Good Hunting!

Good hunting! What's the rig?
-
These two showed up on my NZ lease on days nothing else did. 20 & 25 yards. Two days later Sunday morning I got a Doe. Northern Zone Bow hunting seemed to take alot of time & patience compared to last year. It pays to be stubborn sometimes. It's going to depend on the area but I think generaly the herd density is alot less then the SZ, challenge accepted. We'll see how it goes next year with a better plot plan etc.

Good hunting. How long did he trail out? Welcome to the forum btw.
-
Slightly better pic of the doe in the day.

Can't edit an older post so here's a daylight pic before more work starts. SZ opening weekend Doe #2.

This reminds me of the time I hit a good wma spot and at first light spotted a gut pile 30 yards.

Squirrel hunting... Waterfoul... Fall Turkey... My ass - it's poacher city in some places and we all know it. If there was surplus ceo's I'd invite one out to camp just to sit & listen opening week - free coffee. Getting phone coverage out there soon enough, at least I can get them on speed dial. -
Usually nothing and let everybody else making to much noise and stinking up the county drive them my way.

So this is a SZ thread ? Saturday morning before shooting light I'm in my stand and a huge deer is 15 yards behind me, fairly certain it was a doe but it didn't stick around for enough shooting light so could see any twigs or branches, at one point it was 25 yards broadside - it walked. Before 8am a pair of does passed 40-50 yards out then spooked up on something and reversed course. Sunday morning I passed on a 4pnt, Sunday late hunt about 6pm I let the wind out of a nice doe.

Nuttin wrong with that - good hunting.

Good Hunting guys. Here's doe #2 SZ opening weekend.

Saw this thread and thought - 'how's that possible the seasons just getting started'.

Last year 1st score & the buck was in the rain, just sayin`. Not a heavy rain or storm, but about 6 days straight of frickin rain.

I'm constantly reading that old school book "Between the leaves, trees & shrubs".

Thanks for the comments guys. I tried to point out some of the work involved. I swear following a bloodtrail pumps up the anticipation, almost like the moments before the shot. I mean we wait all year to do these things, it's awsome! wdswtr my NZ lease is in the Williamstown area. The poison ivy; funny thing I used to get that alot, seems my system just doesn't care anymore - or most likey when I'm working there I always wear long sleve, gloves, usually

Doe I scored 10-9-11 on the NZ lease. Did a video on the bloodtrail. I love bloodtrailing, these are a few of my favorite things http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5msA-10tXw

11pnt WMA 7M 12ga smoothbore 7 pnt WMA 7M Rifle Taken some of my best birds out of the same area, including calling in my son's 1st. -
No nicer way to say it - I love a good COC head.

I looked into the ripshot, still considering it. Looks as if it would take the agitation off the wrist / carple tunnel. And if I'm not mistaken you can adapt most releases.

Sunday morning 10-9 slickhead. PSE LiteSpeed - radial x weave - muzzy 100 gr phantom Doe was in and around the clover plot before shooting light. I got into my stand about 20 minutes before shooting light and next thing I knew the doe was hanging around. 25 yard shot.
