God
I thought Id start one for us to share out stories this season!


Bow season opens in two weeks here so Im yet to "hunt" but been getting a lot of time in the woods. Planting, hanging stands, etc... I seen a bunch of deer on our fields Friday when I got to the lease. Didn't disturb them just check cameras and such. I managed to get two turkey egg killing bastages out of the way. 427 more to go.

This year looks really promising from photos and encounters with deer and turkeys so far. This is a new lease Ive got with two buddies and we are all pretty pumped. One is my best friend and the other is a close friend of ours also. We are the only 3 on the 400 acres and theres about 2000 acres of rarely hunted national forest around us. Praying for a great year and hope all yall have one as well!


Runs Oct 25th to Feb 10 here, come on cold weather!
 
Well it was a great opening weekend. We seen tons of deer and turkeys but none in bow range. Heading back up friday afternoon so wish us luck. Ill try and take some more pics next weekend.

Good luck!! My new Bear is in the mail as we speak....Guess I can join the brotherhood now huh?!

My old PSE has the same sight as yours I kinda wish the new one did as well vs. this 5-pin.....It can be a little tricky on an approaching victim but man is it easy to line up w/o all the crap in the way....

I love the HHA single pin and wont ever go back. I regularly practice to 85 yards and its spot on.



What new Bear are you getting??

The Legion.....I know I shoulda "flicked the release" on the Anarchy but it was twice as much and Im only upgrading from a mid-90's PSE...lol

My buddy was sponsored by Bear for several years and said you cant go wrong with any model so Im givin it a shot.
 
You wont regret it. I shot all the big names before I bought my Attack (the flag ship 5 years ago when I got it) and walked away with a Bear. Its the most dead in the hand bow Ive ever owned and deadly quiet.


My last 4 bows have been Bear. Their customer service is amazing as well. Just had the second set of limbs put on mine due to Bass pro shops' "tech" messing them up. Bear handled it no questioned asked.

Super quiet and easy draw were the two things that sold me on it.... I throw you some pics when it arrives:party:
 
One down, one to go......

My buddy put this one down the other day....thats 1/2 of our current population. If I hadnt missed the other during Bow Season we'd be done with em but maybe now its got the hint.....

Yea, these are the "dumb" yotes. I get others that show up from time to time that run the swamp edge but they dont hang around like these are/were. We have a large generation of Poults runnin around right now and thats what they were keen on and couldnt leave them alone.

Before we finally caught up with the one they had killed two poults and one fawn........unacceptable behavior. I dont mind a passerby but just dont hang around and start killin off my game.
 
I gotcha, didnt know how thick they were there. There are pretty bad here in certain places.


This weekend was nice as far as weather, seen a few deer but out of range as usual. Its taking some time to learn this new property and key in on deer without getting too close and getting busted.


Friday evening from a blind I sat up on the gas line in a food plot.







This was a spot I hunted saturday overlooking a swamp crossing. I really like swamps and its ate up with tracks from them skirting the edge of it.

Rifle season is a couple weeks out here and the nannies will start dropping for sure but I really hope to stick one with an arrow before then.
 
Nice man! Yea I like the swamp edge as well and here in south GA we got some for sure!! I also like were the hardwoods meet the pines.

In the meantime, feast your eyes on this guy Ive been chasin. Hes dodged me by an hour one morning, slipped behind a tree the next and ran out behind me so fast that I couldnt chamber a round fast enough or realize Id pee'd a little when it happened....

almost a perfect trailcam video.....

Yea ya think!! Man if that thing woulda been pointin a lil more right.....He's definitely the boss on that property. This is the third year he's been on camera. We never saw him the first two and we've seen him twice this year. Must be slippin in his old age.....I hope!!!
 
Well it took me a few weeks but I finally got keyed in on the deer movement a little better. Seen about 10 saturday between daylight and 12. I made my move around 130 to get closer to where they were crossing in a food plot. It paid off and smoked a nannerhead at 48 yards about 4pm. Not a huge one but the only one in range. Gun opens next weekend so there will be some bodies on the ground by 8am on the 21st.


Here my doe, she was only about 70lbs but fine eating.

I also decided after hearing some good things to try the heart for the first time. I slow cooked it with some tenderloin last night and other than the texture I swear you couldnt tell a difference. It was awesome. I cant believe I been throwing them out all my life!

Man that looks good brotha! Might have to try it....
Congrats on the takedown. Things have slow down a little here but will pick up again when the twmps drop a bit. Still mid 70's here....
