Every morning you'll hear them coming out of the trees. Almost every hunt last year I saw a turkey while in the stand

I too want to learn the ropes of turkey hunting but have gotten frustrated trying to figure it out.. I have invited a friend who I go to church with to come go with me. He has killed many before but the three times we went, were unable to locate any and walked around for a couple hours and called it a day.

Well guys, it's almost here. I wish our team the best of luck this weekend. I learned the hard way 2 years ago about wearing a harness, after a trip to the hospital and dealing with a broken ankle for weeks. If you don't have a harness I have 2 extra I will ship to you if needed. Let's kick some whitetails boys

Got word the other day that our lease is going to be thinned heavily on about 85 acres of a 450 acre tract. These are huge mature pines. Are planning on getting in next week and may only take 1 possibly 2 weeks to complete.

I have looked high and low for my HSS. Can't find it anywhere. Reckon I'm gonna have to dig out the old ones that came with my trees Tanda and figure it out. Bout to pack all my stuff up, load the truck and head to Selma.

Good luck tomorrow guys

Good luck boys. Got the baby to sleep. And about to hit the hay. Let's get on the board in the morning

Be safe and shoot straight. Got a lot planned tomorrow and may be Sunday afternoon before i go.

Got us some points on the board. They sure we're moving this afternoon. It was by the grace of God I found this deer. She had run almost in a complete circle and I was walking back to the truck when I stumbled upon her.

Congrats my friend. Would lover to hear a detailed story of your experience when you get time.

Awesome! I had seen 3 in the afternoon but had too many limbs in the way, 35 yard shot. I hope we get some this afternoon

Sweet. Congrats

Thanks. I was heading to a spot I always bow hunt at some point in time during the season. On one side is a small field with sawtooth oaks in it and on the other is a small power line with a lot of laurel oaks that are loaded this year. Can only hunt it on a south or east wind. I eased on in there at 2:30 and there was a small 4pt with a doe standing under one of the laurel oaks. It took me about 30 minutes to crawl to my spot on the ground. They both bedded up just out of my sight but I knew they could see me if I was standing up. I finally got situated and at about 4:30, a big gust of wind came up and I could hear a bunch of acorns hitting the ground. I waited about a minute and then hit the grunt twice. It wasn't another minute then here they come up to the tree. I drew back and was shaking so bad I couldn't get the bow back in time. I had to sit there and watch em for a minute until she finally stepped in the shooting lane again. This time I was able to get the bow back with no problem and it was a 20 yard shot. I hit a small dead vine that was in they way. It was about the size of a small stirring straw. It was big enough to deflect it down just a tad but not enough to miss her. She ran 75 yards and didn't have much of a blood trail at all. I had just about given up looking for her when I decided to take the long way back and she was layed up in the middle of a dried up slough. I was tickled to get her. First one I ever killed and recovered on opening day of bow season.

That's awesome. My deer have all of the sudden decided to go completely nocturnal since Friday so I'm trying a spot I set up today. A lot of deer poop acorns

Well how did it go?

Got set up in my climber yesterday evening. Had 2 small basket rack bucks come in together and they eventually walked off after 30 mins of muching on the acorns. Had a pack of does trot down the ridge beside me at about 40 yards, couldn't get a clear shot. It was a good opening weekend of seeing deer, but the bucks were too young for me to take. Now if one of them slickheads would've been 10 yards closer it would have been game over. I've got some land right 5 mins down the road from work im going to check on this evening and hopefully be able to slide in there one or two days this week.

Seen a couple spikes so far one small 8 hunting a sub Divison today the old women said the deer have been eating there flowers said she seen about 10 yesterday at dark so gonna try to take them out

Will try and slip away Thursday afternoon for a few hours. Not sure about Saturday yet. Kids have got games Saturday morning and may wait and go Saturday afternoon.

Well boys, looking like i'll be in the stand Friday and Saturday all day. The temps look good, moon phase looks good. Checked on a spot at a property I haven't been to in a couple of months and it paid off. beaten down deer trails all through a hardwood bottom where I hung my lock on at several months ago. Didn't get too close, don't need my scent in there.
