Knives are sharp, broadheads sharper, shooting is honed, pack is loaded, and today my wife is living with my 1000 yard stare because I have three straight days to hunt in Kentucky with my Palmer Recurve starting tomorrow! I have glassed a big buck in velvet there 2 weeks ago and hope he walks into my shooting lane. Exciting day and I am like a kid at Christmas!

Michael,good luck & hope you get your velvet buck......it's been dead here pretty much all summer as far as seeing good deer but some nice ones starting showing theirselves this week & it couldn't have happened at a better time...I'm off for a few days & can't wait to get after em.....Good Luck to all the Ky hunters...

Whoo Hoo, deer, deer, everywhere deer. I am seeing tons of does, big fawns, small bucks running everywhere, and so far 5 bruisers! I have to work tommorow morning, huntin the afternoon, evening spots mostly anyhow. The wife and I are both fired up, she hunts too. 4 weeks and we are going elk hunting, she drew a bull tag in the first rifle season, seeing tons of them, literally! Good luck to all you other KY boys, let the games begin!. Sam

Yeah guys good luck, I'm pumped and ready for tomorrow.

Shoot straight

I am ready leaveing for kentucky tommorow for five days

Good to see all the attention paid to our KY whitetails. I saw something rather "different", (for lack of a better word) when I read wapiti792's post about coming to KY to deer hunt. I noticed he's from Illinois and he's hunting whitetails here! Now that's saying something when an Illinois deer hunter chooses KY for some of his hunting when he lives in arguably one of the top 5 whitetail states in the U.S.! I already knew KY is fast becoming a top trophy whitetail state and I believe we're being noticed by others as well.

I gotta work tomorrow but I plan on going after I get home in the evening. I believe there are some decent bucks where I hunt because I haven't killed one since '04 and I don't think anyone else has either and I've passed on or had missed opportunities on some very good ones over the last few years. So they should be ready for an arrow by now for sure.

Best wishes this weekend to all of my fellow Kentuckians and to the nonresidents as well. Remember to post pics!

Good luck fellas. Don't forget to take some pics.

Man are you guys lucky, gotta wait till Oct 4 here.

I got to spend the opener WORKING...  Hope you all had some good luck!

Got up in my tree at 4:45, got down at 6. Wind wasn't cooperating. Southeast wind tonight though so hopefully a better evening.
