one more week! one more week! one more week! Will be in Faquier county for a few days. Last year saw deer every day (and I hunted just about everyday) but this year I will only be able to get out a few days in Nov and maybe a few days around Thanksgiving. I had to tranfer to NYC for work.

I saw 9 the first morning. And no less then 3 veryday I've been out. This is at my new spot, not even close to my food plot. Most of them a Does, but we've seen some ok bucks. My hunting buddy killed a nice little 3 pointer. Nothing special, but if it takes a BIG buck to get you excited your in the wrong sport. I was probably more excited then he was just finding the thing! :-)
Anywho, I moved my stand to a new spot, saw two from it so far, but I think I will have better luck in the mornings. Have had some rain and wind over here in Staunton.

I got a game camera too, the cheapo one from wallmart. I know some "well off" people that us the cheap on from wallmart and havent had any problems. I'll try to scan some pictures in for ya.

Well just saying howdy from Staunton. ( bored at work too )

Is there any good hunting around Appomattox?

I had does get near and blow and go. I saw deer in the field as I drove in and saw two very good bucks. My buddy had a nice 8 point that he drew on but never presented him with a shoot. 18 or so wide, pretty heavy. His brother is going Wed and Fri after that buck. I can not go again until Sat.

Well I killed my first deer with a bow. Just a button buck but hey, I was very happy. Now I am trophy hunting the rest of the year. I cooked up some stew last night and boy was it good!

Got a nice 7 pt buck yesterday. He came straight in at me and I thought he would walk under my stand but when he got within 10 yards he turn behind a large oak. Luckily he stop in one of the few places that had an small opening and I made the 15 yard shot.

I live in Woodbridge (Prince William County). I am getiing a bow in a couple of days. I have not shot for a while. Anyone know any good places to go and check out the Hunting?

If you are just getting the bow and have not shot in a while, my advice would be to hold off on the hunting with it till next season. Go to a range and fling a bunch of arrows or maybe join a local 3-D club. Please don't take this in a negative way, it just the deer deserve nothing less than complete accuracy IMHO.

YEah, I would practice a bunch. I mean we still have plenty of bow hunting here in VA, so you could practive and still hunt December. Here in Staunton I can bow hunt until the end of December.

Scott,
If you're looking for a good range to practice, Ft. Belvoir has a great archery range.
