24 Days n Wake-up til Opener

Post by vixenmaster »

Yup & i spect this yr will be a hard one fer me to kill some deer. I have had one yearlin Doe comin to the Feeder. My trail cam is set where i killed 4 of my 5 deer last yr. Not a pic on it of a deer. I have a Orphaned set of twins in the backyard. I have anutter set of twins wid their Mama & i have seen one 5 pt. I have BMW sighted in to 30 yds usin RazorTricks. My E'cet 165 isn't sighted in & won't be til BMW has killed her deer. I will sight in my other E'cet fer swhacker 2" 100gr over the next week if'en i get a chance

Our season starts Sept. 9th, I have at least 3 shooters on 1 tract of land that I'm getting pictures of and a bunch of small bucks and does on another tract. I hope to have 1 down opening day with the Matrix.

I will be using the QAD Exodus or my faithful Slick Trick mags. They both are grouping pretty good.

Sept 7th & 9th (different opening dates) for me here in NC. I'll be trying the Swhacker 125's and Rage chisel tip 125's this weekend. Also, I'll be pulling my first set of trail cam cards this year. Hope to see something nice. :D
