Time flies when your having fun! Well, not really, but anyway, Its been a crazy October for sure, I finally got in the woods for the first time October 30, it was awesome to get out and see some critters. I drew on a big doe twice but couldnt make the shot happen. Just to darn thick to squeeze an arrow through. Oh well, of course first thing that morning at 15 yards I had a doe broadside, and the bow was about 4 feet from my hand. Sooooo, I simply did what anyone else would have done, grabbed the bow and spun around quick to see if I could get a shot off but she was havin none of it. She never blew, but bounced off and never did come back.

Sunday was much the same, but didnt end up seein anything.....Oh well. I am off to Panama City FL for the next 6 weeks which really makes me mad, but when Uncle Sam says ya gotta go, ya gotta go so I will miss rut and all, wont be home till December 18th, so with any luck I will be in the woods that weekend for some late bow season action! I will keep ya posted!

How is everyones season going??

Sorry its been so long!

Have you all ever had a period of time when things just seem to take off full throttle and you are just along for the ride? Well, honestly, that is what has been going on. The season came in the 12th of September, and I have not been in the woods one time. For one, its been in the high eightys during the day and only in the 70's in the evenings....Sooo, the motivation is sort of slim to none, buuuut I am planning on trying to get out this weekend, but its still hot, so who knows.....

I hope that your all having a great season if its in where you are!! The good news is I did get my Reezen set up and shooting an unreal 303 fps with a 362 grain arrow at 71# with a 27" draw....I will post some pix when I get a chance!!!

Shoot straight everyone!!

Bow season is HERE!

2009-08-23T08:12:00.001-07:00

Well, not quite, but in 2 weeks here in GA, it will be on!! I know it is hard to get out there and sit in a tree when it is 75 when the sun comes up and then by 10am it is pushing the 90* mark, but I think that you will find that there can be some added advantages to getting out early! I unfortuenately will not be out that first weekend due to some prior commitments, but hopefully the following weekend I will be in my home away from home 20' in a tree and enjoying the scenery!

I hope all of you are looking forward to the up and coming season with high hopes and dreams of huge bucks and memories that will last a lifetime!

Sold my Baby!

You know, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get things you want, so with much regret I sold my Drenalin to pay for a lease with a friend, but I think that I will make out a bit better....LOL, soooo I will be settin up my Reezen 6.5 this week....will post pix when I get her done!

Sorry its been so long!

Thoughts to ponder

As I sat at my trusty fletching table today at the archery shop, I was thinking with bow season here in S. GA roughly 60 days out, what are your thoughts about the up and coming season?

Is it the thought of your first P&Y, or simply the ole slick head to break the season in, almost in a "first blood" type deal? I know for me, it is to break a horrible dry spell with whitetails! It has been (I am almost to embarrased to say this) but 15 years since I shot my last deer. Granted, there have been many trips to the "sandbox" that have caused me to miss many a year in the deer woods, but I hope to break the ice this year a hopefully get things back on track!

How bout all of you? What are you looking forward too? This is just one buck from the Big Buck Expo in 07 from the Muzzy 300 club! How would this be for the first buck of the year?

Hello everyone!

Well, this is my first blog, so bear with me! I started this to get my interests out there and let everyone know just how much I love the outdoors and archery. The sport in general is what intrigues me the most, so not only am I a bow hunter, but I LOVE to shoot, talk about it or tweek and tune my personal bow.

I guess I should give you some background about me, I am 35 years old, soon to be 36, but who's counting right?? LOL, anyway I am married have a wonderful wife of fifteen years and have three children ranging from 19 to 17 and an 8 month old Grandson! I know, I know I am too young to be a Grandpa right? Maybe so, but I love every minute of him being around so I think I will keep him! LOL.

I am from PA originally and grew up in the outdoors both hunting, fishing and learning about critters in general. Thanks to my Dad I learned to bowhunt and it sort of has manifested itself into a monster! I started shooting when I was 11 and got my first job in a pro shop in Illinois. That was where my interest in it really peaked and it was not until about 3 years ago that I decided that archery was what my future will hold! I currently work in a pro shop in S. Georgia and shoot 3D when I can (we are very busy this time of year) and just love all aspects of the sport.

I shoot a Mathews Drenalin, Easton arrows and on the fiels staff of the best broadheads anywhere, Grim Reaper! Please check them out if you have a chance! http://www.grimreaperbroadheads.com/

I also write a modern bowhunting coloumn for Tom Sorenson at http://www.basecamplegends.com/, they are a great bunch of guys that will tell you all you need to know about elk and mule deer huting.

There is another local couple here in Georgia that I hope you all will check out and drop them a line to let them know how they are doing with their quest to break into the outdoor adventure world by doing some video work of thier own hunts, so zip em an email or drop them a line on their website http://www.lovintheoutdoors.com/. Phillip and Anna are awesome people who have a passion for the outdoors like you have never seen!!

I look forward to getting to know everyone and making some new friends on here and I will keep everyone posted on some bow tuning tips, whitetail info, new bow products and many other things as well as once hunting season starts, share some of my stories afield and hope some of you do the same!

Take care everyone!!

Scott
