If bow hunting were as easy as just go to the woods and shoot a deer many would not bow hunt. Just hang in there. The big thing I have learned this year is to TAKE MY TIME. I used to rush everything. Just slow down and wait for the shot to present itself. Good luck to you.

Oh and I love the quote of the pumpkin parade. I will have to use that sometime.

I agree, things are getting interesting in GA. I put out a climber last night that I got this weekend. I can't wait to get out there this weekend.

Well, I climbed in the stand well before daylight. Once settled in I started sweating. Not the sweating you do when it's hot out. I felt funny. I was a little higher up than usual, but that wasn't it. Oh yeah, it was last nights pizza and it was about to come back up. Fellas, I blew chunks all over the place. There was still no light and my morning was ruined.

... or was it?!?!? I couldn't believe it, but no more than 15 or 20 minutes after the chunk blowing episode I heard something pass in front of me probably 20-25 yds. out. I could not see what it was. My field of view only extended maybe 10 yds. And then it would only be a dark sillouette. Well, I wasn't completely settled. I didn't have my calls or rattle bag out. So, I couldn't have tried to lure it back.

After several hours in the tree I eased down and moved my stand to another tree where I had seen some trails earlier about 100 yds from the previous spot. Once it was locked on I started out of the tree line when I saw one of the largest rubs that I have ever seen. The tree was slightly, just slightly, smaller than a 4x4 post and the rub reached completely around about 2.5-3 ft. tall. Hopefully I can talk my wife into letting me borrow the digital camera that I bought her so that I can take some photos.

I had a great exotic hunt this weekend. I was going after either a big axis or fallow. We spotted a great axis and were stalking him when we came across a herd of mouflon rams and there was one I just could not pass up. He is going to look great on my wall.

Hey all, Well my weekend was a complete bust! The 120 acres private land didnt belong to the lady that said I could hunt it. She sold it when her husband passed away and the present owner informed me that she isnt all there (senile) she only owns 1 acre that her house sits on so its gonna be public land for me. I do have an advantage though oct 28th thru 31st is a Tzone which is doe only well since I am disabled I can take a Buck then so hopefully while everyone in the woods blasting does some big ole bucks will come by me. I have been out to the range enough that if a Buck does show he will be mine!
