Nice doe.

I'm also not in favor of the early doe season but I'm going to try my best to get one! Always weird bowhunting with orange on.

Duckbutt, I have a Sitka T-shirt under the jacket with the sleeves cut off. :) It was in the 40s here this morning.
Good luck Josh.

I don't care that much for the early season, but this morning was 45 deg. and a nice time to be out. I do like the dress rehearsal time before bow season. Unfortunately, A mouse ran off with one of my fur silencers for my mojo the night before last in the barn. I had them off to wax the string. Now my bow is not tuned and the Lost Creek doesn’t have hunting arrows set up yet. Had to take the training wheels out. Got one hanging and a happy apple farmer. Oh well back to arrow tuning for the bow opener.

Our season doesn't start until the first of October, so I have a while to wait. That's okay though as hot as it's been here...mid 80s this week! I was just out practicing in a tee-shirt and shorts and still worked up a sweat. We had fall weather in July and August, now we have August weather as we head into hunting season. Nice to hear you're having hunting weather up that way.
Now it's your turn Josh! Make some meat in the morning.

I'm pretty sure LaClair is out tromping around the woods in his loincloth selfbow hunting the tree rats!
Post by: Dsturgisjr on September 18, 2009, 10:22:00 PM
Good luck with your nephew.
flungonin, this doe wasn't real heavy like some of them around here. Maybe dressed out 100# I'd guess.

This was a big one I shot a couple years ago.

Not familiar with the early doe season there in MI. Is it an early / any firearms season???

Originally posted by jcar315:Last year the Michigan DNR had an early gun doe season that ran 5 days…they’re trying to get the population down (your allowed to bowhunt with the proper orange). They decided to do it again this year and even though I’m not a fan of people blazing away before bow season in a state where hunting pressure is intense…I do take the opportunity to take my bow and hunt them the fun way!
Congrats!!!

It is a private ground only hunt.

At any rate congrats Denny...it looks like she will be some great table fare. How did you like the non-vented Woodsmans? Good performance and blood trail?

I did have a basket 8pt come into about 5 yards while on the ground tonight which was cool. He came unglued when he poked his head out of the grass and saw me crouched next to the fence row. Also saw a coyote walking down the edge of the corn. He came within about 50 yards but didn't make the turn down the fence row I was holed up in. I mouth squeaked several times but he never looked. Man, I would love to get a coyote with the recurve. Had a fawn walk right up to me in the dark on the way out as well. It kept pacing back and forth trying to smell me. I was pretty happy with those sightings tonight after the carnage I saw on Friday.
