I'm hunting out west of Odessa with my buddy Rloving on this forum, he and I hunt a lot together..We will also do a week of hunting in Oklahoma in November (that's our yearly hunt at his familes ranch).

Good grief I can't wait till bow season starts, I've been ready since the season ended!

Well it depends if we close on the house in time. Might be hunting in Weatherford in the backyard.

Otherwise at the Farm between Santo and Palo Pinto.

Re: Where is everyone hunting opening week end? - 09/18/10 01:40 PM

You're right about that. I have some pictures of some really good
deer this year. The acorns are thick and so are the antlers. I've killed five rattlesnakes in camp also. Be careful and good hunting.

Opening weekend in Sterling County, then traveling to my other lease in Baylor County probably about Monday. So far Sterling County cameras are showing more big buck numbers, but Baylor County is showing more bucks during shooting hours.

Baylor County typically does not come on strong until the wheat comes up, but it looks good early. I do have some huge hogs on that lease though, and absolutely ZERO hogs in Sterling County.

I honestly cannot wait. My Z7 is shooting so good right now.

Re: Where is everyone hunting opening week end? - 09/24/10 03:14 AM

Are you really able to shoot a deer out of that tripod sticking out in the open like that? I am just curious because I have never used a tripod to bow hunt - only tree stands or pop up ground blinds. I would have thought that you would need to "bury" it in amongst the trees or brush to hide your outline.

I actually bought two tripods to use in Sterling County. I basically set them up in the middle of some mesquite trees to hide myself in the brush. I will hunt out of them on opening day in a couple of weeks. I just never would have thought that you could have set them up out in the open like that.

Just curious cause I went to alot of work to hide mine.

Posted By: AdgerC15

Re: Where is everyone hunting opening week end? - 09/24/10 03:25 AM

lots of bursh/burlap/shade are needed for tripods to bowhunt IMO. out in the open your screwed

Re: Where is everyone hunting opening week end? - 10/01/10 09:35 PM

SW of Graham on the lease and some closer public. But, I am going to pass on the opener and get some honey do's done so I can focus on more hunting later. I will let the opening weekend pressure pass on the public land. On private; out of 4 game cameras I am seeing some legal bucks, but none I want to take right now. Besides I am the only semi serious bowhunter on my lease so whatever my first day to bowhunt is, will be my opening day. The year round feeders have been cranked up, cows moved off, and the Wheat fields planted last week. As well with zero pressure on our place right now, more Does should move in from the neighbors. Traditionally things get better on our lease farther into October as the Bucks break up and get more interested in the coming rut.
