All geared up for bow opener next weekend!!!!!!!!! SLAM DUNK!

I did some scouting up there and did not see a single buck. Only saw a doe or two.

Buck down!!!! Small fork
Congrat, great looking deer, good eating...
enjoy life to the fullest
Ya that heart was great fresh out of the body
Ok,
Opening day I took off on the trail well it was still dark out. I had hunted until about 10am and not seen a thing, I was pretty bummed about it. Hit the road on my way back to the car. I am pretty sure I saw someone drive by with a Flat bed truck followed by a green ford suv. Maybe one of you guys? Boom! walking down the road I saw a doe and a fawn just getting up to feed. No shot. Went back to the cabin and took a nice nap after eating breakfast.
Woke up and took a little 9 mile drive to a nice back honey valley that I know of and got out... Ten minutes into hiking I see 2 does and one buck from 200 yards away. Start my stalk onto the feeding deer working my way behind trees and up a creek bed. I close into about 50 yards I think and range check. 45 yards up hill was going to be a rough shot. The buck was looking at me as I pulled my bow string back and let the arrow fly.......... ping ting tang as the buck jumped up in the air as I half suspect he was going to. The arrow bounced off the rocks behind the deer so I went to find my arrow and maybe get another shot. I run up hill to where I missed with another arrow knocked looking for the buck and trying to find my arrow at the same time.... Searching the ground I see huge sprays of blood every 5 feet. After tracking the blood for 100 yards I found the buck laying down dead. Success! I was excited to get my first bow buck!
Nice job congrats!!

Heyoooo!!!
Ok I am in cell service for a second.
Opening day 5x4 down
Sunday- missed a wiiiidddeee 4x4 and I missed a huge 3x3 with two forkies.
Sunday night-bear hits buck hanging in camp.
Monday- does lots of them. One spike.
Monday night- bear mayhem in camp. Deer head goes missing.
Tuesday- dog finds head and left over hind quarter bone (trail cam pics up soon)
Wed - out on a hunt and my buddy arrives around 3. Still on the hunt by five so he leaves to go take a stand by a spring. 630 he is back with a forkie.
Wed night- no more bear and we all sleep well for a night.
Side notes. Sunday morning we found a gut shot deer 3x2 rancid unclaimed. Sad face.
Also I know of a 3x3 took and some forks not by my camp.
I'll have pictures when I am out of the woods
