The look of defeat. Now I have a 3 mile walk of shame out... Fortunately half the here ran the way I'm headed!
Hoping the juice boxes and a tablet help us make it until dark this year. I’d give my left nut to have something walk by tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Been settled in for a bit but had some limbs I needed to groom. Tight quarters in here. Quiet and calm. Kill! Sent from my SM-G960U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I'm out. Try again tomorrow. Ground blind in the AM. Everything is on the menu. Evening, I think i may get on my feet and go rogue. Every Buck I've killed since 2012 I've taken from the ground. So, I think i will walk between the corn edge and hedge row, which is 100yds behind the owners house, starting at 2:30 until I find a well worn path coming through the hedge. Then I'll just pluck myself down on a log and see what comes.
Big goose egg for me tonight. That walk out kicked my ass. Good workout though, glad I’ve been practicing LOL good luck anyone else who is still out.
Winding down for the two of us. She got to see a few deeper in the woods and got excited. For now we’ll call it a win and celebrate with grandpa and some hot chocolate. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Nothing for me tonight. Coyotes got really close just not close enough. Sent from my SM-G960U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Sometimes the hunter has to turn into the "rutter" to truly understand his prey. Start scent checking....
LC was awfully quiet tonight...curiosity has me wondering if he connected or plain forgot his whole quiver Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
If I were younger and single... But great eye candy on a day of low lows and awesome highs. (a bit more detail in our team 2 thread). One of the girls had a prosthetic leg and was working her way down a 14-er mountain. When my hip hurts tonight, it won't be so bad. Besides I made a friend with one of their dogs. Who enjoyed some water from my water bladder.
I was hunting. I got all set up and reached for my phone to make the obligatory "set up" post and realized that I'd left it at home. I actually debated climbing down and going back home to get it. Then I realized how stupid that would be. I only saw two does and I could have killed either one of them. I shot 9 minutes of Tactacam footage and even drew on one just for the heck of it but I wasn't going to shoot a doe this evening. I certainly wanted to because the lead doe did what I hate most: It tracked me to my tree. They came out of the cut-over about 90 yards away and headed west. They went right to the tree I had been hunting. Then they turned south and I thought to myself "Good". The lead doe hit my walk in trail, put her nose down and hound-dogged me right to my tree. I don't know what it is about these shoes I wear that makes them do that. I used to wear a pair of Merrill boots and when does would hit my trail they'd take off. Three years ago I bought a pair of Hoka hiking boots and ever since I bought them the stupid does track me to my tree. I've thought about wearing the Merrill's when I don't want to kill does, but the down side to that is that the bucks don't seem to mind my Hoka boot trail much either. I wish THEY would track me to my tree.
