Great start to the late archery season!!

Well this was my first day out for the late archery season here....off to a great start! I have seen my opponent and he is most worthy!!! Was out with Swamper and Oldtimer and we saw 25 deer in all, 6 bucks. I ran into a 180+ 4point, managed to get within 100 yds, but the wind was bad so I left him be....didn't want to blow him out of the area alltogether. Oldtimer and I have all next week off, so I'll be trying my darndest to get on him, or the big 3 point that I've been chasing the past couple years....should be a good week!!
Will keep ya posted on anything interesting!

Chris

good luck chris hope u connect on a nice one..

Way to have patience there, Chris. If you continue to play your cards right, you've got a good chance of getting in range sooner or later. Good luck, and keep us informed.

Hey Chris just let Oldtimer show you how to get close. I am sure he still has a trick or two up his sleeve that he has been saving to show you young pups. Good luck to the both of you this week.

I think you guys need some back-up just in case it attacks you .....um oh yea Im free for the next couple weeks :lol:

good luck Chris , send pics soon

Well day 2 is in the books. Saw does, does, does, and you guessed it, more does.....36 in all. No sign of the big guy but tommorrow is another day!!

Hey Bones, I think your right, you better bring that cannon down in case "I feel threatened" and we need to knock one down in "self-defense"!!!

Have you guys tried the kettle valley area.Great for bowhunting,lots of deer.The terrain is great for cover and there are plenty of opportunities to shoot.

Nails I am afraid to admit this but the young pup ( Willy ) taught me everything I know about bowhunting so I am afraid I don't have any tricks to show him although yesterday while he is scooting around on his quad and not seeing anything I entertained a lovely doe for 15 minutes from a well concealed spot I had chosen to wait in ambush from. Only animal we saw all day and this from an area we would normally see 15 or 20. NEXT TIME !!!!

teach a child how to shoot a gun and take away the curiosity.

Oldtimer, that can't always be the case: RE: Chris teaching you everything...Nails and I taught our Dad archery and first time out together, Dad nailed a 3 point Black Tail with the first arrow he ever threw at a Deer...."Oldtimer's" always have a trick or two!!!!

Best of luck,
