Just came home. Vaughn and I had a great day checking out a new piece today. He  let me shoot the Marriah while he had breakfast sweet bow! Alex called while I was there good to hear from him!  Boy oh boy I think we found a sweet spot!

hey tom, good to hear you too. i got to make it to pequest archery 1 day this week before i leave on friday. by the way, it looks like I'll be away every weekend until the last one in October.Show Biz! our weekends are Tuesdays and Wednesdays       . any of you guys hunt during the week?

I hunt during the week. Sal if you don't hunt the rain then I'm going over by Vaughn's place. Tom (bentpole), were you and Vaughn out in back? Guess I'll have to try out my old spot back there I don't mind rain.

I really don't like to hunt in the rain. To many things can go wrong.. I know more come Thursday....

Alex B. We have to get together again! I know your real busy Bud.  Jerry, no Vaughn and I checked out  another new piece that I came up with  [No sense scouting land you know already keep your scent  out of there, to close to the opener!]Let's see what happens weather wise for Saturday! If you hit them good you don't have to track them  far.  Hit 'em in the crease!

Sal while on vaction in mexico my eye got infected from bacteria in the water and from the infection there are scars on my eye which have caused perminant vission loss...doc said once its healed ill have to get new prescriptions for my contacts and glasses b/c the vision loss will be so drastic.

We'll see how bad it turns out in the weeks to come.

Tom, Chin Up young man! Hope to hunt with you this season! Alex, PVA is open today, Wednesday, and Friday , Plus the weekend.Bill and Scott don't have to much left Bud!

Deadbolt....should have to California...no difference and there you can drink the water.

Nope. I cleaned them out of their Gold Tip 3555s last week.

Tom, hopefully everything works out with your eye. I know how scary that can be - had a detached retina about 17-18 years ago. My vision in my right eye will never be right, even with glasses.

oh dont worry fellas ill be out there with one or two eyes!  you aint stoppin this gnome from dropping the string on some critters!

can't wait for the winter drives this year!

Sorry to hear about your eye Tom. Hope your recovery turns out better then hoped for.

Jerry, they dropped the chance of rain down to 30%. You still want to come down here to hunt? I'm putting more Tru-oil on my bow to seal it even better it is now 10 coats on it...

Hey Sal. Sorry, I think I'm going to hit a little spot behind Vaughn's. Turns out I'll only have a few hours to hunt because I have to head down to Bergen County for the afternoon. Vaughn's is much closer for me.  Vaughn and a few others going some other place. I didn't scout with them, so I don't want to be crawling around a place I don't know and mess it all up. I do want to try another time with you. May be we can get a better group together.

Vaughn, Is your brother -in -law going Saturday? How many folks are going to be on that piece? Too small for more than Three Folks. I have another spot I can hit in the AM . Please let me know. Bucky downloaded the permit but he can go elsewhere also.Vaughn you have to hit that spot we found for you! You will wack something!

Kool with me....


Eric I'll be hunting behind my house if You want to swing by around noon I'll be ready to go to sweet hollow with You.

Let me know if that's good with you?

Good luck, guys!

I'm hoping to stick one this afternoon in zone 19... 48# 50's grizzly and an an arrow that my late father used in the 70's & ww on the front end...

Cheers,

RHiNo

no luck... but the stump... er... groundhog hunting was great! I also almost sat on this little guy!



He got away...

So, how did everybody do?

I sat at my parents' house this morning with Lee. Mmmmmmissssssssssssed an easy 20 yard shot at a doe. I had to shoot over the rump of a fawn that was a couple of feet in front of her. I think I was a little worried about the shot, and put it right where I was looking - the gap between the fawn's rump and the vitals of the doe. About 3 inches too low.

Went to Sweet Hollow this afternoon - had deer in sight almost the entire afternoon, but none came any closer than about 60 yards.

Andrew and I went to sit one of my spots on the ground in zone 9. We got there on stand by 3 and spent an enjoyable afternoon together. We saw our one and only deer, a nice buck but he was at least 50-60 yards away moving away from us. No way to tell how many points but he was as wide as is ears. We made our way out around 7 and didn't kick anything up. We had a great time!
