    I got a nice doe tonight, 22 yards put a Hellrazor broadhead right in the sweet spot. She went about 70 yards and died quick.

    Congrats. If I was a unethical hunter I could have shot 4 in my back yard yesterday after work from my pourch. they are really tearing up the acorns.

    I called in sick today figuring it would be a good day to scout the area I've been seeing deer almost every day on my way home. I was hoping to put up a tree stand. I arrived only to find to find to find that the state had expanded their "protection zone". color me pissed!!!

    Hmm, I wonder why there are 2 "to find" in my last post. crazy.

    so, salt in my wound. today on my way home, 2 does and a spike on the edge of the area I tried to scout yesterday. I hate this state!

    We got some more out of the park. My dad and I each have three now. I'm cleared to take a buck down now too (have to shoot two antler-less deer to earn one buck from the park but you still have to use a buck tag from your state license). I've been eying some nice bucks that have been coming around my stand. I get back out a week from tomorrow so I'm hoping to get at least one that day too. Last time I was out I had a nice big 6 point, nice spread, chase what I thought were two does right to me. It ended up being a doe and an antler-less buck. I took out the antler-less buck after he came in range, d-pop program mentality, if it is a deer without antlers, and in range, kill it. :) Rut is pretty much in swing now, at least the bucks are feeling it, this fella was certainly trying to see if a doe wanted his company.Big buck came around trying to figure out what happened almost made me so I couldn't get my cross hairs on him. Better not to be seen in that situation I think. I'm loving my crossbow, clean kills, no kick.. Other than a lack of range (which is due to d-pop program restrictions, 20 yard max) I have no qualms with it. I am excited for the rest of the season. Should be well stocked with venison by the end of the season.

    That's awesome. I will be going out Thursday - Sat. Was suppose to take my son for the youth doe season, but his grade are keeping him from hunting so I guess I will have to go out and take one with a bow.

    Video'd a NICE 8 point while my Hubby was bow hunting.... he passed it up,.... hoping that this week end I'd get a chance to "fling an arrow" at it. Wasn't that sweet!?! Needless to say... this week has passed at a snails pace. Hurry up weekend!!! :happy:

    rain/snow mix here tomorrow, highs in the mid 40s. won't be a whole lot of fun in that regard, but opening day is always fun. have 4 tags, so hoping to start dropping steaks in the freezer this week.

    well, not the official opening day. state of montana changed that up a few years back, making it a saturday start. but I still go on sundays. saturday start just feels wrong.

    Went out last night and saw the first buck of the season. To bad shooting light was gone. He was 15 yards behind my stand and all I saw was the white rack. I really pumped now. Can't wait until next week.

    Nothing but yearlings and some does headed the wrong direction to offer a good shot. Did find some fresh bear scat three times up on the ridge line I was working, then found some fresh tracks in a sand bar. Good sized black. Some cat tracks, too. Either a bit bobcat or a mountain lion. Definitely had some company out there Sunday.

    Gonna head back out to the same spot Wednesday and give it another go. If no luck, might try a different area on Thursday.
