I have a 2008 left hand Diamond Edge bow for sale, this has not been used very much at all. I got it for my son on Christmas and he shot it that day and one more then he hung it up. It has a Qad fall away rest and a trophy ridge 3 pin sight. Cost is $240 plus s&h.
This us Sunday 11/17/13, it is Sunday afternoon, which is the last day of the segment B hunt. I been in a climbing tree stand fo 2 1/2 days archery hunting. I have yet to see a deer within range that i had a shot at, I had a doe running by me at 20 yds yesterday afternoon but no shot. Overall it has been really slow hunting for the whole segment. There are about 75 hunters hunting segment B.
The deer get really big here, big racks that is, several of the Texas bow record bucks come from here. The place is mythical. The bucks grow to world class size and the average joe bowhunter can harvest a Pope and Young deer for a small fee.
Here i am sitting in my tripod Sunday morning at first light, the feeder just went off and scared some birds off, they will be back. There was a hard thunder storm last night here, me and Morgan were going to head up here yesterday afternoon and hunt last night but the weather reports scared us, good thing as it would have been a rough night in the tent. We got up at 4 am and drove up here. We will hunt this morning and evening and in between we will go and scout at Hagerman. We have hunted up here four different weekends, I shot and skinned a pig one weekend and three weeks ago I shot a 85-100 lb pig, deer are scarce as hens teeth around here and now it looks like the pigs have disappeared.
Opening day in Crockett National Forest 2013 kinda sucked. The morning was a great day to be in the woods, it would have been better to see a few deer but I didn't. So we leave our climbing tree stands in the woods and head back to camp, eat us a big brunch. There is me, Morgan, Joe, BJ, Greg and Felix there enjoying ourselves and the game warden shows up,which is not a big deal except that Felix gives the GW a old license that does not have a archery stamp and he is going to write him a ticket and says to Felix "Didn't I write you a ticket for the same thing the last time you were down here?" Turns out Felix finds his new hunting license. Well it turns out he didnt write the ticket this time, but it was a buzz kill anyways. Then it starts to rain, luckly we had a big tarp up for shade and shelter. Between the heat, rain and humidity, the weather really sucked, but good friends and food helped make for a good time.
This is the evening hunt on the last weekend to hunt for whitetail deer in Grayson County,Texas. We didn't kill anything this year, we only seen a few and only one was in bow range for me. We seen pleanty of activity on our cams but the majority of movement was at night. The acorns from the white oaks were as big as a thumb nail and as plentiful as fire ants so I think the combanation of that and the warm weather kept the deer from having to roam for food. It can be frustrating at times not seeing any animals but I guess thats why they call it hunting and not killing. We don't seem to have many hunters around us and that could be another reason for not seeing deer. We have discussed planting food crops for the next season and more scouting so we will see.
