hopefully this is my 2008 bow season
 

Hopefully this is a taste of what my 2008 New jersey ( south Jersey ) bow season will be like.
Here are some bucks that I have been watching.
They all walk right past the tree that I am going to use.
These videos were on July 19th 2008.
I hope they still some growing to do.
Will they grow for another 6 -8 weeks?
When do they stop growing there antlers?

those are some good looking bucks....that early archery opportunity will only last a little while....they'll break apart from each other very soonin the fall' good luck with your hunt.

thanks

that is a high fence it looks like.

RE: hopefully this is my 2008 bow season
 

there could be a dozen reasons for fences that high.....i highly doubt hes hunting penned in deer

All 100% wild deer and I shot the vids at 7:30pm on July 19th.
It is an 80 acre feild, I cut a hole in the fence and every deer that come in the field walks in that opening in the fence.
I have permission to hunt the property.
I have been using the field for flying my RC planes for the last three years.
Seeing these bucks this year is making me go bow hunting for the first time insix years.
I usally only go gun, but not this year.
There are about 15 fields that used to be aflower farm.
They closed down about 4 - 5 years ago and I was given permission to choose one field ( this one ) for flying. ( and now hunting )
I cut the hole in the fence last year, but didn't go guning there since I went guning in Ohio.
This year is going to be a different story, bow season here in Jersey, gun season in Ohio.
Here is another video of the deer coming through the hole I cut in the fence.
The second video is showing the same field with me flying my plane.
The whole field is fenced in, the videos of the deer are across the back section of the field.
If you look close in the 1st videos posted ( in the very begining of the videos), you will seea pole with ribbon on it that I haveto show wind direction when I am flying.
Flying doesn't seem to bother them to much, and they seem to be used to seeing my truck.
