Title: Late Archery
Post by: Revwrangler on November 21, 2012, 07:18:19 PM: Well day one of late archery here on the Islands. It was wet and cold. Rained all day. Saw one deer. 50 yards out and right as I drew on it the a hiker's dog came barking and ran him off. Extremely frustrating.

Oh we'll. hopefully tomorrow morning goes better. Hope you all had better luck than I did.

The thing about island deer is that my Black Lab is usually bigger.
Looks funny to see a big rack on a dog sized animal.

And as far as small I agree but that's where I was fur thanksgiving so trying to work with what I got. If you can recommend somewhere better for me for this Saturday I will take tips gladly!
