Murphy's law
Well, I have been hunting longbow all season so far. And have seen alot of animals but none within 18 yards and with the swing, I can shoot out of my climber. All were 25-30 yards. Even seen a few bucks. Typical story, the stand was not in the right position, just a tad too dark to see, typical hunting crap.
So our muzzleloading season started on Thursday. I have hunted for 3 days staight, and I have seen so many doe its crazy, and guess what? All have came within 15 yards wide open trad shots, but here I amwith asmokepole. I am thinking God is telling me this year, this is what you are getting, shoot it. I usually always see 1 buck for ever 4 doe. But on this new property, I see 30 doe and no bucks. So we will see if murphy is still at it in the next few weeks with bow in hand again. I hate to pound does with prerut starting. |

BC, 15 yards with a Muzzloader and you didn't shoot, how close do you need them:D:D:D I dream of sending a patched round ball from the Flinter thru a deer......:) |

RE: Murphy's law
Can you not hunt bows during gun or muzzle loader season. We can in Texas, so I hunt all year with just bows. You are seeing more deer than I. I took a nice doe this weekend (ill post pics later) which was only the third doe ive seen this season. I tagged two of the three. Thank God two walked my direction, the thrid was run off by a hog.

RE: Murphy's law
You guys are lucky you have more then one tag! Be thankful at that. Here where I hunt I only have one tag. No doe shooting for me until Mid December If I'm still buckless or unless I drive 4.5 hours north to my dads where I can shoot a couple doe's.
Good luck Mark! |
RE: Murphy's law
I get two doe tags and one antler tag. If I travel south to a two buck county, I can tag a second buck. But ive got to find a buddy with land south of me.:D
