Well Gang, Bow season for Whitetails is almost upon us. I KNOW all of you are ready right? How many of you are going to shoot Traditional gear this year? Or how many of you shoot a compound with a sight aid?

Sep 30'th is the first day for us. Me and a friend have a bunch of stands set up around his house, and I'll be ordering a climber within the next week. We've been scouting around his house and have seen a lot of signs. We also went spotting friday night and saw 50 deer, 10 definant bucks and the rest were either does or were too far away to tell for sure. We also saw a coyote which niether of us had ever seen before so that was a plus as well. I'm getting really excited already. I bought some new camo a while ago and it blends in really good where I'll be hunting. It's realtree hardwoods hd green. Well good luck everyone who's season has already started. I'll be waiting for stories and pictures of a monster buck!!

Hey ! Yep I'm ready for sure. I am shooting a compound with sights. Still new at it, but been practicing. Step-father brought over his 3-d deer target and we done some shooting. Got my automatic feeder up last weekend. First experience with one. Don't know how long the feed will last. It's a 6.50 gallon. I got it set on low dispensing and it goes off three times a day. I've gotta go check it shortly and see what it's doing and if it still has feed. I'm gonna try rattling this year for the first time too. Lots of new things to play with this year. COME ON OCTOBER 1ST !!! Good luck to ya'll, I'm looking forward to some good stories !

Well went up and checked the feeder. The deer had been there, looked as though they'd just found it. Saw tracks around , but still some feed on the ground. The feeder only had about two inches left in the bottom, so looks like will have to fill it once a week. On the way, through an open field ,saw a good size flock of turkey. Wasn't too far from the feeder, maybe they'll mosey through and give me a chance for a turkey dinner

Howdy Antler3 and Andy, With the drought as bad as it has been, A food sourse with water close by should be an excellent place to be. Good luck to you all and to you too Ron with your Crossbow. Those things are fun to shoot.

Special archery starts here in maine on Oct. 1st. This is the first year I am going to seriously try to get a deer with the bow. Hoping to get a shot at a big fat doe. We planted a food plot this year so I will see how that works out. I shot a bear last year with it and it was awsome. We have a choice of either shooting a buck or doe up here with bow so that is appealing also. Good luck Ron on your first hunt, hope to see a story posted up here the day after your hunt. Good luck to everyone and Godbless.

Well I am ready too. I will using my Bowtech compound and Muzzy broadheads. I have got a sweet spot picked out. I passed up a lot of oppourtunities last year. The freezer was still full of venison and pork from the previous season, so i "donanted my spots" to friends who had never deer hunted before. This time however my freezer has plenty of room in it. So be buck or doe , if it's brown it's going down.Good Luck to you all, Danny
