Stands are up, lanes are cut, mineral sites and food plots are in, cameras are up. Now just more shooting practice and hopefully collecting some nice pictures and a 5 week wait. I have had trouble with my camera's this year though. Hopefully I finally have them working right. Anyone else done ready and waiting?
I am just about ready. All my stands are placed. I put up a pop up blind last Monday which was the last stand to place. Trophy Rock has been in place for nearly two years and has given me a good idea of my buck inventory. Have a few small chores that are not really hunting related to do at my cabin site. But, hopefully they will be done in a week or so. After that the biggest chore will be the wait.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
Just put my primary stand up today. Cameras out and plot up/in since June. Waiting til the last minute to put my public land stand up. Best of luck. KB
coming down this weekend to make trails, food plots ( got a 45 hp jd with loader & 6 ft. tiller,...fun,fun ) also putting out a feeder for the first time down there....neighbor has seen 4 bucks over 170....when a local calls them HUGE i pay attention...have a safe weekend
not even close to being ready i have to get bow sighted back in as i had it turned up 8 pounds and shooting different arrows and still have to finish cutting lanes on one more stand and make a quite entry way into another stand any ideas on that would be great it is gull of tall grass and saplings
Is it the end of September yet? I feel like it's been September for the past 4 weeks and the outdoor channel is not helping constantly airing bow hunting shows.
well I am not ready at all, and really its cause I just don't have the motivation as in past yrs
minus doing the food plots, I more or less have nothing else ready
all the stands need trimming, plus a good 7-8 stands to hang , and none of my gear is dug out yet
I have shot some, but not as in past yrs
just don't have the drive anymore
don't even care if I kill a deer again this yr
will get out there but ?????
I will be checking the camera's again sometime this week. I will be posting any good pics if I get any.
Setting up next sat. Going to be on the ground most of the time this year with my son. We have a couple camera out just to take a look with some good results. Has anyone hunted out of a double ladder stand? Thinking about putting one out in a heavier traveled area.
I checked the camera's on Friday. The one camera isn't working very well but the other one seems to be doing a little better. I got a pic of a nice crab claw 10 point. He does look a little young though. I think he is 2 1/2, possibly 3 1/2. Once I get the pic posted you guys can look at him and tell me what you think. It is also just a profile pic (broadside view) so it's hard to judge what he might score. From what I see of him he probably looks two years away from the hit list. Also, I had a nice treat show up on the cam. I have a piebald doe. If I get a chance at her, she will definitely be taking a dirt nap. I will work on getting these posted. Also, this year I decided to try putting in some small food plots for the first ever. I planted them Aug. 24th. I checked them the same time I checked my camera's. One looks to be doing really well. The other one looks good in some spots and not so good in other spots. So far I am happy with the results.
