Re: EHD effecting deer numbers?

I drove an area today that was over 80 miles of 4 lane that use to be covered with deer laying that had been hit. Today not one single deer either morning or till now. I just found it sad we didn't see one deer alive or dead on the section of road.

EHD effecting deer numbers?

There are many reports of EHD deaths all around our state of Kentucky at this time. I know that our deer numbers are lower than last year and it is looking like it might be a tough task to get one down unless the rut gets them moving more. I hunted yesterday and was really bothered by the lack of si...

Re: Had the crosshairs on one

I'm alright most mornings but the late evening low light is just hard to judge at times. Wabi, I admire you for c...

Re: First Bear with Xbow

Congrats Hester, that looked like a fine bear 1st or last. We only have a two day season in about 4 counties and I have have never been bear hunting. I have seen bears near our home but we are in a closed area.

Draw hunt and choices.

I'm heading out to Bluegrass Army Depot on Friday to scout and put up my stand for the daylight to 2pm hunt on Saturday with my Excalibur. The weather Friday is suppose to be mixture of rain and NE winds so maybe I can scout without scaring too many deer in the 60 degree temps. The problem that I fo...
