Shot a doe this weekend, October, 18th. Plan to hunt some more. I'm giving the doe to the landowner who lets me hunt his wonderful deer filled property.

Checked my rear acreage this afternoon. Tearing up the mineral rock. Lots of fresh tracks in the ground I plowed 5 days ago, several nice size tracks!!! Getting excited. Will put my climber out tomorrow so it will be common place in three weeks when gun season opens.

Thought I had a deal on a complete Bow set-up for $200 (including arrows and hard case), but was already sold by the time I got to seller.

Went last weekend for the opening of muzzleloader here in Ark. Dropped a nice size doe. Saw a great 8 point buck, but a brown bear decided to wander close to us and sent my trophy in the other direction. If I had my sidearm with me, I would have shot a the bear.........but one shot from a muzzleloader on a bear.......I dont trust my shooting abilities that much.

Also TONS and TONS of squirrels. They are extremely large this year. Got about a dozen in the frezer for chili and stew.

Muzzleloader on a bear would be fine, all about shot placement like everything else. We shoot them with bows up here

My dad shot one a couple years ago with a hickory selfbow we made.

Good luck to all. I have downed my fair share of deer. Don't care much about killing any more. Not to say I would let MR. Wallhanger walk. I just love to be at camp with the guys and the smell of the woods. Other than home no place better on earth than deer camp.

My dad and I are bow hunting whitetail in CT right now. But a few weeks ago my dad went Caribou hunting up in Canada.

Here's what he got:
