Were just a few days away from the end of our first Bow season, If Im lucky I may get to slip out 1 more evening before it ends. Its been a decent season for me, 1 turkey which was the first one I've ever killed with a bow and 2 deer both killed a couple minutes apart about 2 weeks ago. I did shoot a coyote the same morning I killed the turkey but I put a bad hit on him I guess since I didnt find him but the landowner called me a week later and asked if I shot one and didnt find him as he saw one witha pretty good limp crossing the pasture a couple times since then. Now that he's in slow gear I'll get him when rifle season opens! BTW that was the second coyote in my long hunting career that I managed to get drawn on and get off a shot. Not big on wounding critters no matter what it is! That kinda hurts my feelings a bit!
Seems to be a lot of deer this year as Ive seen 31 from the stand so far, I'm looking forward to some cold weather bowhunting maybe the Biguns will start moving a lil!

Sounds like a great season. Do you always get doubles when you go out :laf:
Our rut in PA is just getting hot and the time to get a bigun is the next 4 to 5 days (at least IMHO).

Lol! Not always but I have doubled on several occasions with a bow and its nice when it happens!
Our rut usually kicks in around thanksgiving give or take a week or so.
Good luck Dave!
I've been a couple times. Only saw a few small scrub bucks and a few does. Haven't shot at anything yet. I need to put 1 or 2 in the freezer.
Yeah thats a good season so far.
Show me some pics of you standing over a nice 10 pointer this year. Something in the range of a 28 inch spread. :eyebrow:
I'm contemplating picking up a tag and filling a shelf in the freezer.
