10 more days to go here.... and I am ready to hunt!
Yesterday I had two groups of does and fawns pass thru the backyard, and also this little forkhorn. For two days in a row the activity was almost exactly one hour after sunrise. I remember this being the case last year also. You could almost set a watch to it.
Checked the Stealthcam yesterday to find it had taken 12 photos. YIPPEE! I guess it helped to move the darned thing a little closer to the trail. Pics come back tomorrow and I can't wait to see them. I moved the camera to a trail that is at the bottom of the hill at the edge of the field. It is overlooking one of the springs and there are tracks all thru the mud there and also a couple of crabapple trees.

Don't know why the pic didn't show up...you'll have to just follow the link...

Nice pic Jen. Good luck if you go after him. I do feel sorry for you that have to wait so long. It however was so hot here last weekend. This weekend is supposed to be highs near or at 70 so I am looking forward to some better morning and evening hunts. Be sure to post the trail pics when you get them back.

Hey Jen - Looks like you may or my not have to work on our logo. Seems there is a thread at the top this page asking us to limit the size of a team logo. Can you do the editing down for us? Guess I will also have to remove my other logo for the "other" contest. This is my main contest and I am in bow for the other one as well. I may just have to switch back and forth once and a while. I have to guess that the logos are why the boards are running so much slower lately.

Thanks for the help with this. Here is a link to that thread [link]http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=769351[/link]

WI... I caught the logo message. I guess it's back to the drawing board. AS it stands now I can't get the logo into the size required without modifying it. I will try to fit it in the rectangular size. I'll get it done as soon as I can.:eek:

As for the forkhorn... well, if I could I would take him if the opportunity presented itself. However, we are under antler restrictions here - must have at least 4 points or better to one antler. The only exceptions are for kids. I think they should have exceptions for those who have never shot a buck before too!;)

I hear ya on the hot weather. Last year we were miserable with skeeters and its hard to sit still when they are attacking you. Doesn't seem that bad this year. We've been getting nights down to the 40's - even was 38 one morning. Most days have been in the 60's and 70's.

No problem here Jen. I am sure you will do a fine job. I will probably be removing it from my sig shortly. If that is the reason why the boards are going so slow now then I fully understand why they want this. I also forgot about your antler restrictions. I have to agree with you on that. For me we have to earn-a-buck. Last year we "earned" 6 but only shot one. You would think we could carry some of that over to this year.

Well I should let you know I will be going out tomorrow right after work (done at noon on Fridays all year long). I also at this point have Monday off. If the weather stays crappy like it has been here lately (low 80's and sunny) then I will just come to work and save the vacation day for better weather (50's and cloudy). Can you believe that some people I work with here think I am CRAZY. They just don't get it. Anyway I am planning on taking the laptop with me and if I can get dialed in from the cabin I will check in. If not then I will let you all know how it goes on Monday night.

Hi Guys!
I have decided that I am removing the logo altogether. I am just going to use the regular typeface to read as follows:

>>>----------->TEAM LUCKY 13<-----------<<<

I can understand how the logos were clogging up the forum. I just had a problem with reducing the logo down to where you coudn't tell what it was. So, there it is...

Good luck WI...and also to the rest of you that are into the season. The days are counting down for me and Hatchet Jack in PA.

Got my StealthCam pics back today. I am posting the three best pics. Only the one small buck showed up for pics. What I found most interesting is that in two of the pics there is a big doe on the top left that is standing in the exact same place the next day. I thought at first the two pics were taken one minute apart but the dates say differently.

Bod d, more scouten the better.
Jen, awesome pics!!! Makes me want to get a game cam too. I feel bad that the logo didn't work out after all the time you spent on it. I did enjoy seeing it around the forums. but if it was slowing down the threads then its for the best. Thanks for taking the time to put one together.;)
Wihunter, Funny line:D:D. Good luck up at the cabin this week.
Others around the office and fellow classmates think I'm a little crazy to get up early and sit in the woods for hours.
My cousin came home empty handed while on their elk hunt in Colorado. He said the elk were bugling a lot. He said he was tracking a nice bull and had him at 200 yards until someone else took him out[:@]:(. I guess he didn't have his name on it.
I'll be hunting this week-end. Saturday Ron (cousin) and I will be going out. He'll help me pull the monster out with the help of his atv.
Silent hunting,
KK

Well I knew this would happen. I weather has completely gone to crap. We are having mid to upper 70's today and nothing but sun shine. So I came home and am here at work. Might as well save the vacation for better weather. On the bright side I can now shoot at bucks. I got my doe on Saturday night. A nice 1 1/2 year old just like the one my son got a week before. So "Let the games begin". I am still looking to shoot another doe if I get the chance. I have a few stands that all we really see are does and if the wind is wrong for my other stands I will sit there and look for does. Anyway it was fun to put some meat in the freezer. I will have some pictures on my home page [link]http://www.maffet.com[/link] later. Just click on the bow hunting 2004 link.

I would like to wish all of you who finally get to start this weekend the best of luck. There is nothing like that first day back in the woods.

I will be going out next Friday night and Saturday morning but then have to head home. My son and daughter are both going to homecoming this year. I have to be there with the camera for pictures. If the weather should make a turn for the better I may use that vacation time next week. I keep everyone posted.

Hey PLB got those pictures yet?;)
