Williamsburg Bow Hunter

Well, we’re a month into the season and its been a mixed bag so far. The only thing consistent has been the weather- hot and dry. We’re finally getting a break in the heat with some cool mornings and highs in the 80’s. Deer movement has been pretty good lately. I’ve had two shot opportunities and have been successful on one of them. Both shots are included in the video gallery so check them out and let me hear from you. Hope your season is going well. If not don’t worry. Things are getting ready to bust loose any day now. Later…

The 2025 season is a wrap and it was a mixed bag, some good and some not so good. I had nice kill early (9-18) and then I went all the way to sundown on the last day of the season before bagging my second, also nice, buck. Somewhere along the way, during the rut, I managed to miss a good buck because he wouldn’t stop for me. Not making an excuse, still should have made the shot. All in all I had a great season with a number of close encounters which is typical for bowhunting. Now it’s time to relax a little and catch up on some things I’ve let go due to hunting. I hope your season was enjoyable, and successful, as well. The 2026 season will be here before you know it! Later…

We’ve got another storm to contend with. Keeping my fingers crossed that we miss the rain we got a month ago. That would absolutely ruin our season. Hopefully we’ll get just a couple of inches.

Stay tuned……

One of my good friends sarcastically asked me if I was still maintaining my website. I told him absolutely but I need some fresh video. Ordinarily I would have killed at least one by now since bow season opened on August 15th. But, this has not been an ordinary season because of the storm that came ashore and dumped 15 inches of rain on us about opening day The result has been a gazillion blood-thirsty mosquitos which has kept me from hunting until just recently. Yesterday was only the fourth sit I’ve had this season. It’s just now become bearable and I actually yesterday afternoon had my first opportunity to shoot and I passed a good buck. I think I made a mistake doing that but I can’t go back for a redo and it is what it is. Anyway, things are looking up and hopefully I’ll have some “new material” soon. Good luck to you as well. Later…
