Anyone bow hunting yet?

Anybody else getting an early jump on getting some fresh back straps in the freezer? we have been really working at our foods plots and habitat improvements this year on our land and the trail cams at showing a lot more deer Than other years. Some nice bucks coming around too....
I have been on stand twice this season so far and no deer seen yet but with 4 months left to hunt I'm in no real hurry. Who knows, Maybe this evening will bring me a change of luck..
Good luck to my fellow hunters this fall!:pray

Tomorrow I hope!:cheers2

Worked on stands and hunting areas today. Don't really hunt until mid October. Good luck all and be safe.

Got mine and my grandsons bows out and we have shot targets quite a bit. He has been going seeing deer but has not connected yet. I will wait till things cool off and the bugs slow down.

Good luck guys! We start Oct 1st and usually even first of Oct came be a little warm for me. We have had some cool mornings. Need Skeeter's gone for me to set.

I am ready but have not gone yet.

Well I haven't made it back out since Saturday morning. Too many house chores to be done. These cooler evenings sure feel more like hunting weather. Might get to go on Thursday depending on what my better half has in mind. Time will tell.

Somebody put some blocks out in a very good spot might have to watch them make sure no one steals them.

Spent the day setting up some new deer stands that my brother built for bad weather. Insulated, hinged windows, deluxe!

That's not a deer stand, it's a studio apartment!

X2!!

Went twice at Truman seen deer both times, got a nice doe. Need fish now before trying for another.

Pictures Jim pictures. We like pictures.:cheers2

Guess my like button is broke, thanks for the compliments on the stand... It will sure help on those cold rainy days. Too bad my dad and brother have first call to them.
Way to go on the slick head, minnowdipper. Nice to have fresh back straps.
Yesterday, I whiffed on a yearling doe on public land. Good thing because we were WaaY back in the woods. Would have been a 2 mile drag! Sure are a lot of acorns around already.

Got this off one of my trail cams last Saturday about 20 yards from my favorite stand. Answers a lot of questions as to why we haven't had a lot of deer on cameras this year. Conservation agent told us its possible its a male just passing through. I said it better pass on through or if I see it its dead. He didn't care for that answer.

Definitely need to cull that one from the heard!And it would look good on the wall!

Here kitty kitty kitty

Cool pic! Yeah, a passing male. I've heard that before. Seems like that's the answer mdc always gives. Sure are a lot of traveling male lions in Missouri!
Sure hope it moves on, for your deer herds sake.

Can't deny what it is. Thought I saw the back end of a bear the other about 1/2 mile from house. Was standing in edge of woods by road. It took off when I got closer in car. Black, heavy backend, bear shaped and no tail. The only thing it could be.

Few doe and small buck in range last night at 15 yards but hard to pull the trigger when its 80 outside. Just having fun watching.

Man still hard not to shoot when they are there tho.

Which is why I don't go until it cools down.
