Hey Ron! I went yesterday in NJ with the Bow. Slugging it out with the permit shotgun hunters is tough but I did actualy see a couple deer. Never got close enough for a shot. If I had a gun though, this might have been different.

Its was F'n cold! Thank god the wind wasnt blowing!

I would love to hunt in DE, but the farm I sub lease dry's out deer wise late in the season and the cant see drawing a permit on the public plots to hunt the state stands with gun hunters. You have to be mobile this time of year. We Archers have a long season, but it kinda stinks, for poor slobs like me, that the gun hunters get the last 2 weeks of the season. :) Kinda shuts out the WMA's for us. Oh well, like I said, its been a long time since Sept 2nd. Next year will be here soon enough!

I think I'll have to go again though, even if its just to watch the sun rise or set.

Take Care!



Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,

Bowhunted DE dawn to dusk yesterday. Went south to find to find more snow (strange snow storm, wasn't it<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>). Hunted in Gumboro in the am and Georgetown midday and pm. They had a 5 inches in southern DE. Saw most deer between 10 and 1, including a couple yearling bucks chasing a tiny little doe. Supposed to warm up tomorrow...could reach 30!!! I'll be out there again!

i am still here and will hunt wed...hunted last week and i saw ZILCH. i will be at again and just hoping to score. if not, it was worth the time and effort. i learned more and that will make me better next summer. i will hunt more during the warm periods next season. hunting from the T2 blind will make that possible. bugs r a mess during the early season.

a buddy of mine told me that he saw 2 bucks...antlers still on..so, who knows..mayb the monster is still there waiting.

My buddy has invited me to go with him tomorrow afternoon at Jefferson's Crossroads near Milton, but the windchill is supposed to be minus 15. I guess I am just a 63 year old wuss, I cant get turned on about hunting in that kind of weather, sorry, might back out. It is the last week of shotgun, now or never. DEBob did you get to hunt around Bull Pine this year...

Hey Ron...Nope never did hunt down that way. May start...talked to the family that is tilling PopPop's and they thought they'd have some room for me to bowhunt! Good folks!

You may want to hunt down at Jefferson Crossroads ASAP...I here the landscapes gonna change dramatically in the next few years...seems a big time developer bought out the biggest farmer in the neighborhood! Welcome to Delaware!
