right of way, sure would make "dragging" him out a whole lot easier. :eek:

Well I got my bow back yesterday:):). The new strings brand is winners choice. I haven't researched this brand but I've heard its good. The store that I got my bow worked on has an indoor range out to 50 yards. So I spent 4 hours shooting, boy are my arms tired today. My bow seems so much faster and tighter, I chot it through the chrono and it registered 270fps. I was pretty impressed. I would say I shot over 100 times maybe 150.

The store charged me $40 :Dfor the string and for putting it on with, a kisserbutton, nocks, peep-sight, and 4 o-rings for my release. I think if I would have taken my bow any other store it would have costed my at least $60[:@], just guessing. I am satisfied with the quality and with the workers at the shop. I just hope it stays in business. And with them chargeing those prices well ummmm you know.

I don't think I'm ready to hit the woods Thursday, So I think my first hunting day will be Saturday. As long as I get good results from shooting on Thursday. I want to be totally confident on my ability to place a mortal wound on any deer I take a shot at.

Happy hunting. KK

Great KK. Glad to hear you are happy. As for the pro shop just go there when you need things and tell everyone about them. That is the best thing to help them stay in business.

As for waiting until Saturday I agree. It is a long season so don't go out until you are sure of you equipment. Confidence plays a major role in bow hunting IMO.

Good luck on Saturday. That will be my first day. I have that dang doe to shoot first so I hope that goes well.
