Trad Gang

When does your archery season open? The Archery season opens here in California in zone D7 on this coming Saturday, Sept.18. Kirby and I will be heading into the woods at first light Saturday morning. It's in the Sierra's about 7200 feet there. I can hardly wait! I'll be using my Habu VyperKahn, 2115 shafts and Wensel's. Where are you hunting and what equipment are you tradgangers using? Jim.

Oct 15 here in Alabama.  Changed the rules this year, 3 bucks perseason, at least one have 4 points on one side.  I can't beleive it, they are actually trying to do some deer managment in this state finally.

We can buy two tags a year here in Calif. Forked horn or better on one side. Jim.

Sept. 29th,here in Pennsylvania. I am hunting with a Treadway longbow, cedar arrows,and woodsman broadheads. This will be my first year hunting with a longbow, usually use a recurve.

Sept. 8 in the central peidmont of NC.  I am already loosing sleep thinking about hunting this year.  The way its going I won't sleep a wink the friday night before until I get on stand saturday at which time the biggest buck I've never seen will come in to investigate the chain saw like noise coming from half way up a tree.........

October 6th here. Several bows and arrow combos depending on what tickles my fancy that day.

Deer and elk opens Aug.25th. Hope it cools down a bit by then. I'm taking my new Blacktail recurve out to introduce it to some wild game! But just getting a RER Vortex longbow has made it a hard decision. If I could find a Thunderhorn BOA quiver used I might change the lineup!

TODAY!!!!! See Ya Later  :goldtooth:    :jumper:    :jumper:

GOOD LUCK, VANCE!  

Ours opens Oct. 1, runs til the second week of January, we can shoot 2 bucks per year and as many does as you want to buy tags for.

Wisconsin opens Sept 15.  

Due to the CWD situation, rules are quite in-depth and I suggest you hunt with an attorney. OK, they are not QUITE that bad but the rules are quite in depth and change depending upon which areas you hunt.  Read them first so you do it right and " go get em ".  

Good hunting everybody

In Jersey the whitetail season starts September 29th statewide but in a few zones as early as September 8th

September 15 in Missouri. Every year I make sure I am off for opening day and the second day of season, kind of a tradition.
Last season I was tagged and out of the woods before it became too hot. Two years ago I drug a deer out in 91 degree weather. Not fun, but after waiting so long to hunt, its all good...

Mom and I drove up to the cabin on Friday evening, Kirby got there a little later. Kirby and I hunted Saturday and Sunday. Not much going on in D7 zone here in Calif. A bit on the warm side. 80 at the cabin, 5500 feet elevation. We hunted between 7000 and 7500 feet and it was about 70 degrees.I was up around 9000 feet yesterday and it was probably in the mid to high 60's. Only saw a few does and 1 spike buck. I am going to try it again in a few weeks.
Kirby and I did have a "pine cone 3D" on saturday evening, using flu flu's with blunts. Pick a pine cone laying on the ground, 2 arrows each. Great fun!
Before leaving yesterday I spent several hours with mom picking wild Elderberries and Gooseberries. She makes delicious jelly from them.
We had a good time in some beautiful country, and as usual ate to much good food. Jim.

Never ends for me. Yotes are 365 day or night (except during the deer firearm season. Day only.) Gives me an excuse to hunt, even if I'm not really hunting. (scouting, stumping etc.)
