Team 6!

[michigandrake]

I am almost ready. Drying out the saddle and backpack from a good cleaning. Full dress rehearsal this weekend. Shot great out of the saddle in full gear. Washed and packed my early season clothing and kit. Got a cold front forecast wth some east wind the first weekend ....... life is good.

Well, Got everything washed, sprayed down with permethrin, backpack loaded with stuff I probably wont need, sticks, saddle ready, shooting 3 inch groups at 25. got my Primary A spot and secondary B spot mapped out in case there are 300 trucks at Primary A, I just need to get my head on straight. Im already nervous with excitement. Im sure I will repack my backpack 10 times in the next 36 hours. I wont sleep well until Im in the tree after a few hours. lol
Anybody else already like a kid at Christmas?

 

[rakbowhunter]

Good luck!! I'm hoping to get in the tree next weekend.

 

[stevethebreeze]

Good luck to you as well!

Definitely something special about the first hunt of the year. I’m planning to be in a tree tomorrow after work for a few hours. Good luck everyone!

Pulling a 13 hour shift today. Get to sit almost all day tomorrow. Will have a good wind to access the backside of a swamp. Hoping these cool mornings keep the deer moving!

 

[stevethebreeze]

[rakbowhunter]

Nice work! Hope it heals up quicker than expected. Sounded like a rough deal!

Congrats on the harvest. I'm glad that your injury isn't keeping you out of the woods completely. I have been fighting back problems for months now, saw a surgeon today and most likely will be operated on in late December. Its not gonna keep me out of the woods up until then though!

Hope you heal quickly, Achilles injuries are no joke.

Well i didnt get to any of my spots so i had to pull over do some Huntstand recon. Found a nice saddle that luckily has a few acorns dropping here and there. It was a beautiful morning for sure. Ended up seeing 3 does this afternoon but didnt come into range. Maybe tomorrow. Good job @Vtbow and @hambone !!

 

[Bowhunter5262]

A little late getting in this morning. Didn't want to push anything out of my good spots. I setup between a 3 year old prescribed burn area and a pine thicket. Got setup and can see a scrape at 10 yards I didn't see from the ground. Hoping for anything brown this morning!

Made it out a few hours yesterday on some public. Nothing in bow range but what a beautiful evening it was and that full harvest moon was a sight. I’ll be back at it Saturday

 

[Bowhunter5262]

Ok, had a spike and a yearling doe come right underneath my tree downwind of me at 2 yards. Both spooked couldn't get my bow up fast enough as they were carrying in at a fast pace. Nothing afterwards. 3.5 hour sit, 2 deer sighted, first real public land sit in over 3 years, and it was a lot easier with a saddle then my old climber.
