Happy to be part of the team! This is my first year in the contest.
Would love to hear where you guys live and any additional states you hunt in?
I live and hunt in PA - mostly the state forest mid-state but also hunt September in MD and hunt the rut in Ohio.
About to spend every morning this week walking around looking for deer and acorns
I'm finally able to do some scouting now that I'm 'free to roam'.
There are acorns everywhere this year. Tonight veered to my left a little to check under a giant white oak righton the edgeof a nastyswamp, the ground was just covered with acorns. There was 1 set of deer tracks under that tree...
There's soo many acorns the deer can eat as much as they want - anywhere they want.
Yesterday I took a walk back to an old homestead that has a bunch of apple trees around. It was pretty much the same scenario, tons of apples and nowhere near as many tracks as I would have thought.
Most years when there's a good crop of apples back there it looks like a pig pen under those trees.
I'm glad somebody has acorns. They are pretty thin everywhere I've looked so far. Persimmons are completely gone. Not sure what them boogers are eating but judging by the numbers I've seen on the roadside heading the the launch they're getting hungry.
Added 5 more for us this morning. Had the craziest morning I've ever had in a saddle. I lost count of the deer I saw. I was surrounded for well over an hour, my arm started getting sore because I never had a chance to put my bow down. Finally, shot this gal while sniffing my arrow from the one that ducked 20 min earlier.

Pretty sure that cancels out to zero…….
Yo back off my teammate man, still meat on the ground. Take your business back to team 14 hahaPretty sure that cancels out to zero…….
Pretty sure you only lose points when you miss with sights. Dust off that crazy long recurve you have this year and you'll see what I mean.
it’s seen the woods twice. Just walked in with it, in fact. Had 2 does at 22yds, but 22 recurve yards might as well be 100 right now
Opener in some parts of Alabama today. Riding up the road to hunt that zone this evening.
What sucks is I've seen a decent little buck twice on the same oak tree. No telling if he'll be there 2 weeks from now when our season opens locally. :/
I got 6 tags. A buck 10 minutes from my house that can't be bothered to hide deserves killing.Good luck!
I thought you were gonna try trophy hunting this year?
Stop thinking about the "decent little buck"...
