NICE 1 BOB !

Congratulations to Bob W. on his 8 pt. harvested at Crane Naval Base in Kentucky.

Bob currently lives in the State of Indiana, (but raised in Pa.). He and his brother Butch are frequent guests at camp, and great Trout Fisherman, specializing in fishing on smaller trout streams. Bob applied for a lottery license on the base and was lucky enough to score.

GOOD JOB BOB!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congratulation's are in order for Butch P. He harvested a buck of a life time the next to last day of the Archery Season. An 8pt. with a 20+ inch spread. He earned it!! Butch only missed 5 days the entire archery season, and that was due to work obligations.

He has been scouting this buck, and others, since the summer. His hard work has paid off! The 8pt. met his demise 10 minutes before our legal hunting hours ended. The buck traveled 200 yards and ended up 30 yards from where he took the shot.(more pics will be posted) By the way, there is a larger buck roaming in the area.

GOOD JOB BUTCH!!!!

YOUNG DOE

Joe and I headed back out today, our 4Th consecutive day of archery hunting. It was a perfect day. Temps in the lower 60s with a cold front and rain moving in.

We reached our stands, and before long, deer were active. Here are a few pics of today's action. No buck as you can see, but we are still hopeful. The season closes this coming Saturday. There is still time.

No matter what, it has been a very enjoyable time in the outdoors with good friends.

Just a reminder. click on pics to enlarge (maybe?)

GOTCHA!!!

No, she didn't see me. I am convinced that the flash from a camera does not effect a deer in any way. I have taken a few pics of deer and the flash has absolutely no effect on their behavior.

1 LUCKY DOE

1 lucky doe here. If that deer was one year older, she would be heading to the freezer. She was completely unaware of my presence.

ARCHERY HUNTING

Headed out with Joe M. today to do some archery hunting. We parked at another good friends house (Butch P.) and all 3 of us headed out. Not much action this evening but I did see another 4 pt. that hung around for about 10 minutes. That was all she wrote for the evening. If I could combine the last 2 buck I've seen into 1, my buck hunting would be over for the year. I have been seeing deer everyday I have been out for the last week and a half. No signs of rutting buck though.

I almost talked myself out of archery hunting today. The PENN STATE, Mich. game , on the tube, was tempting me. I fought the urge to watch and headed out. Within 10 min. of reaching my stand and settling in, a small buck appeared out of nowhere. It fed around me from 4:30 to
5:05. He was a small 4 pt. that never new I was there. After enjoying supper, he bedded down 1 tree to the left of me at 15 yards. For the next 2 hours, I could barely move. Around 5:45 a doe and her fawn showed up and were directly below my stand. They hung around and fed until 6:00 The whole time the buck never moved from its bed!! Finally, at 6:10, the 4 pt. rose, fed a while, and moved off. All this time I never picked up my bow! WHAT A GREAT EVENING IN THE STAND!! ( my apology for the pics quality)
