Countdown to Deer Season
- Thread starter Shads
- Start date
This was opening weekend of bow season 5 years ago. I would let both of them walk now but I was more than happy to shoot them then.
Went out in my backyard to hang my game camera a few minutes ago. Put out a bit of corn and while hanging the camera I heard a noise behind me, turned a saw a deer about 15 feet away. It jumped back into the woods before I could get a pic. I’ve been seeing several in the yard for the last few weeks. Will post some pics soon!
Until then enjoy this one from last season.

Yep, he was a hoss for sure. Unfortunately I found out a couple of months ago that a neighbor (1/2 mile or so away) got him last year. Bummer!
That deer showed up in my backyard the week of thanksgiving last year for three evenings in a row. Always after dark, never saw him during daylight hours.
I'm sure my son will have me in the stand early season. I don't feel like it's deer season if I'm sweating and swatting gnats and mosquitos.
I don’t either, guess that’s the biggest reason I never got into bow hunting much.
What is this deer season you speak of? All I know is that ticks and chiggers will suck you dry.
I was always one of those guys that said I didn't like shooting sticks at them I will wait for lead season. Well 5 years ago I was reading about all the advancements in archery equipment. So I started to look for deals online as I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't like it. Ended up finding a centerpoint crossbow on sale for around $200 bucks and pulled the trigger. Opening day of archery season on my first hunt ever with a crossbow I end up killing one of my biggest bucks ever. Ive been hooked ever since. Love that it adds an extra month to my season.
