Kentucky Armory Club

Opening day a week from tomorrow for modern gun! Who's going? Also any bow hunters here? Post some pics of your harvest this year! I am trying to go opening day but may have to wait till the following weekend. I am also going to try and get into bow hunting by next season. Neighbor is big into bow so I am going to see if I can go with him.

I'll be hunting this year with a V6. Usually take them with a V8 but the V6 I think can do the trick just fine.

300blk 110gr Barnes tac-tx. Looking for that first kill with it suppressed.

Edit this is the big boy I'm gunning for this year.

I'm hoping to get a chance at this one-got several pics in last couple weeks

Or this one

I will be murdering a few. Neighbor boy is like 13 and asked if I would take him out, he wants a buck. I want 3 or 4 bambies.

Will be going on a buddies farm. Only 1 big buck out there this year so he will take him. There is a decent 8 but may let him grow. Will kill some doe they are everywhere

Seen a bunch today. Big bucks were out really early.

For the past week and a half I have been trying out lots of different feed, attractants, calls and scents.
Out of the dozens of things I tried I can honestly say the "Ever Calm" deer herd scent is the single best scent blocker/ cover up out there.
The spray on scent killers are a waste of money. I have said that for the past few years.
The "Ever Calm" is scented with actual scents from a "calm" deer herd. It is in a stick deodorant style container and you just rub it in on the soles of your boots. It smells a lot like the deer piss scents and is nasty but it really covers up your human scent.
After using this the entire week, I have witnessed first hand, deer sniffing my walking path and following my steps directly to my blind. Both bucks and does sniffing my path.
There is not a whole lot out there in the world of Witches Brew of hunting products that actually work but this stuff is a Home Run.
Just passing it on to the KAC hunting family. Its expensive, but it works.

Hoping to shoot my first buck Saturday.

Couldn't give less of a damn about big antlers. I'm with SoL, hoping for at least two younger does.

It's all snake oil to me too, but I might have to give that a shot since I predominantly hunt on foot

You guys get it.

Todd, thanks for the Ever Calm info. I'm going to give it a shot.

I'll be in my stand opening morning . I meat hunt so I'll be after does . Never heard of the stuff above . But i basically use scent away on my clothes & cover scent on my boots . I also tie drags to my boots w some sort of scent on them . Almost every year i have a young dumb deer follow my trail right to my stand . Good luck everyone !

Wow. Not good

Well that doesnt look good.

Great.

Keep in mind there has only been one infected deer identified in Indiana, which is separated from us by a pretty big river. Just a precaution in a limited area, but something it wouldn't hurt to be aware of.

So it's looking like my hunting area may be unavailable to me this weekend. I'm looking at going down to taylorsville lake WMA. Anybody have any experience? Good, bad, crowded?
