Nope….maybe I should look into it. this is the only type of social media I do. I ve commented/started topics in the great outdoors in the past but not many seem interested.🤷♂️ bow season is the best time of the year….IMO….I see more deer because no one else around me bow hunts….

I put out corn in the field behind my house yesterday at 4:15 because my cousin finally got around to cutting and haying it. At 6:30 a shooter buck came out into the corn. I haven't ever seen a shooter behind my house (apart from spikes). LumRaiderFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvc184 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Between my possibly messed up shoulder and recovering from Covid, I don’t know if I will ever get to bow hunt again. Even if I got back into it, I don’t have a place to hunt anymore. But, I have taken several with my bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got two tall shooter 8s coming once a week and occasionally twice a week for the last 2 months and even better I ve got does coming more often than the bucks. For about the 8th year in a row I've failed to get anything ready to bow hunt. I keep saying I'm going to put a stand up behind my house, but I've yet to do it. I think mostly because I don't have much of a desire to kill any of my "pets", and all of the pigs are nocturnal, with it being a very rare occurrence that I see one in the day. When I do, it's only about 210 yds from the back porch to the tree line, and I knock down about 4 out 5 that I shoot at from the porch. As for my actual deer lease, it's all family and nobody else bow hunts. It's a 3 hr 45 min drive from the house, and my dad has about 2 1/2 hrs in from outside dallas. A big motivator for me going that far north is hunting with my dad, and he won't be up there until gun season. I don't really want to put in a bunch of time bow hunting when it would just be me and my uncle (lives there) hanging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to put in a bunch of time bow hunting when it would just be me and my uncle (lives there) hanging out. Understandable. i get all my bow hunting stuff in place by Aug 1st…. I bow hunt because my percentage of getting a deer is very high. Daytime deer at my place is pretty common up until rifle season and then they go nocturnal…..time change/rifle hunter pressure🤷♂️ Normally I would only rifle hunt a handful of times and it would only be during the week, but now my 3 year old son (soon to be 4) likes to go so I foresee us in the blind more this year. In the past I would send one of my two older daughters to the blind (weekend) with a library book and walkie talkie….if they see one they radio me and I ll walk about 50 yds up a small hill from my shop……about 160 yd shot….usually use a 270 but I just inherited m1 carbine from my grandfather, so I may give it a go. bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a buck with his nose to ground following 30 seconds behind a doe in my field. You ever see rutting activity this early? I’ve heard it happens sooner down here than up north, but this seems very early. We usually see ours around the 2nd week of November in NETX where my lease is.

Not sure on timing up north but bucks down south have already shed their velvet. Bucks start going solo and seeing whose dominant. that is a lil odd this early on. Maybe he s ready to get the party started😁 the peak is usually beginning part of November. bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have nt seen many shooters (meaty) this year. bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalBacker Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 I saw a small six point and a doe on Saturday morning in North Hardin County... nothing since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach 01 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Up until about 2 weeks ago, I was getting steady flow on shooter bucks almost daily. They were definitely moving around together. I had a small run of hogs for a few days in a row, and I have gotten 1-2 decent pics sent since. I saw a doe and a young nubber this past weekend, but other than that it has been dead for several days. Hoping the cold front moving in at the end of the week will get them moving around my area again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
