Bow Hunting Thread

I go through all my shite about twice a week to make sure I got everything and go check my cameras every 4-5 days because I want to see the transition lean towards day time so I don’t frick em up when I come check cameras. Still yet to get some arrows refletched. Just been practicing with a couple missing a feather

I'm so behind this year... I haven't even taken my bow out of the case yet.

My lease has been trimmed up and I sprayed the box blinds for the kids but I haven't set up any of my hangons yet.

I'll probably pull the camper up there next weekend and maybe do some scouting on some public land I plan to hunt in October.

Studying maps, specifically LIDAR on Sonris. Marking the deer sightings, crossings, and trails I saw last year. Trying to figure out if I need to move, come in a different way, etc.

Need to get out and clear a few stands. I haven't hung any cams yet. Where I hunt once they cut rice patterns change and once they cut beans they change again so I'm trying to quit analyzing patterns that will change the first week of season. Just going to go by where I traditionally see them early season. Need to be practicing more at 40 yards with this new bow. Just re-fletched a dozen arrows still need to do another 9 or so.

I've scouted all of my areas. Prepped 4 trees and have my blind set up on private. I'm done. Just keep shooting and waiting for opening day.

I got by crossbow dialed in.

Planning on putting up a camera and rehanging a stand where I had a lot of buck activity last year. Gonna take my almost 2 year old (born in October) with me Saturday. He has no idea what his birthday did to my season the last two years.

Last year, literally during his birthday party, there were two shooters standing 20 yards from a ground blind that I had set up. 10 point and an 8. Probably 130" on the 10 point and pushing it with the 8.

I love the shite out of that little boy, though. Hoping we can spend the majority of his birthdays in the woods from here on out. Can't wait for those.

Stands are hung. Cameras have been out since July. Got the elite dialed in. My season starts this Saturday (Minnesota). I have an old buddy from my ship flying in Thursday from NYC. This will be his first time bow hunting. Can't wait!

Busted the D Loop shooting my bow yesterday and lost an arrow 200 yards into the corn.

Taking it as a sign to get it restrung. The wait is killing me.

Depends on where you are located and how far you are willing to go. SW Louisiana has a couple that had fairly good success rates due to low pressure. Louisiana sportsman usually puts out a harvest report on WMA that includes a hunter/harvest ratio.
