rick where is the spot at and was there alot of sign??

RE: Opening day of Bow in DE.........
 

Lemond, which spot? Lums or the weigh station ? Lums there was plenty. If you want to kill a deer he said go right behind the maintence shed. I think thats Rt71, not sure. Behind the weigh station I didn't see much but am told the first one you come to is the one to hunt. I scouted the 2nd one.

thanks for the tip,..my son went to camp one year in lums..deer are everywhere..i have a pic of a monster shot there a
few years ago. where are the weigh stations??

RE: Opening day of Bow in DE.........
 

Don't know. I think you have to get some kind of permit to hunt in Lums also,don't quite remember, I will check.I remember that monster buck you speak of. If I get my bow back in time I plan to hunt the first location (A) behind the weight station Thur evening and probally Fri evening as well. Don't know about Sat yet.

Rick - As of last year, you did need to register to hunt there. Also, their season may have opened later. Possible in Oct. I don't recall that it was open to hunting this time of year. Could be section specific though. I have not hunted there yet but, plan to this year. Also, I see that have archery only areas. Sounds like fun!

Buddy of mine mentioned to me today that he saw lots of parked trucks this evening below Augustine and along route 9. I'm sure someone is laying into the buck.... I can't wait.

My main bow is being worked on....good thing I have two others at the moment.

Well i found this thread a little late. I shot a small doe on opening day adn shot right over the back of a nice 8 point on tues evening. He was about 50 yards out and i shot for about 55 yards and he ducked the shot. Ohh well. Theres always tommorow.

RE: Opening day of Bow in DE.........
 

Retaks, That sucks about the missed shot but there's still plenty of time to make up for it. I was out the other day and had 5 doe 30 yrds in front of me. As I drew back I heard a snort,a big doe was behind me that I never saw come in and spoiled everything. Oh well. That's just another part of the whole hunting experience.

Good luck to all this season.

lemond the truck weighing station is on Rt 13 S of Blackbird, ( that was my last project before I retired) turn off Rt 13 onto Eagles Nest Landing Road and cross over Gumbush and the first spot is right there on the left up about a 1/4 mile , the next spot is attached but parking is on up about a 1/2 mile on the left. 1st farm has soybeans the 2nd has corn.....I;d go for the dornfield........
