Hunting the Hard way
« on: October 31, 2023, 09:21:47 AM »
Got a late start on the season because of work. Was able to get a good sized doe last week and another freezer filler last night. Shot both with the San Marco Hillstyle longbow from the ground. The doe was shot with a POC arrow and Grizzly head the buck a 2 blade Delta on a Surewood shaft. Hunting a good funnel area and have seen quite a few deer. I got a few Doe tags and one more buck tag so I’m hoping for another chance at the 2 bigger bucks I’ve seen. Cold snap has got the deer moving and a scrape line 80 yards long appeared overnight were none were Saturday.

Sweet!  My kind of hunting!   :clapper:

That plaid shirt with the doe blends in perfectly!  Good shooting. 

I leave for deer camp tomorrow morning and hope to connect with another myself with the cooler temps.  Magic November! Maybe a fall turkey encounter as well.  Good luck!

 [ Invalid Attachment ] Quite a week. Shot a hog of a 9 point this evening. Surewood shaft and a 2 Blade Zwickey Delta and he went maybe 60 yards. Public land National Forest deer.

One of the hottest spots I’ve ever found. 3 deer in a week and a half and I’ve seen probably 15 total from the same spot. Been a blessed season

I know you hunt from ground but are you running a certain chair or just “roughing” it on a log or knees?
