Good Luck MI Hunters!
« on: September 30, 2012, 03:29:00 PM »
Heading up North to my camp for the opener tomorrow, I have several natural blinds spruced up and ready to go. Wood is cut and stacked so all I have to do now is shoot and sharpen heads, which is always relaxing around a nice fire.

Good luck everyone and stay safe!   :campfire:    :archer2:

I might be able to get in that action this year even.  Going up Oct 4-7.  I will at the very least shoot some tree rats so the ol man wont have to deal with them while he is after deer.
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

Put up safety lines on 3 stands today and put out some of my homemade lure. Hoping for success for my Michigan traditional bowhunting brothers and sisters!   :thumbsup:

Widoweater, funny you say that....I went Friday night to my Uncle Jacks place, shot 2 squirrels. I shot them on what we call "Bloody Ridge"....named by the OldTimer after my son and I killed 2 bucks on it the same day. I figure thats two less squirrels barking at me tomorrow night...  :bigsmyl:

Twas the nite before 10-1 and all through the State, Trad Archers were ready for that magical date.
Their broadheads were sharpened and quiver'ed with care in hopes that a "Booner" would appear,...unaware.

Good luck to those in the Mio and Luzerne area.  I have a lot of memories of our cabin near Red Oak.  Haven't been there for a long time as my travels seem to keep me away.  I always miss the opening week and how much fun that area is.  Miss the Au Sable too.

Kicked up one on the way in, and it has been rather slow.  surrounded with fresh rubs, and my camera 25 yards away will tell me the story whenever I decide to getup and move, but for now quiet and Sun feel awesome.

Wish I was out there, its a beautiful morning here in mid Michigan!!!! Good luck out there and be safe. Will be in the stand this evening with my Centaur in hand to see if I can break it in properly!!!!
May your arrow always fly true and your hunt be an adventure.
