TEAM LAST CHANCE

Rifle season kicks off here in NY tomorrow so I’ll probably crawl off the public and back into my hole . I’m sure there are some solid bow hunting tactics that can take advantage of rifle hunting pressure but that ain’t in my bag yet.

Got a trip planned to the southern zone (longer bow season) next week to try and fill my bow antlerless tag but I’ve never been there and only have two days to try and get something figured out.

Been in the ballpark lately, seen a lot of deer, made some silly mistakes that cost me some opportunities but it’s been a fun season so far. I should be good for at least another doe at some point but I don’t know if I’ll be able to upgrade my buck.

Man this deer hunting thing will humble you as soon as you think you got it figured out .

Happy hunting boys and remember a last chance is still a chance!

I have had a couple of tough days out there boys. Shot a solid 8 pointer today just after day break. Hit him solid, but not solid enough I guess. Followed blood for almost 200m from the shot location (hours after it was shot). Will be looking again tomorrow.

I'm trying up here...

Dang man I know the feeling. Hoping you have a successful recovery tomorrow. Good luck!

Congratulations bro, nice buck. I'm hoping I can contribute to the team soon. Deer movement has be pretty slow where I'm at in Md. Hoping it picks up soon though, I'm off all next week.

That sucks bro, good luck. Hope you find him.
 
Well boys I been around em but not close enough to get it done. Finally opened the archery areas here but I’m basically preseason scouting all over again cause it’s been so long since I’ve been in here. Went to some spots yesterday that I had good success late last season and barely any sign I think it’s the lack of acorns.

Never really found a spot I was confident I’d see deer so I just kept scouting. Probably a good move cause I ended up bumping deer in several spots I didn’t think they’d be. Saw about 20 deer over 4 different locations so I got some good intel.

Went back in today with a good wind to the the spot where I saw the most. Had 3 come out just before sunset but not quite close enough for a shot. I think I’m getting close so hopefully I can at least fill a doe tag soon.

70 yards is about all she’d give me.

Well guys my hot spot has been rather cold. Gonna try something this weekend with the south winds coming. Thinking maybe they’re using the parcel differently with no acorns this year. They’re certainly still using it I’m just wondering if they’re coming through at dusk to feed the fields instead of the usual coming off the fields in the morning. Still looking for my first bow kill from a saddle and hoping this pans out!!!!
 
Buddy came into northwest Arkansas from Ohio to do some bow hunting with me. Just bought a saddle and during his second sit smokes this! Wish it was mine but pretty happy for him!

Made a bad shot on a dandy deer this morning, going to give it until this evening to see what I can find, absolutely sick to my stomach
