Hope your son is doing the best he can.

Nice shot chris.

Mountain laurel. I can tell you it's not fun to drag an animal in that thick stuff. The positive, it's very easy to see fresh sign and game trails. They bed right in that stuff. I usually don't hunt in it but I got lazy today and didn't walk to my usual spot. Great bear terrain. I shot a bear a couple hundred yards away a couple years ago and that's all what is behind my brothers house that killed the bear Saturday.

Until I fall out of this tree I'm in it to win it.

Not sure why but I'm about to walk a half hour to a spot on stateland on top of a mountain in the rain and fog. What a hobby. Saw lots of deer on the 20 minute drive already feeding so there is that.

How dare you make that assumption! We have known each other since 14 years old, she knows I'm an idiot! This hooded monster doesn't control me.

Oh baby the morning of the eight looks good. But wait I choose to get married October 8th what a ****ing idiot I am. Headed to stateland for the first time tomorrow evening. It's suppose to rain but apparently that's the early theme of my hunting season. On a side note just from driving the area I think it's going to be a banner year for hunting. Lots of deer out

I just checked that myself. That sucks he use to beep when he drove by my house. Seemed like a nice guy not sure why he left.

Desertos is the only other option around here and they do say you get your own deer. Quaker creek is a superior operation though. I dropped my brothers bear off yesterday. Also desortos doesn't do jerky. Hopefully you snagged some pierogies at quaker creek they are the best!

You did a great job telling the story, almost better then the result of the hunt. Lol I do the same thing not looking the deer in the eyes I swear it works. Congratulations on your first bow buck it happened for you much quicker then lots of hunters, your doing a lot right. My first bow buck was September 29th, early season pays off with cool temperatures. I live literally 2 minutes from true life, had work done there. Expensive but good work, quick turnaround.

Such a cool picture. Food plot looks amazing I'm very jealous.

Went to help track straight from work just got home. He went 100 yards no blood but we found him in thick mountain laurel. That's an elk and bear in back to back years for my little bro.

Well my brother just shot a bear. Looking for a bear at night will be fun lol. Update waiting on permission to track. Thos what the arrow looks like. Just started to rain.

Btw the guy on the top right really likes his martini lol

Looks like a beautiful dinner John!

Awesome deer good luck. He doesn't even look old.

Two years in a row I get tiny black bugs that eat the leaves. I throw de everytime I can but they are tough. Not sure what I can do to stop them. It almost makes me want to stop growing them do to length of season, space required and amount they produce. My plants are the same size as yours. I'll take pictures soon and would love your advice, as your garden produces amazing results.

Just picked my last 2 watermelons. Brussel sprouts still need time unlike NYtracker mine are still small even though I started them inside from seed in March! Lots of peppers and butternut squash is close.

Well to my surprise I had an amazing hunt. Four bucks only one shooter and six to eight doe and fawn. Started with the four point in the first picture. The fawn in the second picture almost busted me so I decided to focus on hunting instead of photography. I won't shoot past 25 yards with my recurve so it takes a perfect setup to succeed. I had the four point at 20 yards but just to small especially this time of year. The last deer was a shooter 6 point that was 10 yards away from seeing his demise. I believe a bigger buck about 20 yards behind him in thick woods grunted to him and alerted him something was up. He took a hard right and walked the edge of the food plot but wouldn't go in. That was the end of the fun no more deer after that. But from 4:30 to 6:30 was a blast. Also something was up at the front of my property. As a guess at 6 o'clock from 150 yards away I heard a loud snort three times. Either the bucks were bothering the does or a bear or coyotes were hunting. Lots of bear pictures the last two weeks. By far the most deer I've seen in one day since I bought the 40 acre property six years ago. Now I know why the food plot is down to the ground. Decided to drive home tonight so I don't miss my wife's sonogram tomorrow.

Pretty sure I heard a moose in the distance, it's gonna be a bitch to drag out of these saplings.

Sat in the rain this morning and saw zippo. Cams are still slow. Sitting on the edge of what's left of a food plot now.

Somebody needs to explain to the deer on my property brassicas taste better after a frost because mine are almost all down to the dirt. Pretty dissatisfied with my food plot season.

Rain showers all day up at the cabin so I'm just heading up now. Radar says light rain in the morning so I'm bringing my rain gear. I'm only able to hunt wendsday then Thursday morning do to an untimely doctor's appointment Thursday afternoon but it will be good to be up a tree with my recurve. I'll sneak out and check a couple cams I have easy access to when I get up there. Cameras were very slow a couple weeks ago so hopefully I get some more action.

Well the weather is looking darn good! I think I'll miss Tuesday but should be able to hunt Wednesday and Thursday. After three days of rain and a 12 degree temperature drop I might sit on a food source. I'll be hunting recurve only for the second straight year. So far one recurve shot, one kill. Good luck to all that have the ability to get out. Hopefully I score the first buck of the year for the forum. Second gets no points.

Need more fertilizer SWEDE.
