Topwaterspook Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 The bucks around here are starting to make rubs. We have two small ones on camera that are already clean of velvet. It seems awfully early to me. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 13, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 13, 2015 I was super excited about archery season. After several years of the main field I hunt being planted with beans, this year it's corn. Then Thursday night I set the hook on a fish and heard a crunch in my left (bow holding), shoulder. 3 days later it still hurts. Hoping it goes away before bow season 2 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 October 1 is opener here they changed up the laws again this year it's does only till the 15th which doesn't really bother me none. More doe tags also this year for my WMU already get 4 doe 1 either sex and 1 buck tag but more doe tags are supposed to be issued this year. I usually get excited and amped up for hunting season but not so much this year I backed out of a 900acre spot I've hunted for nearly 20 years. I'm just going to hunt my 3 acres behind my house I got 3 big does and 4 fawns that visit regularly. I'm a big coyote and fox hunter that's got me a little pumped but not as much as years past. Since I've learned to fly fish this year it's all I can think about is kings and Browns on the end of my line and they start running bout the same time as bow season kicks off which is also the start of coyote October 1 and fox is October 25.

Topwaterspook Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Clayton, I spent some time up at Ft Drum. If I lived up there, I'd be all over those fish. The Black River by Dexter has shown me some really great days. Good luck with whichever you decide to persue. Quote

I was talking bout hunting Ft Drum with one of my mortar guys but I just got out in August and can't hunt it anymore. Quote

You use muscles to draw a bow you don't use for anything else. I wish my shoulder was just sore. It's feeling a little better today though so I'm hoping it's healing up. Quote

I feel like an idiot. I dryfired my bow today on accident while adjusting my wrist trigger strap. A picture of my face would have been priceless. It was at 6:30 in the morning too, and it sounded like a shotgun going off. Thankfully after close inspection the bow and string are intact. SO thankful. I've heard of people's bows exploding before because of that. Quote
endless Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm looking to do some bow hunting behind the house. I got two young spikes, 3 does, and a fawn running behind the house. I don't like how see through the burlap is though. Quote

Topwaterspook Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Son-in-law was out walking the tracks this morning and ran into another bear. This one doesn't appear to be very large, Maybe 150 or so. It's the first one we've seen lately. It'd be nice to see ambling around our treestands. As long as it doesn't decide to climb up and say hello, that is ! Quote

Walking by tree ok, make for my tree the bear will be saying hello to my 357. Quote
