Back in the stand. Sitting over a bunch of acorns between bedding and a cut corn field. Hoping crooked brow walks in front of this downed tree
First post in his thread because I forgot my phone this morning. Sitting over some acorns right now hoping to drop something tonight. The squirrels are rather rowdy tonight! Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Just had 4 in the plot. Small 8, 4 and 2 does. Walked out 20 yards to my left but had no shot. I'm pissed at myself for not taking the time to clear lanes for this stand. Oh well, lesson learned.
After those 4. 11 does and two small bucks came in. Too far out (60 yards). Wheeler on neighbors property scared some away so about 5 now. The two bucks were fighting a little. Spike and another small 8.
Nothin here yet. Saw a coon walk down the creek bed. On the bright side, I have a skeeter buzzing around me big enough to have a tick on it
Pretty good afternoon. Saw 20+ deer and 5 smaller bucks. Just need to make a few adjustments and ill be good.
Well I almost got it done...Was out since 1030, passed on so many shots on doe because I may only have 2-3 weeks until they start construction on a pipeline here, so wanted to hold out for a buck. Well last light he showed up. Not sure what he was but he was big. At least an 8pt and at least 130". Not super wide but heavy horned and bodied, I looked at his G2s they were 10"+ and G3s were 6"+, so Thats all I needed. Well outside the ears. He came in behind me, kept switching side to side keeping me on my toes. Finally he walked 3 yards behind my tree, I switched sides, he was about 10 yards out, quartering away, head down (I think, I was lookin where I wanted to hit), I started to draw and he took off. Idk if he caught me out the corner of his eye or what. He ran 30 yards then walked off from there. Never looked at me, he was up wind and no where near where I walked, and it was getting pretty dark so I should have been harder to catch moving. Im so happy I seen so many deer and got to see a great mature buck, but cant help but be sad and wonder what happened.
Well right at last light I put an arrow through one. He dropped and before I could put another one in him he got up and limped off. I'm giving it another 15 mins then I'm going to pursue Sent from iPhone
