Sunday evening at about 7pmish here in Asheboro I had a big buck run across the road in front of me. He came from a wooded area and was headed into another. He was about 1/2 a mile from gamelands I hunt. Not really a gauge, but, prior to that I saw a small herd in Eagle Springs, which is in the sandhills area west of Pinehurst. The herd was feeding in a soybean field. That was at about 6:15pm. A waxing new crescent moon was shining in the southern sky.

Around here the muscadines have already fallen and acorns are sporadically falling. Soon they will be raining down. We have had little rainfall in my area.

Went out yesterday and finally hung a couple of stands. Also, checked the cameras and discovered we have a couple shooter bucks in the area along with a few future prospects. Going to go out next week and see if I can get lucky on.

I finally harvested my first deer with a traditional bow on the 18th......a yearling buck.  Not a trophy by most seasoned hunters standards, but it was rewarding to me since I'm not a long time deer hunter.  
Shot him from a pop-up blind at the edge of a small apple orchard at about 12 yards.  Hope it will be the start of more to come.

I didnt get to my deer stand or to check my camera tonight. I killed a hog 100 yards from the car on my way in. First bow kill. Did not know we have hogs on that mountain.

I can't wait to get back home to deer hunt. It was 38 degrees back home this morning. I have been in Florida working hurricane claims and have not seen it cooler than 75 degrees anywhere, other than my hotel room.

People turn them loose around here purposely. She's definitely not the wildest of hogs. Someone on the other side of the mountain probably let a bunch loose.  We put a feeder up there so we can try to eradicate them from this property before they get comfortable.  This is our deer hunting mountain...we already have a hog hunting mountain.

Well, went out this morning and had an encounter(s) with 4 different bucks. Ended up giving one a haircut at a very close range. I am finding out the hard way that hunting with a longbow out of a tree stand has a learning curve as compared to using a shorter recurve.  Anyway, still a lot of fun.

I made it out yesterday evening and had a run in with a decent buck, but he didn't offer me a decent shot. Its disappointing th have him at 10 yards without a shot. He stayed quartering to me, facing me the entire time.    :knothead:

My son and I went out on Saturday on public land; he really wanted to arrow a deer and for several reasons I did not.  I even put him in the "best" spots to increase his odds.  Guess who had deer around him both times, including a nice young 8 point broadside at 15 yards for a few minutes, that I walked right up on as it carelessly grazed in the tall grass?  It was hot and I just wasn't in a killing mood; maybe the deer could tell I was harmless?

Took a small 4 pointer last weekend. Got an old bruiser round here somewhere on my land 10 pnt best I can tell, coloring says hes been around several years. Had him in my gun sights last year while looking for some coyotes, would've been an easy shot, then decided he deserved better. Only caught glimpses of him this year but I got a broad head with his name on it.
