Hey Chuck,
Great to PM with you!  Forgot to ask you-Is Butch a trad man or a wheeler?  My son and I got out this afternoon.  I saw jack, but he got a shot on a spike, not much for blood, dark-30, so we're waiting til the AM.  Sold my Griffin this afternoon so I am set on shooting one with the K-Mag.  Still waiting for the chance. Ken

Butch is a "wheel man" LOL!!!!! He was actualy the first one of us boys to by a compound.(I was the last holdout LOL) We all shot recurves with aluminium arrows and plastic vanes,Savora and Wasp broadheads,Drilled holes in those beautiful old bows and put Kwikee Kwuivers on them..... You get the picture!!!!!

Maybe..... being as you live closer than I do,you could snatch him from the "Dark Side".....

Hope you guys find the spike in the morning  :pray:

The bears maybe, the 'yotes more likely.  

Now that I know I'll work on him (Butch).  I'll attack his masculinity and see if I can swing him.  Actually I didn't even know he was a bowhunter.

Too warm for my blood, I can't even get excited about going out again. It will be doe time as soon as it cools off some. I feel bad for the folks that are looking for their first, this weather is no help at all.

Traveled and hour this morning to hunt down in Westchester Co. in a spot most guys would sell their truck to get to hunt, I could see at least 100yds. in every direction now that the leaves are off...sat from before 6:00am till 11:00...figured "it should be an awesome morning"...

DIDN'T SEE SQUAT!!!!!!

Was busted by a doe and fawn this morning. I think they smelled me!  I still have yet to see an antlered buck. It was a little warm today but a great day to be in the woods none the less. I had two great people to share the day's hunt as well.  I still have yet to get a deer with a bow.  I hope next weekend proves to be fruitful. Good luck with the tracking.

You know Curt, I find it funny how often that happens.  I have found great places to sit with tremendous sign and never see a deer.  Sometimes I just sit to take a rest and see deer where you would least expect them. Gotta love Huntin'!

We looked for Sean's (my son) deer, but no sign.  Found the broken arrow last night 40 yards from the shot.  No blood on it, no blood on the ground.  It was a bad shot, 1/4ing toward him, he's only 20 and new to archery.  I think he learned a lesson.  I told him he will probably shoot that buck during rifle season.

As for me, I had grand designs on hanging a new stand today in a different spot, but ended up tearing out a woodstove, building a new hearth, and hooking up a new stove.  Not much meat generated, but quite a bit of heat.  I can't take giving my hard earned money to the oil company.

But come the snow you sure will be warm. I know we added a pellet stove last year and it sure was the best thing to cut cost to the oil kings. I was out in the morning for 3 1/2 hours and not a things moving, was warm and clear with sunny skies. Still not seeing a lot of the scrapes or rubs in the area.

What are you guys doing with this warm weather? Hunt closer to water? It stinks the weather was cold I even heard a buck snort wheeze in a brush lot. Now I think theyll rut at night but you never know maybe I need to go sit next to a creek.

Had a good morning this morning. My wife told me we only had a roast or two left and that I needed to get a deer. She is very specific that I'm not to shoot a big buck. I'm a very obedient husband. I actually had a nice 8 pt within 35 yards and moving my way when I shot the spike that was 15 yards away and perfectly broadside! The buck was probably a 2.5 year old and only had 6" G1s and wouldn't hit 100" total so he needed some time. He was scent checking the two does in the field this morning. My new TimberHawk Falcon T/D longbow went into automode and knocked the top of the heart off the spike. He ran down hill (of course)and died within 35 yards. He is a nice heavy deer and will be great eating. Just as I was getting ready to get down a large mature doe starting moving my way. She went to the EXACT spot where I'd just shot the buck and stood perfectly broadside while munching an apple. I thought my lovely bride will be really happy with the young buck and loves to eat a doe as well. I couldn't stop the longbow from reaching full draw and it sent an arrow just where I was looking and the double lung shot put her down within 25 feet of where the buck was laying. I had them both field dressed and in the truck before 8:15 AM and I made it to work by 9 AM. My wife was happy with the meat hunt! I still have a DMP tag and will be heading to Indiana on Thursday. I hope my longbow keeps shooting as good as it has. Has to be the bow, because I'm a lousy shot.
