Do we want to do the same weekend or go a weekend later and bowhunt like last year?

 

[finelyshedded]

I say we do it like last year around the 3rd weekend of October.

 

[finelyshedded]

I doubt DOW will do another early muzzy though due to low harvest numbers.

 

[Dannmann801]

Don't matter what October weekend you picked, I'd be there.
My druthers would be the muzzy weekend though if it happens again -

(ain't no damned deer in the woods anyway - gotta changeup the gameplan next year)

 

[Archertl]

Im going to try to make it regardless if it is with my bow or flintlock.

I can't really vote because I'm not sure what will be going on again with the boys and football, but if I had to pick I'd probably choose the muzzy weekend again just to see some deer in camp. Doesn't sound like anybody missed opportunities on good bucks this past weekend.

 

[Hoytmania]

Doesn't matter to me. I'll be there no matter what weekend is picked.

As long as it isn't the first weekend of October I'm good....

I'm good with whatever, enjoyed both. This year we killed 7 with fewer actually out hunting (I think), last year we killed 5. It makes no difference to me if we actually kill anything or not. I would show up with a shotgun and 22 if we decided to do a squirrel hunt...and I'm not kidding, we could fill a pickup truck with squirrels, send the tails to Mepps and pay for the trip.

If we do it the third weekend, we could goose hunt the lake!

I say next year we find one of these deer hating farmers around Athens. Throw 20 bucks each his way for the weekend lease. Pre bait the hell out of the place and kill them like mad. We could even find a place with an available acre for camping. We could bait and use quads for deer retrieval. And if we get down in the flats it's fat boy friendly.

I'd be kinda partial TOO the 3d weekend. I'm gonna cut back on my cooking though...it's a LOT of work ! lol. I'm already planning on brisket one way or another, just the same.

I say we just switch it to the real Muzzleloader season. Everyone has fresh vacation (start of new year), it's cold (no bugs, no 80* weather), a little snow on the ground (great visibility), hot fire is even better, cabins with heaters........real gun season!

Actually looking back out of all the deer killed both years there has only been 3 that wasn't killed off of Rexs land.

I like this idea, but is there enough cabin space?

Where were the other 3 taken from?

I'm a sucker for winter.

Off of public land.
