2015 URS Bow Hunting Thread...

[ryan_]

Man, you guys are slacking! It's less than a week away!

Due to my $100K, 1 year vacation to Virginia, I lost a lot of my hunting grounds. I still have a small 32 acre piece and I got permission to hunt a 25 acre spot right down the road that backs up to several thousand acres of private land.

Good luck to all of you!

I'm here buddy! Definitely psyched!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Poor showing Ry. You & me this year i guess buddy!

cant wait

A week away, down here in Florida we started last week. Got meat in the freezer already. Now I'm going to be patient and wait for a nice buck.

 

[reefer buddy]

Almost ready, hope to fill the freezer and knock down a wall hanger.

So I decided to put on a different sight and switch to a shorter release. That's always a good idea just before the season.

I spent 4 hours at the indoor range yesterday. I had one guy staring at me for about 5 minutes before he finally got the nerve to ask "why in the world are you sitting down when you shoot?".
I looked at him and said, "I shoot from inside my car a lot". He got the funniest look on his face.

I dropped a half inch off my draw length. Bows at the shop now. Nothing like changing things up at the last second.

I shortened my draw by a half inch early this year. It barely changed my pins at all.

 

[block head]

Grrr. Last semester of school, i can't have tags in my pocket. Too much temptation. Leaves changing, salmon running, i'm a grumpy sob. Might play hooky and run the dogs once or twice. My son got drawn for two hunts, broke his arm and probably won't heal in time.

 

[NirvanaFan]

Ohhh.... I'm here. I bought a new to me Bear Attack for this season. New bow, release, quiver, rest, sight, and stabilizer. I changed the draw length on it this past weekend, but I think I need to change it back again. I've got Friday off, so I'll be hunting Friday and Sunday.

I didn't even get the trail camera set up this year. My wife gave birth to our second child in July, so we've been ridiculously busy this summer. Good luck everyone!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Just got the green light for the opener, without asking I might add! Might be tight, but I'll be out if I can tomorrow. Otherwise, Saturday evening sit will be my start to the 2015 season. Nowhere to go but up after last season. Bit of a rough one.

 

[ryan_]

Up here in my stand. I got in a little late, but at least I'm here. I only have about 3-4 hours though, before I have to get back to town. Hopefully I have a little early luck.

No luck this morning, but great luck this afternoon...


No, I haven't gotten a deer, but out of the blue, right place right time, I just got permission to hunt 100 acres that connects to thousands! I am stoked. I am going to scout it tomorrow evening.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Nice! I had a guy 150 yards away come in at like 5pm. Then he was using a bleat can and a grunt tube. Left around 6 PM. Absolutely absurd. I saw didley, but heard a deer blow on my way out. At least they were close by... The opener is always interesting. Won't be going back to that spot anytime soon.

 

[Henryz]

Tough tough year for me.....will probably be the first season I have ever missed. Little heart broken over it, so will have to live vicariously thru you guys

 

[duckmeat]

Got one decent one on camera. Saw a couple skippers, and does,might wait it out for big guy

 

[Capt_Cully]

I'm on the board. Got a decent doe tonight. Deer were really moving around. Saw 6 or 7 tonight. When I shot the one doe, a ton took off. The foliage is really making my spots thick.

 

[Henryz]

Congrats....always nice to have some meat in the freezer. Obviously haven't made it to the woods but does seem like a ton of leaves still up.....needs a couple good frosts to help pull them down. Looked like would have been a miserable sit with all the wind and rain but still better than sitting in the house

 

[ryan_]

Congrats!
I mostly shoot doe. I'm not much of a trophy hunter. I prefer to fill the freezer. I am going this evening. I've been so busy with setting up a new plowing route, that I haven't had much woods time. Gotta get out there.
Again, congrats.
