Where you hunting in Jackson County? I live in Jackson Co. just outside of Brownstown. I was going nuts for October (had two weeks off for season)...I have five weeks of training now for my job so no October 1st opener or any hunting till the first week of Nov. Good luck in Steuben Co. and Jackson Co.

My father-in-law lives in Brownstown. Retired assistant manager of Jackson/Washington State Forest. I visit every two weeks. In fact, his farm backs up to the forest but I never hunt it except for squirrels.

Instead, I hunt near Attica Indiana with my best friend about 3 times (9 days total) each year.  The beans have been picked very early this year and by the time I get to Attica (mid-October) the deer will be heavily focused on acorns.

I'm hoping for a recurve shot at a deer like THREE I saw last year in Attica -- all were 145-160 -- the closest was 38 yards.

I grew up in Indiana so I know what it is like waiting for October 1st!  I started deer hunting in 1969 and went to Brown County every weekend for about 10 years there after. No deer were in Richmond, IN where I lived in those days.

When I get to Jackson county ill hunt a family farm that's west of the river a few miles, and probably head over to the state forest one day. I truly think that S. Indiana has some of the best hidden potential for monster bucks in the midwest. There are some freaks down there!

If the weather in early October is like this week, I’ll be target practicing instead of hunting.

Be huntin hard here at home in good ol' Pike county.

 Going north to hunt with John Scifres and a few other trad gangers for a few days the second weekend up around Brownstown.

 Good luck to all, and just for the record there ain't no big deer in IN.   :saywhat:

Should be in Putnam county first couple weekends, and maybe in Owen too.  Re-hanging stands this weekend for acorns and water.

I will be in Allen county when the season opens(even though I have an urban spot). Between working at an archery shop and having my daughter get married I have yet to have time to hunt. Plus I am waiting for it to cool down a little. I butcher my own deer so without a cooler I am hesitant to have one hanging when it is in the upper 70's & 80's. When I get serious later in the month I will be hunting in Steuben county.
