I like a classic october hunt, just for ole time sake. I usually pass on deer because always does with little ones. Just getting out. Getting camp bugs ironed out.

I hear ya EF. If we get a little cool spell in October I’ll make a couple sits on my place in Louisiana.

Funny thing is, when I was heavy into bow hunting, I always seemed to kill a very good buck that second or third week of October when a little 2 day cold snap would come in. Lows high 40s and highs mid 60s. I’d have to go back and check but there was a stretch of seasons where I got a mature buck archery in October and the week of muzzleloader.

Every season I take that first week of muzzleloader off and out of the last 6 seasons, I’ve killed a nice mature buck 4 out of the 6.

This season I’ll miss LA primitive weapon. I’ll be hunting our place in NE MO the last week of October to Thanksgiving.

Man, I’m fired up despite this hellish weather. God has really blessed my brothers and I along with my nephews not only in regards to hunting and fishing but life in general.

I don’t post hardly any during hunting season like I used to, so if I don’t see y’all around, I hope everyone has a safe successful hunting season. It’s not all about what you harvest. I can tell you the time spent with my brothers and nephews while hunting and fishing is priceless. Our dad raised us well, at least I think so. He’s be gone for over a decade now. I wish he would’ve gotten to see and experience hunting the properties my brothers and I have purchased over the years. We worked hard and did what we set out to do: purchase our own dirt along that MS river in NELA & MO. We were able to purchase a great deer and Turkey track in the Ozona area as well. Beyond grateful and very fortunate.
