I'm going scouting tomorrow. Might even get a spotting scope to do some long distance scouting of a couple spots that are hard to get at with prevailing winds. Shall see...
We had all the guys out to the property Saturday to do some treestand checks and clear a few trails. A bit late in the year but we don't hit it to hard until the last week in October.
I got my new Bow Press, the Bow Time Machine today. Got it put together in no time, and had my daughters Diamond pressed and fixed in just a couple minutes. Awesome press.
Sweet press, Kevin. There have been times I could have used one instead of taking a trip to the archery shop. Every time I go to the shop I leave with something I didn't plan on buying, and probably didn't need. Lol
I'm going Salmon fishing on the Lower Manistee this weekend so no deer related activities for me. My brother and nephew will be out for the youth hunt on Saturday. He's 8 but it's his 3rd year hunting. My brother wants him to shoot the first deer in range so we will see if he shoots or holds out for a buck like he has wanted to the last couple years.

Beautiful fish, I hope to bring back a few pics. I try not to let weather dictate my hunting and especially fishing, so like you I'll be there regardless.
Shooting the bows at our clubs Platform/broadhead area. Zero to 45 yards. Love shooting there in the evenings getting ready for the last light shooting coming up soon.

Still in minysoada, just got out of the bush yesterday, heading home now. Great trip. Caught a few fish and had a great time in the wilds of the boundary waters. Awesome place!
well, had a blast Salmon fishing. The fishing was slow. I had on a few fish, caught one, my son caught 2. Only one really fresh fish. We floated a section of the Betsie, and it was all fished out except one tiny area where guys couldn't get to my foot. More cars on the road early in the morning then I've ever seen
Well the fishing was slow but the comradery was great! Our group caught a few fish but I was personally skunked on the Lower Manistee. The river was busy but only saw one hook up and everyone we talked to said the same thing... no fish!
My nephew was able to put a doe down saturday night for his first deer ever!
Lol sounds like we all are in the same area with a few properties. I have 80 acres at us10 & lake station ave. And some at 115 and cedar road by the buckhorn. The 40 in Mount Pleasant is near the college. I seem to have a couple good deer running around each property though. Congrats on the fish guys and congrats to your nephew on his doe. Looks like a good one!
My pals family farm is just off N Vandecar Rd. in north Central Isabella Co. It's pretty rare when we kill a good buck but I love heading up there. There's something about getting up north (for me anyway) that really makes it feel like deer season. Also being a few minutes from Jay's isn't a bad thing.
I grew up in Cadillac, and have lived in the suburbs of Detroit as an adult. So, getting up north does the same thing for me. Everyone goes to school on opening day down here! What a bummer!
