Our archery season opened Sept 1. I made it out that afternoon. Was set up in the tree by 3:30 on a fence row between two standing corn fields. Around 7 a small fork horn came wandering out of the corn. I watched him for 15-20 min when he started looking over his shoulder. So I started checking the field with bino's and found him. It took a few minutes and he worked his way toward me. Took the shot at 25 yrds, he made it 40 yrds. It is the first buck I ever harvested in velvet.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Nice.  Is that a shadow or his coloration that runs across his nose/face?

Congrats!
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Honestly I am not sure.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field
