Been a busy fall thus far however finally have a weekend to hunt. Just got a new excalibur Tuesday and more importantly some TIME so needless to say I am anxious to get out!
Any reports on movement or success in 93a?

Saw one small doe today and no bucks on my first hunt. Any luck dano19 ?

One big six point came strolling out perfectly broadside around 830am, unfortunately he was 70-80 yards away....back in the blind again this morning.

Don't think tonys does it in wyo anymore. Dresden meat packers does a good job. I've been using the butcher from davey jones in Sarnia. Does it out of his garage.

The sit this morning nearly gave me a heart attack & I lost my buck fever virginity. At first light heard rustling to my right for about 3-4 minutes; you know the sound squirels that sound like deer make. Well, I determined these weren't in fact squirels because for the first time in my life (second season bow hunting) i physically heard a buck grunting. Heart rate immediately sky rockets. After about a minute it goes quiet and then I notice a doe jet out about fifty yads in front of me..10 seconds later I thought I was dreaming but out comes probably the biggest buck I'll probably ever see in my life. Giant 8 point perfect symmetry, big dark brown and mature. I raise my crossbow and try a grunt to get him to stop. .although he did stop, the combination of little day light (yes it was legal shooting hours) + this deer being 40-45 yards away + my heart beating out of my chest and not being very steady I had to let him go.. so off he ran chasing his doe. The most exciting experience yet in the woods by far and a buck I'll never forget. Hopefully he is still around in a few weekends when I return.

You made the right call on not taking the shot. You still took away a little more "deer knowledge" than you went out with and had a great experience. Here's to hoping next time he's closer and stops for a few seconds.

One thing I've noticed in the past is that when you make a grunt/bleat to stop them, you have to do it louder than you would think to get his attention. They don't seem to hear so well when they're on the move. Same as it is for us when we're walking to the stand and then have to stop to listen because we hear something.

Went out for a few hours late morning early afternoon and didn't see a thing. My goal was to get out early this morning but my muffler came off my truck as I was leaving. Got the parts and fixed it myself and off i went. Those squirrels are tricky little buggers and had about a dozen of them around me. I did happen to notice a least five eagles at the conservation area flying around the small lake. I pulled over and tried to get some pictures with my phone but they turned out like crap. Nice to see them around and doing well.

Someone at my work mentioned Davey Jones in Sarnia as well. That would be closest to me since i work in Sarnia. Thanks
