Two weeks I'll be in Kentucky for a Velvet buck hunt. I've never been on a guided hunt. I'm totally psyched, I've packed and unpacked at least a dozen times. Made lists and more lists. Shot at least 1000 arrows. Going with 2 bows a Treadway Blackswamp and an Osage selfbow made by Shaun Webb.
I'll keep you posted as things go.

Best of luck to you Lee
Good luck and be safe!
Good luck to you in getting your velvet buck.. some are starting to shed their velvet.
Were ya gonna be hunting?
Hope you enjoy a most splendid experience.
good luck and lots of pics :archer2:
Good luck and I cant wait to hear all about the trip. Have a great time and be safe.
I may hunt a little in Kentucky..only about 10 minute drive.
Will be hunting around Murray.
Best wishes on your hunt to the "Happy Hunting Ground".
Happy hunting!
Good luck! If you want some advice on packing make sure you got a Therma Cell!! The skeeters are horrible right now!
Best of Luck Lee!!
Good luck to ya. I'm working out that way right now in Paducah and just bought a house 60 miles from land between the lakes.
Thanks for all the well wishes. KyRidgeRunner I bought the ThermaCell Before I booked the hunt, heard the skeeters needed saddles in Kentucky.
Good luck, most bucks are still in velvet in early September. Might also consider spraying camo in premithrin or permanome (spelling?) as well as Thermacell. Let us hear a hunt report.
I can relate to the packed and unpacked routine
I've done it 2, 3 times today. good luck
Hmmm. I live 16 miles from Murray and the mosquitoes are pretty much nonexistent on my place at the moment. Face/eye flies are a worse nuisance to me.
Lots of deer and turkeys, not to mention squirrels.
I wish you good hunting.

Thanks, I'm getting used to thermacell scent. Been using it at dusk around home.
You ever notice that when you are going on a trip Mother Nature rears her ugly head. Last night a storm rolled through, now I'm a logger!
Good luck Lee.
Take lots! of pictures. That way you can give us a good story when you get home.
Good luck Lee. I had the pleasure of sharing a week out in Kentucky with former Bear rep Tom Lutz who posted above. Tom invited me out to hunt with him, and stay at his home in Western KY. It was quite an experience. I didn't harvest an animal (my fault), but saw things I had never seen before in Vermont. I got to see a small buck make a scrape,thrash a few small trees, and rub his glands on a branch. I also got to see the most funny thing I have ever seen while hunting. The corn was cut, and I saw doe feeding and sneezing from the stalk dust. Not only did I get to hunt, but I also was able to make a few new "Friends" one of them being Scott who goes under friend on this site. I had biscuits and gravy for the first time at breakfast. I can't forget to mention that the hospitality was wonderful. Thank you Tom, and family!! Lee, be ready; it's a whole new world out there from what it is in the east. Once again, best of luck!
Leaving in two days, all packed and ready to leave.
Broadheads sharpened ASAT packed both bows tuned and ready. See you all in a week. If I'm lucky I'll try to send picks from my phone. If everything go's right there will be a story to follow.
Thanks,
Lee
Been hot but supposed to cool off a little over the weekend. Might need sunscreen until then.
Best of luck.......
Best of luck.......
Just got permission for some property in Christian County, Ky. Looking forward to getting to know the property....
Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I'm leaving in an hour, see you all in a week. I'll attempt to send pics from my smarter than me phone!
