PNWGator,
My biggest concern is I don’t want to be looked at as a bragger. I know a few hunters that are that way and I despise that kind of attitude. Yes I am proud of the taking this buck after a 2 year chase but consider myself to be a pretty humble person.
Thanks for the opinions guys. With what Cnelk said, I’ve always said, no one respects a big black bear more than a “good” bear hunter and no one respects a big buck more than a “good” deer hunter.

My son and I should draw Southern Iowa in 2024. Never hunted this region as we are from northern Michigan. We will be bow hunting and want to time it right being that it takes several years to draw. What are the best weeks to bow hunt in November?
Hey Bakpaker. My son and I are planning a deer hunting trip this year to the bow only areas. Looking at Tomblin WMA in Logan county. Any tips or suggestions. We are planning a scouting trip for the middle of March.
Hello J. Nice public land buck! I am from northern Mi and planning a bow hunt in the mountains of SW West Virginia. Bow only counties. Any tips or pointers on deer hunting the mountains would be much appreciated. Never hunted mountains before.
Hello WV roach. I’m from northern Michigan and looking at bow hunting with my 27 year old son next fall in SW West Virginia. Looking into the bow only counties. Any suggestions or pointers?
I see. Thanks BG. I can set all day so that’s not an issue. Sound like a guy should do a lot of scouting ahead of time to try an locate one. Appreciate your comments.
Sorry I just saw you comment. Yes we did go to Mo on a public land bow hunt. Had a great time. Cheap hunt but wasn’t very impressed with the deer we seen. We hunted Rebels cove. Went the last week in October. Fair amount of people. Everyone we talked to said it gets worse the later you go. I’m...
We applied for a general license and it was good for the entire state except for restricted areas. I would contact the Montana DNR to be sure. They are very helpful and friendly.
