[flipajig]

Im taking my son out for his first archery hunt on sat..
weve been shooting every day for a month and he is shooting verry well he is 12 and can keep all 4 shots prity regular in side a silver doller at 20 yds i think he is ready. I just hope that buck fever dosent take over him...

So danged hot and the skeeters are so bad down here, I don't know if I'll go out anytime soon. We need a REAL cold front.

been bow season here in south Florida. The truck temp meter said outside 104. That was 2 weeks ago. The only good thing with the skeeters is they bring a breeze in when the swarm hits ya.

i would love to go bow hunting, but sadly our eutopia known as britian, has made it illegal. bollo**s

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

What's their rationale for that interlock?

 

[schlockinz]

must be a fear of people being robbed with bows, I hear that they are easily concealed

 

[MCgunner]

He says hunting with 'em is illegal, not owning one....or, I THINK that's how I read it. I suspect some bozo animal rights group behind that one, personally. Or, maybe it's fear of poachers with silent weapons. They're a little different over there with lands, societal class structure, and hunting rights/privileges.

I am pumped. I am only going to be able to make it out on Sunday this weekend, but I have been waiting for this since the second week of January! Good luck gettin' your kid his first bow deer OP

What's their rationale for that interlock?

Robin Hood, of course. They don't want merry men robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.

They don't want merry men robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Or a bunch of grown men running around in tights.

Should be a high of ~90 and a low of ~60 over the weekend in central TX...much better than the last few years.

I'm in Calif and bow season already past. Stalked a 3 point to 30 yards and just couldn't get him out of the brush. Bow hunting is like being a hitter in baseball. Your going to fail a lot more times than you are going to exceed, but exceeding only 3 out of 10 times still makes you a premiere player. Keep the boys spirits up no matter if you see a buck or he misses. It's easy to get discouraged when your young. I hope he makes a full pass through the heart his first shot!

3 more days!! he's shooting a hoyt banshee set at 45 lbs some of my old carbin express cut down with blazer vains 3 blade muzzy he should be ready..

 

[3pairs12]

Heck yeah!! 4 rays for me though I have to miss Saturday

 

[MCgunner]

My son-in-law only gets weekends off, so I'm letting him go this weekend. I may go Tuesday if it would cool off a bit. I'm not sure that next front will make it here. They're saying it's going to hang up around Houston. I mean, I don't ask for much. 95 degrees just don't cut it, though.

It's been nice up here the last couple of weeks. I hope to atleast see some on the first day. Going to an area I have only turkey hunted, but seems like it may be decent early season bow spot. We will see, if not oh well just kind of using this trip as a pre rifle hunt scout. Then in 2 weeks off to Lubbock for a 4 day hunt.

One more day my son is walking on water and getting verry excited..

 

[3pairs12]

I bet he is. Tell him good luck from us and try and get some sleep tonight.

 

[flipajig]
