My back is feeling good enough to be setting in a treestand. I hope I can put some more points on the board for us.
If you get a chance, check out my nephew's buck. He posted as "My first deer ever!" He's just 13. Make him feel wecome. Thanks.
My video was edited today should be up. Your gonna be able to find it under the Siman brothers outdoors post, sbo's Facebook and mine and my friends new page just for us.

Just booked another trip. Going to ohio first hunt day is nov 4. And Missouri nov 21st. 5 day hunts. Wish I filmed my hunts.
Well guys. I killed my biggest buck to date this morning. But to start off, can't use him for contest cause he was killed with a rifle. But who cares! Saw 7 bucks this morning and he wasn't even the biggest one. Got in stand early and waited for sun up, I was hunting a creek with white oak trees all over the place. Around 8 a small 8 pt and a doe walked by and I drew back on them but couldn't get a shot. Then at 9 I had a big cowhorn come through and shortly after him came my first buck. He was running around through the trees so I grabbed my rifle and shot pretty quick. I was excited, he then was my biggest buck. 20 mins later a see horns walking. Pull my binos out and it's a nice 10 pt. I grab the rifle again, but can't get on him for all of the trees. After I lose sight of him, I see a big body coming from the direction he left, he comes and sniffs the buck I just shot and POW! He runs 20 yards towards me and falls. But this isn't the 10 pt I just saw! It was a palmated old 8 pt. And of course, after these 2 are down, the 10 pt comes to sniff both the downed bucks! I let him walk, didn't want to take 3 deer in one sit and he will be a nice deer next year!
Awesome, Z7! I can't wait to be on vacation next week. It should be a magical week to be in the woods.
Two more nights to work until VACATION!!! I am planning to hunt a little tomorrow morning before work. I've had several bucks showing up at one of my stands. Need wind out of the West or Southwest for a morning hunt. Weather forecast is for SW wind in the morning.
I've been working the past two weeks. It was Juvenile weekend here in TN. So Monday I will be back in the Stand again....can't wait.
A good friend of mine has a 12 year old son that has been trying hard to kill a deer with a bow this year and has been struggling. Last night I took him to a "honey hole" of mine and with about 15 minutes of shooting time left, he got a 12 yard shot at a mature doe and took it. The hit was just a little far back so we opted to back out. This morning, I took his Dad out to help track and we found her after about 200 yards of a very faint trail. Its too bad that his son had to be in school for the tracking job, but he is still very excited to get a deer. Lots of fun! Also, I let a 150ish 10 walk past at 10 yards. He was around all year last year and I just want to see what he might look like next year if he makes it. I think he is 4 1/2 years old. I am having trouble getting on to really good bucks this year so he may end up being in trouble later in the season. lol I am just starting to hunt now and will get a doe for our points soon!
I got to hunt last night for myself. After two days of rain, it stopped at about 2:30. By 4pm I was in a tree overlooking cut corn. I saw 9 bucks but 6 of them were dinks. They were really moving. One was a decent 2 1/2 year old and the other two were toads. I may have screwed up letting a mid 150's 9 point walk right past me after grunting him in. If he was a 10pt I would not have hesitated for one second. I picked up the bow and hit him with the range finder but hesitated to shoot. The other buck that I had just seen was a much better 10 point and I guess I just was not ready to punch a tag yet. I will be back out this evening and will hunt hard this weekend. Good luck guys!
