Alright opening bow season has came and gone, who connected with the
venison? here is a pic of my opening day harvest. The bucks aren't moving much during the day and the acorns are starting to drop.

All I saw was bucks, Had a 4 point follow me around the entire weekend. He first crossed under my tree about 12 yards and the next day he came to a diffrent feeder at 20 yards. Had a young six point at a feeder too. They were both young and dumb, but they did give me some practice at drawing on them. My buddy saw a diffrent six point that was too small as well. I did miss a pig from a ground blind that was walking away from me at 40 yards. I had him pined at 35 so I just under shot him.

We thought we would make a meat haul with a couple of slick heads but never saw one. We did get some inspiration from one of the game cameras. A BIG 8 or 10 point. I will spend the rest of winter hunting his wide rack

Nice CAB! Oh and congrats on the deer.

Is that your dog standing? Or did you let one get away?

That's my blood trailing dog, he's young and still in training.

I like your methods. Now I have another reason to take one or both of my "best friends" in the field with me. Although my wife has our dogs so spoiled I don't know if they'd recognize prey if it doesn't smell like Alpo.

I am heading to Mississippi in a couple of weeks to bow hunt there. They have a Weimaraner there that is a blood dog. Darned good at it too. I can't wait. I had some really nice come near me last year but just a little too far for the bow.

I was in the same boat shorts and snakeboots, man it was hot. Killed a 4' rattler right at camp.

Here is a pic of a Rattlesnake crawling towards a buck at the feeder,
makes for a nervracking blood trail at night.
