Bow season

    Our bow season opened last Saturday. I had pulled muscles in my back, so I didn't go. All this week, I let it heal up, waiting for today. Get up this morning, and it is pouring. Weather was supposed to be cool and cloudy, no rain. I usually love to hunt in the rain, but as I get older, no dice. This afternoon , it is going to be sunny and a lot cooler. What really surprised me, is no one is in the woods all week. I usually see trucks on the side of the road or back in the woods. Took a drive back in the woods a few times this week, and not one truck. Tons of deer, just nobody hunting. My hunting buddy said it is like a ghost town back in the woods. He killed a nice 9 pointer yesterday. Less and less hunters every year for bow season. I guess it is a dying sport anymore. I'm going to hunt my buddies farm tonight. I strictly trophy hunt during bow season, until the last week,Then I will take a doe for the freezer. We don't shoot anything less than an eight pointer in our area. Let the little ones grow up to be nice mature bucks. Oak

    Good luck tonight Oakie.....I have been out a few times since the season opened here in MO two weeks ago. It has been way too warm most of the time. I have passed on some does and have only seen bucks at a distance. Last Thursday evening the weather changed and it was cool out. I saw lots of does with fawns, but no bucks. I had two young yotes within 15 yards but decided to pass on those also....


    I know two folks that have arrowed nice bucks so far. i am looking forward to a change in the weather this week and hopefully I can get out there again...

    Open here in wis too, but I do the opposite. I let the bucks go for the kids, and shoot nice tender doe for the freezer.

    Its 90 degrees here and the skeeters are really bad in the woods. Deer hunting would be miserable unless you were doing it from your porch.
