Like a kid waiting for xmas.. cant wait to climb the tree Saturday morning.. Ive got a few decent bucks on camera and a bear in a funnel area near the Nottoway River on the land I hunt... Im having joint issues in both hands that really hurt when I shoot my #68 Kentuckian Flatbow so I ordered a Galaxy Ember longbow thats #45.  It came in today just in case I cant shoot the Kentuckian all season. I just wanted to wish everyone luck and have a safe and successful hunting season. God Bless....

Good luck, i am going to sweat it out as well. Hope to shoot the first doe to come along. By the way i live 1 mile from the Nottoway river near the Greeneville- Sussex line.

Will be hunting some public land near galax this opener. Hoping for a doe

Good luck!

Best of luck, but Saturday is October 6, my 75th birthday.  Oh good night, am I really THAT old?

Nothing moving on the ole homestead.  Flock shot mosquitoes instead.  Bagged the limit...with one arrow.

I did everything by the book this morning. I showered, then put on high dollar scent proof clothing.  I covered myself in doe pee, then hiked far into the wilderness to get away from the crowds (I was at least 5 minutes from my back door).  I was on the inside corner of a field edge, high on a ridge, in a creek bottom.  I was 20 yards from an active scrape with a rope wick above it. I was high enough in the tree to be out of the line of sight, and above the scent stream, of my unsuspecting quarry.  I was also low enough to allow a perfect angle into the vitals of my target. 

All this, only to miss two 8 pointers

It was a great morning!!!!

we had a slight N NE wind this morning, the NE is no good for this location. At 7: 15 a beautiful 9 pt. is walking straight to me, quartering into the wind. Im standing up fingers on the string, he hits my scent stream and slams on the breaks. He never blew, but i know he smelled me. saw 2 does later in the morning. Its good to be back at it!

Got situated yesterday in the dark only to have a real light colored coyote take a dump at 15 yds. Flashed the light on it and it blazed out of there. A orange box turtle kept me company for the morning-was like watching a tank roll over the sticks and debris-sloooooow motion. Then at 9 am a black bear decided it was time to head back up hill but at 50 yards-first year with a tag and he kept his distance of course. Great morning but too warm for the evening.Still great to be out.

May you enjoy the best of success.
