It's kind of ashamed that we are into hunting season most places and this thread is down three pages. I'd sure like to see what you guys are seeing when you hunt. Common, take some pics. My season opens next weekend. Till then, Im honing my shooting. Have a look.

Todays lesson in humility and patience. Im humble and he's still waiting. CK

I love seeing where you all hunt. I hunt public land in central VA...It's just not that dramatic compared to those out west.

I'm with you Curtis. Seems like this time last year this thread was staying at the top. I would check it with anticipation everyday to see all the cool pictures. It's a great way to share our hunts with each other.

I'll be posting my opening weekend pics later tonight or tomorrow after the morning hunt.

Turned the camera up to 20 power and now he shows up...These big Rosie bulls are much brighter and more "yellar" than the cows...We call them "Neon Bulls"...They really stand out in the morning sun...

 We watched them work into a little draw...A couple hours later we got on this bull.But in the heavy brush they chose to bed in all we saw was legs at 20 yards...

 December the late season opens for cows only...If we get snow that is a great hunt...

As always Bill, love that country!

CK, I can't figure out why you just didn't put the patented lilfedder sneak on that frog and just reach out an grab him....you movin through the brush reminds me of that disappearing alien in the movie "Predator"....

Heres a pic I snapped after the opening hunt Sat am. It was a very thick, tight little spot that the deer pass through on their way up out of the feilds. Either you shoot 'um at point blank, or you dont see nuttin'. I guess you can figure out which happened.   :(

I have been amazed at how often we see the deer right out in the feilds in broad daylight so I decided to spend the afternoon trying something a little bold.

Thats wheat on my left, a thick hedgerow on my right, and a huge stand of corn up ahead on my right.

 

The deer cross right through here a good bit so I thought I might catch one coming out of this corner of corn and into the hedgerow or wheat. (You can see more fields through that little break in the hedgerow in front of me). So I just sat myself down in the wheat right where it all comes together.

 

Had perfect wind, but all I saw was one rabbit, one beautiful sunset, and a beautiful end to my 19th opening day of deer season! A sucessful hunt for sure.

Only thing I saw Saturday morning was the mess a bear made out of my pig feeder:
 

Yogi's lucky I wasn't sitting my stand at the time...  can't shoot 'em (protected in Florida) - but I would've given him a stern talking to!!!

Santiam,

Looks like you have to be part goat to hunt there!  :eek:  

Great photos guys, keep 'em coming.

Hey Yohon,

 Its steeper than it looks...Hard to catch the hugeness of it all with just a few pics..

 I am done until the middle of November when the late seasons open....Will be posting pics of rattling Blacktails and snow tracking elk...( I hope)...LOL

Me too - he buckled one of the legs slightly, but all-in-all not as much damage as it could have been.
The bears have torn up several feeders - Chris Horseman's got the same type feeder and the bear buckled all 3 legs completely and ripped the mechanism off completely....
Guess that's what we get for hunting pigs in a place called "Bear Bay"......

Curt,

No, its not backed. It's 53 @ 28 and 59" ntn.   :eek:  

She lifted one little splinter at first but I doctored it up and she's been fine ever since.

Did I mention she's also faster than selfbows are supposed to be?   ;)  

I'm really not bragging. Beginners luck maybe? Couldnt have done it without a lot help from above and some excellent mentors!
