As soon as my son gets home from school this afternoon we will be heading to our spot in Brown County for a weekend of bowhunting.
We had 4 youths hunt last weekend and everyone of them seen deer, no one killed anything as most of the deer seen were small bucks. One youth did get a shot but it was a clean miss...........the mentor said it was a button buck!
Now the small bucks will get a pass, I'm sure.....as the only youths we will have this weekend are my son and a buddy of mines daughter, both are avid hunters and will hunt the whole season......so they both keep saying they will not shoot a small buck this early......we will see!
I feel this is the first year my son has a pretty good chance of killing a deer with his bow. He got a new Martin bow for Christmas last year and has shot that thing quite a bit over the summer. If he gets an unobstructed 30 yard (or less) shot we will be tracking blood! His bow shooting skills have improved quite a bit over the year and he really enjoys shooting his Martin.
I will give you an update Monday morning.........hopefully I won't forget the camera this weekend like I did last!

This weekend my son and I will be hunting Big Oaks, Josh will be missing school on Friday and we will leave as soon as I get done with a 9:00am meeting.
We are staying at a mom & pop motel north of Big Oaks Friday night and Saturday night. We will be hunting area 12 at the north end of the property.
They didn't have much of a selection when I called this past Tuesday, I have hunted Big Oaks before and I firmly beleive you just got to be at the right place at the right time, there are deer throughout the entire place.
I am really not all that impressed with Big Oaks, you have to jump through alot of hoops to hunt in there and the hunting is not really any better than my normal spot. But my son has never hunted there and he is pretty excited. I never hunted it when it was JPG, but I know several who did and they can tell you some stories about that place.
Hunting area 12 will allow us to go in Friday and do some scouting because area 12 is part of the day use area, we plan on watching the video and then do some scouting on Friday.
Saturday we will hunt all day and then hunt on Sunday morning.
Wish us luck!
