Archery opens the 6th! Who's going out for some fresh deer?????

Just ordered a couple dozen new broadheads. Whether I'll get to use them, or not, is pure speculation.

I need to get a bow

The real early season teds to be for trophy hunters , the temps are so high that the meat needs to be processed very quickly ad the deer are eat up with flies and ticks. Most die hards I know , use this early season to scout and possibly kill that huge trophy while in the velvet , its common around here for them to wait till around the early muzzle loader to actually take that deer , or till they have actually shed there velvet.
The few I know of that do take deer now , dont eat the meat and just mount the head, so if its not a mount quality deer they dont kill it.

WAAAAAAAAY to freaking hot to deer hunt...

No bow season for me. Hoping to get out for gun season this year.

What length draw? The one I picked up last winter is too long for me and can't be adjusted any smaller. It has a 30" draw length, and I'm selling it for what I have in it, $100

I have no idea...never owned one..lol

That makes sense SOL... I'm crazy though and wanna get out lol... I think last year I didn't have any good shots unil sometime late November or early december... It was freakin cold! lol.. but fun all the same!

Im with ya man, I like being out in the woods even if I just watch the birds. Really your chances to spot and get that huge buck are better now then later. IMO you should set up for some coyote hunting , you can slaughter them right now , even with a bow and the right set up. you still get to watch the deer , just in case that mule walks in to sight, your out in the woods scouting , and you dont have to clean the yote....lol

I like to hunt them in October and November with V8's! Always have good success.

Only deer I've ever killed was with an 88 Silverado packing a 305....

I've never thought of doing that SOL. I'm trying to find some private land to hunt.. might be a good pitch to get not he land if I work on removing some coyote off the property... I did manage to get out this morning for a few hours on some WMA land just to scout out some game trails... saw two deer, three turkeys, about a dozen squirrel and a snake... underbrush is retarded this right now though! I'm always amazed at how well the deer move through some of that stuff!

Yellow Bank is a great place to deer hunt....especially bow hunt...

It's huge...something like a thousand acres +....free public land...

Most people hunt the outer perimeter and easy access areas. If u hike in a little ways u can get some good spots.

I got several buddies that hunt there every year....couple years ago one bagged a nice buck.

Worth going if your anywhere close.

no idea where thats at lol

wow it got warm quickly out there today!

Yeah, it did. Was 57 degrees just a little while ago. Had the door open for a nice breeze.

I'm hoping we are out of the how weather and back to cool nights and mild days!

Full moon doesn't help right now.

full moon sucks for deer hunting

It was really bright here last night.... U could easily walk around and see a good 100 yards without a light...

I miss my bow hunting days,as a matter of fact I miss modern gun and muzzle loader too. Hunting land is hard to come by.

Some of Kentucky's biggest deer have been taken on public land.
