Got one this am that just materialized out of the fog.....8pt dressing 175+. Shot him with a Custom Timberspirit recurve a good friend of mine made for me....

Nice Deer. Its been a while since we heard from you. Glad to see you are still thining the herd!

Congratulations Bob.

All was quiet again this morning. My trail cam covering the major trail has not gone off in 10 days. Im not sure if I'll hunt that stand again until the corns cut. May just stick to the public grounds. I was going to go there today but 3 guys beat me to the stands I wanted. Qudos to them. I was there 1:20 before shooting time and the were already heading in. Good job!

I dont think that the neighbor to my east was in the woods blasting away at ducks. Its only Teal season and all I've EVER seen in our woods is Wood Ducks. Hmmmm.......

Hows everyone else doing?

DEBob where did you get your deer , at your grandpops ? I am headed down his way tomorrow for a family reunion, will probably stop and visit with his neighbors , might see him around, next time you're talking to him tell him I said Hi., he was teacher in 58..... I know he is a retired Army General too. "Jimmy Lee"

Had the public land all to myself this morning. Wind was good, but no deer. Its suppose to be cloudy and cool tomorrow so I'm going to give the afternoon a shot. The AM just hasnt produced many sightings at all this year so far.

Man its been a slow start. Where are all the F'n deer? Hunted the public ground from 4pm til dark. Had the whole woods to myself. Saw nothing.

Wont get out until next saturday so this is it for me on the Early thread. Will start an Oct thread next week. Keep the posts coming.

Duck we are picking corn across from the Ennis Farm, if it stays clear we are going to quit corn and go to soybeans, if it is cloudy and damp we are going to stay with corn and will probably ge the farm this week, We have not seen many deer while picking corn in that area at all.

Ron, I got excited when I saw the dust coming from the field on Saturday. Thought you were doing the public side, but quickly saw it was across the street. If you hit that corn this week, send me an EMail the day before I can be sure im there. Its worth a shot!

I got lucky this year and struck some private land down state.Partner went to a stand we set up and got curious after not seeinganything and went to find the trail the deer where using to get to the soy bean field, found that but walking back tothe stand there were 3 does in the open right infront of the stand. too bad for him. I couldn't shot my bow due to some stitches in my hand, this saturday I'll be out. I'll keep you guys posted. I will also be hunting some public land this year as well.
