Anybody Hunting?
Trad section is rather dead. No reports? I had another small doe in my sights (no sights that is) on Sat. But not much after that. I really want to take a mature doe or buck. Had a little basket about 30 yards trashing some bushes, but after about 10min, he looked directly at me.
Waiting for the rut. Wanting to take a deer with my IPE/Boo bow I finished in Aug. Having trouble with consistency.

That is it. Hunting, not finding. Went hunting earlier and saw a few small bucks, but not a shooter. Was looking for a doe, but did not see a single one. Ill be back at it as soon as I can.

Thinking of running it over a planer and reshaping. Kinda like you do when you put that piece of wood at the bottom. Hope you don't mind me stealing your ideas.
But I do believe I did get the shaved head first.

Kent, thinking of modifying my handle some kinda like you do. I made the handle too small, and kinda digs in my heel of my hand. I made it about 6", but gave the sight window 2" of it. So effectively, I have only 3" of it for my hand.

Opened Oct 1st here, but I haven't been out yet. Lots of rain, not much scouting, too much work to do inside and outside the shop.....but it's supposed to be in the 30's either Sun. or Mon. night--that's getting me in the mood quick! I think my neck is swelling......

I hunted for the first time this year Monday afternoon. Had a smaller doe at 18 paces from the base of my ladder, but didn't shoot. I was hoping there were some more deer following her out of the thicket, and perhaps the buck that rubbed the sapling under my tree stand but to no avail. She never winded or saw me, so my spot wasn't blown that night. I'll defiantly be out this Saturday, and hopefully quite a bit next week. School work has been piling up, so it's a big balance to find time to hunt and get the school work done.

I've been hitting it fairly hard! Seeing a few small bucks, nothing that tripped my trigger! Went out the other day and hung my stand, climbed back down and made a couple mock scrapes. About 45 minutes into the hunt here comes a couple young ones the a 2.5 and a 3.5+ yeard old does. They all went back and forth between both scrapes and staring in the direction they came from. A deer was hold up and wouldn't come in. I had these deer at 10 yards for 20 minutes, pretty awesome! I was waiting on the other deer that wouldn't commit! Good times!
