The final count down for Indiana!
« on: September 28, 2013, 09:29:00 AM »
I'm washing hunting clothes, printing tags and double checking my equipment this weekend. Broadheads are sharp, My bow is tuned to whitetail killin perfection, and I have Tuesday off!

You guys with your early seasons have been killing me. I'm going take you guys along with some pics this season and hopefully my ugly mug smiling with a freezer donor or two.

Good luck and stay safe guys and gals!

I'm hoping to hunt Indiana (near Attica) a week or two with my best friend this year. He is recovering from cancer.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the well wishes Rob! I will have the 1st week off so I hope to get out several times. I like your posts. Can wait to see how you do this year.

Everyone who gets out on Tues morning should meet back at this thread for updates on opening morning "success".

Good luck Rob and other Hoosiers!  I was out back for some final broadband tuning and heard two shots from youth hunters (I assume).   Hoping the buck I am hoping to have a crack at made it past all the whipper snappers!   COME ON TUESDAY!!!

I took my son out this morning for youth hunting but didn't see anything but squirrels. I can't take any time off work during the week but I will be out all day next weekend. Good luck everyone.

We're almost there!

It will be a successful hunt for me if I can just get out and set up as planned. Can't wait to be on stand and watch the sun come up and nature come to life.

I won't hunt tomorrow but I am itchin' for Friday evening and the weekend as my brother and I have a mini-camp in Morgan County.

Got out with the kids this weekend.  Lainey and I struck out but James killed a doe Sunday morning.  I sat in a great area with my ghillie and had 3 does within 10 feet of me  :)
Take a kid hunting!

I was out where I wanted to be and when I wanted. I saw no deer but had a good morning anyway. I had no fresh sign under my stand that I was trying to stay away from to keep it cleaner.

I chose this stand because when my husband starts harvesting corn this will probably be the first field he does and I thought the deer would be less likely to show up without the security cover.

I won't be out tonight but I will tomorrow.

I had 4 within bow range and couldn't seal the deal. Wind got me on the first 2 and the second 2 was a large doe with a fawn that busted at the sight of my pack. I had put it down to put the sneak on the first 2. I sat all the rest of the day and didn't see anything else.

I did find some good trees dropping so I hope for some action Saturday morning.

I plan to get out on Sat. morning also but it will be short. I would have to be out of the woods by 8 am. We are suppose to have some rain early in the morning. Hope it makes the deer move as it passes and they move by me.

I was out last night. Stood in the "Clump", four black walnut and one shagbark hickory growing from the same spot with enough room to draw my bow. Drew on a squirrel without getting caught. I should have shot.

Just texted my brother in Indiana about the bucks I have been seeing in the greenway(city limits) of San Antonio Texas.  He is in the woods but nothing is moving this morning.

My son and I got out last weekend for youth season, we had three does come in to about 30 yards then drift away. We'll be back in there in the morning.

With the shift I am on, this afternoon will be my first time out. Warmer than I like, but am hoping the rain moving in will help me out. Good luck to all! Mike
