We have had a couple of 50 degree nights here on the Cumberland Plateau now and the Poplars and maples have made the change almost overnight. We have to wait till the 25th for deer but will try to go after the skwerls soon. Need a rain to quieten things down a bit.
Don't know what the strings are made out of on Hope and Faith, but WOW, not stretch at all ! Got both of them shooting well bareshaft. Braced at 7 1/4. Hope will be shooting Carbon Express 150's with WW's and hammers for small game. Faith will be shooting POC woodies with 160gr Treesharks and hammers for small game. Heading to grown up clearcut today to trim shooting lanes, entrance ways, and hang stands.

Tic toc on my November date with Ms Hope!!! I have a farm that I am leaving alone except to keep violaters out. I already have some trail cam pics of a few good deer that are lining up for dance with the right-handed beauty. My plan is to hunt the other two places I have to hunt and leave the November deer hole open for Ms Hope...41 days until we hunt

Opening day has arrived finally ! These are from yesterday evening as Mason and I headed in behind the house to our favorite split maple tree. It has three prongs and we are not going to be able to hunt it out of our Summit Vipers much longer, too big ! When we are up in the forks we are hid good. This tree has produced for us each year and hope it does this year. If not we will move 100yds to the bluff in our forked red oak where Mason smokepoled a good 8 point during the rut. We have taken several deer from it too over the years.

Here we are settled up in the split maple with the girls. Been very long hot summer here for us, just last week we were still seeing 95+ degree days with no rain for about 3 weeks. We are 11" behind on rain. Acorns are dropping like crazy and this stand is loaded with white oaks. We have had some years that this tree is a morning spot and others where it is a evening spot. Just have to hunt it a few times and see what they prefer that year.
Mason is 14 now and it seems like yesterday he was 7 and had taken his first deer. I still remember his legs shaking when he was climbing in his own Summit Viper at 9 years old on the same tree above me. I had to nudge him in the butt a few times with my upper bow limb to get him a little higher. I also remember five years ago on this trad journey when after only a year of trad shooting he told me to sell his compound as I was selling mine. We sure have enjoyed it so far and hope we have many more seasons ahead.I sure am proud of him and the time we get to spend together in the woods each fall. I have done my best to teach him the ways of the woods and life lessons along the way. He has learned tons from all the good folk on here too ! I often ask him if he will take me huntin when I am old and need him to help me, haha !
Guru, this pic of Miss Faith's missiles is just for you ! That big ole 160 Snuffer looks awesome out there doesn't it ? I had a wonderful time sharpening them and mounting them. I had traded Brother Chris Surtees 3 WW's for these 3 Snuffers a few months back. Chris, hope you said a mojo prayer over them before you sent them to me as I did your WW's ! After they came off the 16" mill bastard I stropped them on my wooden block with leather that Brother DW had made for me and my calves are slikcer than my wife's ! Never could understand why so many complain about not being able to sharpen 3 blades.
