Seeing her with the youngsters makes it easier not to shoot!

In case you were wondering that is my BH in the first pic.

Bomofo sweet pics ! Celtic that would be cool to hunt together. I hunt three different spots around Pickerington. I used to hunt a farm in Carroll but not anymore... long story. when are you headed to Tar Hollow.

Enjoying spending time at home with the kids, but getting more excited to do some serious deer hunting in November! My guilt levels and cold symptoms are decreasing, so I am about ready to get out bow hunting again. Took two weeks off and feel good about getting back out, but I am hoping to bring something home this time!

3 Does this evening and a Buck in the distance. A sign of things to come

Mike,

You are killing me!

-Charlie

Man I am 0 for 2 so far. Been out three times had two shots and missed them both just over their backs                I've got to seal the deal asap cuz my freezer is empty.

Aaron       Pick A Spot!

Or are they dropping at the shot, AKA jumping the string? Hmmmm.....  

Sorry to hear it Aaron, but you will be ok. You made good last year and it is just a matter of time this year too I'm sure.

I told my wife I should go hunting this evening because I just had a "feeling". I walk out my door to go pick up some straw and there were two deer running down my street! The feeling was right, but my freezer is still empty too.    :(    

-Charlie

LOL ... you guys are right I need to concentrate more on a spot. I know that that is my problem. To be honest the first one was a straight up miss but the second one dropped out of the way. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining it's just that this is only my second year with trad gear and my success rate with the wheel bow was very very high... But I have not had this much fun hunting in years.

Charlie I was on stand for 3hrs in the rain and didn't see a thing. it still was nice to get some piece & Quiet. Mike

just weeks away

I'm already sweating the details of gathering all my gear and making sure I have everything I need.

Oldskool just missed out on getting a deer tonight!

Used a shotgun to putdown a big fox squirrel with my girls this morning. Had a blast sitting in the blind with them. It is amazing the amount of movement the little wiggle worts can get away with in there. They were sooooo excited!

I'm not packing just yet for the November trip, but all the deer activity this weekend has me ready to go. I'll be hunting down there soon, even before the official deer camp.

-Charlie

Okay, I lied....I'm ready to go pretty much right now. My mind seems to be completely possessed by thoughts of deer in the woods slipping around my favorite corner.

I'm going to have to take some time off to get down there and hunt. I just can't wait anymore!

-Charlie

buckeye_hunter went out to my spot tonite and seen several deer. NOW Charlie, tell every one why I turned down the 7 yard chip shot!

Sorry Rob, but the deer I saw was WAY smaller! It was maybe 40 lbs, still a small fawn. I was suprised to see one so small this late in the fall. It was so little it looked like they do right after they are born, but minus the spots. Seriously, it still looked gangley and had the big knee joints with the large tendon visible. At first I though a small/medium size dog was coming through.

Even I wouldn't have shot that one! Although, it would have convienently fit in my backpack.

-Charlie

has any one been down there doin any more scouting. or seen any down there. not to far away. if anybody is intrested in going next weekend. might make an extra drive down.

gettin closer

Still waiting on a Buck!
