Bucks
Will Be Bucks -- Finally!!!
 (Sept
27 at 8:18am) There was a major change in deer activity this morning.
A handful of does were in the food plot at first light -- but the bucks
were not interested. They were marking limbs and making rubs. At daylight
an 8-point worked the edge of the woods, raking several low limbs and bushes
with it's antlers. Two other bucks also raked limbs. Then the 10-point
walked up from the gully and began raking limbs and bushes. Here is a 4
pic series of him hard at it. Everything happened early this morning,
the last deer I saw was at 7:20am. Today was the first day of the pre-rut.
ACCUREST:
The Future of Archery - Today!
AccuRest Bows are the future
of archery with their tubular arrow rest system. While it is not a "Draw-Lock"
type device, it is the easiest and safest bow to shoot. The AccuRest does
not require tuning or setup. While the AccuRest is available in 50, 60
and 70# draw weights they are also introducing a beginner's bow with the
same unique system in 15 and 20# draw weights for only $199.

Fathers

 A
young buck, still in velvet, looks a big 10-point over. If any picture
ever showed the difference in size and features between a first year buck
and a mature buck, this is it. I did it in wallpaper so you can see it
full sized on your monitor. (1024x768)

Peep
Sight Nightmare!, by Ron Burrows

Head 125 Broadhead - Golden Key Futura, by Dave Conrad

shoots into 3/4 inch plywood to see how this broadhead penetrates and if

Elk
Hunt On The Desert, by Ray Howell
"The bull started
to move. It didn't seem to bother him that all his cows were no longer
in sight. He walked back into the creek and started drinking. I still didn't
have a clear shot because of the brush. I checked my range finder."

Foiled Again, by John Sloan
"The rut was going
full blast. Little boy deer, as is their wont, were chasing little girl
deer all over the woods. Some of the boy deer were not so little."

Practice, by Randy Ulmer
Randy tell s us, "The first
five arrows and the last five arrows I shoot everyday I shoot from a distance
of five feet with my eyes closed." And here's why...
SCOUTING
(In Progress) Getting Close!:
Early last week I set up
a new photo blind where I could get a better look at where the deer come
from. I scored a picture of the 10-point right away. You can even see his
coat changing color. (1042x768)
(800x600)
(640x480)
Three days later he walked even closer to the blind. (1042x768)
(800x600)
(640x480).
But, on the down side I saw a dozen more deer 40 yards away in my food
plot. I definitely do not want to spook them so I waited for them all to
leave, which was well over an hour after dark.

captured from the office window of our columnist, Susan Lagazo."
And the second quote: "We are a good people who value life

said, "I want to be a part of bowhunting on the internet" and I thank each

Bucks loose their velvet
fast. I took pictures of this unique 6-point on Sept 5 and he was in velvet,

Check
Out this Nice 10-Point That Just Lost His Velvet
That dark red color on this
buck's antlers is dried blood. It's only been a few hours since he shed
his velvet and the reddish color will be history in no time. I took several
pictures of this Big Boy 10-point as he approached and joined other deer
in my food plot yesterday afternoon.

(7:42am,
Sept 26) Here is a larger picture
of the 10-point taken a few minutes ago this morning, September 26.
His coat is now totally gray, in the previous picture (below) it still
had some of the reddish, summer coat. Also, notice the gash in the buck's
left rear leg, it's healed up but the hide is permanently tore, it probably
happened when he jumped a fence. He allows a young 8-point to hang around
where he it and here
is it's picture. I've been shooting my bow every day and today I put
them all in a 6 inch circle from distances of 10 to 22 yards. I can't wait
until Saturday morning when I can "get in the pit" near, hopefully, where
all these deer will still be.
