I didn't see anything while hunting. On my way there a big 2.5 11 pointer chased two does across the road in front of me.
I'm just not seeing rutting activity where I'm hunting.. checked the trail cam I have a group of 7 does in broad daylight then I'm catching bucks at night.. I don't think it's going on there yet.. I've seen smaller bucks running around while driving but almost no rut action while hunting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The rest of the hunt was a bust as well. My buddy had 2 good bucks in the field late and said that they hung out together with does in the field as well. No sign of rutting activity from the bucks other than a little scent checking. 10+ hours in the stand today was brutal. Temps hit the upper 70s and no movement at all on my side made for a long afternoon. I hate to say it but I'm a little burnt out, to many bust sits in a row. I hope to hunt Sunday morning with my daughter. That will be her first real serious trip to the stand. Hopefully she can tough it out for few hours.
I hear ya on the busts sits.. haven't seen a deer in my last 5/6 sits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well I was on my way home and as I was taking a right bend at about 40mph it was just there. Didn't have time to brake or swerve. My brand be car less then 2 weeks old.
Hahaha I'm sorry that's terrible but made me laugh.. I thought you meant you smoked one hunting lol at least you're ok.. as for your car... damn.... sorry to hear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You need a thermacell. This is my first year having one and buddy that thing works! Couldn't believe it. Normally we have enough mosquitos in our swamps to carry your butt away. Turn that thermacell on and the mosquitos seize to exist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is terrible!! Glad you're ok. I don't think they'll let us count that towards our points........................
Oh no doubt. I actually have 2 of them. I was in a hurry to get home and get to the stand. Since we moved I'm not sure where all the parts are at for both of them.
Ouch! Glad your okay. You got me GOOD! Did you atleast kill the buck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Back in the blind this morning. 36° and very light breeze. And so far nothing. My son in law watched a small buck work a scrap..
I'm in the stand this morning. Had a nice 2-1/2 year buck wall under me at gray light. Just had a doe with a yearling buck trailing walk by at about 40 yards. Don't have a range finder anymore because my backpack fell in the water on Wednesday. Or I would of shot the doe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Get 2 pics we'll try to submit it. Sorry man, I almost picked one off last night driving home from hunting.
Unfurtnatly it was not a clean kill. Me and 2 officers looked for 5min and it was open land for about 50yds and we didn't find anything. He was a very nice buck that I would have taken with the bow. I will be back out on a full day sit on Sunday.
Good luck to everyone getting out this weekend! I will be back out in the woods tonight. Looks like activity is really picking up around me hopefully all goes well. Just need to sneak out of work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
