This little guy

 

Damm being an East coaster that's freaking awesome if I could put an arrow through an elk of even this caliber I'd die a happy man

 

Id be happy too, if he'd given me 5 more seconds I woulda sent a Rage through his lungs. I have 8 days to get it done.

 

I sat in my stand and thought I heard a bugle way off up the hill from me. My wife was sitting outside at the house and confirmed she heard one too. I didnt see anything come through...good thing because I left my release at the 4wheeler and walked in a couple hundred yards to my stand...

 

Been there

 

That's exactly why I carry a back up Release in my bag! But I've been there too!

 

That's why my release is always on me LOL And my range finder is always in my pocket.

 

typically I have it looped on my bow for obvious reasons....which I thought I did...but last time I shot it, i just hung it on the end and not looped on it...so when i took my bow out of the case it came off in the case. I usually dont do this but every once in a while it happens

 

I had my main one break one time, glad I carried a back up

 

yeah Im not too sure of the accuracy trying to shoot with fingers...So Im glad nothing came through. Its good to get a couple practice runs in before the real deal. Otherwise I really would have been mad if I couldnt shoot at one if it were to have come in....

 

Nailed this deer at 8:45 this morning. Had a perfect stalk, shot at 33 yards through the lungs, ran about 40 yards then rolled 40 yards down the hill. I've never had a hunt go as well as this one, not a single deer smelled me or saw me moving, even had a group of does walk past me at 20 yards as I laid behind a bush that was a foot tall. Shot it at the top of the hill in the background.

 

October 1st cannot get here fast enough!

 

Anyone here hunt in Pushmataha County Oklahoma?

 

don't hunt there, but I have extended family up around there and grew up in paris, not too far away.

 

Drive through Paris on my up there. Live in DFW

 

I flip flop on which tag to get for elk. One year I try to get more of a bow season and one year more of a rifle season. This year is a longer rifle season...and go figure I get a bull to come in close. If I was trying I prob could have got to him. But I was just seeing if I could get him to come in. Also only had 6 days to hunt elk with a bow this year and that ended the 12th... He got within about 80yds and the wind swirled and the cows busted me. I didnt get to see them but I know they were really close.

 

Well acomplished a stalk this evening and was able to put down my #2 on the hit list

 

Had a doe come in about 70 yds, thought about taking a doe but then her fawn popped along right behind her...so I passed, I wanted her to come in another 40 yds but I doubt I would have taken her with a fawn...eventhough I know the fawn would be ok at this point.

 

Our season starts next Saturday
