That is so cool!

Great bucks all. Had a great opportunity Sunday afternoon. Long draw back, buck fever and tunnel vision. Hit a twig or made the worst shot every. Huge loud noise on impact. Buck didn’t move much. My heart sunk as I noticed blood on his rear leg. He moved slow and wondered what happened. Another buck near by didn’t spook either. Waited and got down to find my arrow and no blood. Arrow was waxy, broadhead all bent up and rear end of arrow missing. Walked a little and there was a decent blood trail but it dried up. Looked again Monday in daylight and found nothing. Plan to go back this afternoon and hunt. Bow is on. Low expectations but gotta get back at it.

Nice deer. Congrats!

Ya always seem to be one day off or more. Saw nothing yesterday am. maybe its the grass is greener thing or just rather be hunting than working.

Snuck out after work in the light rain into a hut. Put my bow in a plastic bag. Stopped raining for the last hour. Saw some deer just before shooting time aka dark. Buck was busted up down to the main beams but did a 180 to a grunt and circled down wind. Fun when a call makes a difference. lots of leaves fell. Whole different woods from Sunday. hope to get out in the am too.

I had all my under garments in a wegmans bag upstairs in the house for the morning. Woke up and it was raining so chose to sleep in. Through the bag in the garage. Wife thinks its a bathroom garbage and chucks it. Don’t find it and realize it was probably in the tote until after garbage day.

Nice deerz! Thought this am would be at least ok. Saw nothing, 1st skunk of the year. Makes seeing and having a chances at deer all more special.

Super cool and tasty

Great fishing. Perch look huge now, can’t imagine how big they would look when they are full of eggs.

That sucks especially that he knows not to.

Bummer. Seemed nice outside and I like after the rain stops. last night was slow too. Only bumped a spike walking in, then nothing. Drive home and they were all over the road.

Looks like they are going to open up the pipes on the Long Pond channel bridge project Tuesday 11th. The pond is almost 2’ higher at 246 and the lake at 244. Wish I didn’t have to work as it could be pretty interesting.

Where do you get the coosa board?

Lots of pictures the last two nights with bucks fighting all night. Think they are trying to get broken before the season starts and they are smiling on camera.

Super cool. You drag lures and decoys?

Can’t believe its a week from Saturday! glad to see this thread, let the fun begin.

Ill take lot 2 for sure

Super cool.

What is it plankton?

Nice job. On my bucket list to fish it.

Nice job. Especially that late at night. Always love the drive in. Especially with a 75HP.

Pretty breezy and only could get out near 120 before it was a little too sporty. fished 60 to 120fow and had cold water in 60fow on the way out but nothing on the way in. Ended 6 for 8 with 2 browns and one mature king. King came on a minion flasher and meat rig. Skippers tied up a few spoon lines but all looked ready to go for a swim and we checked rods a lot. even the bigger king revived and swam away good. flasher fly got nothing. brown trout looked normal, no nuclear. Hope it tastes as good. fleas were not bad at all. Flies were so so. Supper fun trip!
