Title: I Think This Is The Year......... Maybe.........
Post by: mcgroundstalker on August 31, 2010, 02:43:00 PM
I've been at this trad stuff since 2002 and love it all! Did not put any big game down yet but I'm still gonna give it my best this season. Had many "almosts" so I know it's a matter of time. Don't care much for tree stands or store bought blinds. Stalking and still hunting blows up my skirt. Wish Me Luck! Gonna need it.

Good luck.  I'm also looking to score my first trad kill.  I think we both will get ourselves "on the board" this year.

I am feeling that it is about time to kill something, too! I go at it like Mikey, on the ground and playing the wind.

I am wishing you luck, buddy, and hoping that the deer spirits will gift you for your perseverance.
It always feels to me as though I have been accepted into the Whole of Creation, and the purity of my heart rewarded, when a deer gives itself to me. I hope that you will feel that this year.

Good luck buddy...and quoting your Longbow Idol, Little Woodie..." You need to spend more time in the woods, be able to hunt in all kinds of weather." " Spend less time on the couch and more time in the timber."    :thumbsup:

I've been shooting trad my whole life and finally got old enough to deer hunt in 1998. Since then i've only taken two deer but loved every minute of time spent out there!

Keep your skirt down and your spirits up!  Whatever you do dont hunt next to Ron or you definitely wont see anything.  I mean c'mon you see his stats?   :confused:    ;)

Don't feel too bad.  Trying to stalk and kill whitetails in the eastern woodlands is very difficult.  I admire your dedication.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Deer hunting is overrated.  I'm going to be squirrel hunting, if I get a shot at a deer while I'm at it, so much the better.

Small game is where it's at my friend...  Anyone can shoot one of these big dumb goats.

Keep the faith Mike. Get out as much as possible and it'll happen. You are always welcome to hunt with us in NJ any time.

That is some good stuff Scott! LOL.

Mikey, I hope you do. That would make my year my friend! When you need help dragging, let me know. I will be there.

Hunt the wind, hunt slow, and shoot straight my friend.

Good hunting, the more time you spend in the woods, well you know the saying.
