Pulling for Larry and Belinda in this new part of the attack…It was sad that things hadn’t gone as planned and makes me pull for them even that much more,Web Mom.

Prayer is the only thing for me to try and make a difference now that the battle continues. May God bless you and yours,Larry Fischer! God speed!!

Sincerely yours,

Wayne Barcalow

P.S. Got those purple knocks on my hunting arrows with me every hunt,Larry. Won’t forget you during the hunt!

Scott(Paleoman)and Ralph(R2)…give ’em hell,fellas!I’m going to be hunting solely on Saturdays for rest of the year.I start school on Monday, 150 miles from here in Columbus.Leaving in a few hours.

Go get that hatrack buck you saw,Scott, and report back here for all of us to read.

Ralph…happy anniversary to you and the missus! Family things are the most important items to tend to,but take that time to get that wall hanger.

Above all…enjoy! Wayne

in reply to: How many times per week do you hunt? #61953

I usually get out two or three times per week,giving days in between to let the area be cleansed of my presence. But,when the rut is on I usually try to be out somewhere all day long. The exception to this is going to be this season,as I’m starting heavy equipment school Monday and will be gone Sunday thru Friday for the next nine weeks. I’ll hit it hard on Saturdays. It’s great just being out there…:wink:

Bruce…I had wondered what was going on with you now.Guess there are other things to do beside hunt and talk to your buddies about it.:roll: I’ve been trying to fill my deer tags but haven’t had a real close encounter yet. Also,have seen as many coyotes as deer.

Ralph…That sure is a nice muley you got a few years back.I can see why you were alarmed at seeing the left side of his rack when you already had a whitetail.I heard that they do interbreed where their territories overlap.Keep us updated.

This is a good thread for keeping track of everyone’s season.Glad you come up with the idea,Bruce.:D Wayne

p.s. Some really good pics,Mr.Smithhammer!

Got to my stand in gray light and settled in for the morning.Watched several squirrels and some chipmunks get their days rolling,and just basically enjoyed watching the woods come to life.

At 8:15,I heard some footfalls down the hill from me to my right and saw two coyotes slinking through the woods and heading for the side hollow used by the local deer as a bedding area.

Other than jumping a doe on the way out,the morning was uneventful.Rut should be heating up soon…:roll: Wayne

Alex,glad to hear you were able to score.I’m looking to fill my antlerless tag or buck tag before I attend heavy equipment training in Columbus,Oh.the 28th of this month.(too long a story,but my company closed in Sept.)

I’m happy for your success and want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday!! 🙂 Wayne

in reply to: Hi Everyone #9760

Good to have you back, Steve. It’s been awhile since you chimed in!

Haven’t heard hide nor hair from Dave,T.Downing,or Alex….I just hope they’re having a good time on their hunts, maybe some success.

I think they’ll check in on the 2013 Bulletin Board thread.

Hey….don’t be a stranger. 😉 Wayne

Bruce, a clean miss is easier to live down than a bad hit…:roll: Our whitetail season is still a few weeks off and I don’t quite feel ready. Good luck,my friend. And to one and all, hit ’em hard! Wayne

ps Going out in the back yard and fling some arrows to raise my confidence level.
