Back at it again got in the stand a little later than I would of liked to also had my climber fall over on some rocks...so far I've seen about 50 tree rats and a fox
First morning hunt of the year for me....45 and raining....good news is rain just stopped....had my first epic fail of the year this morning....watching a decent buck at 30 yds making a scrape 15 min before shooting hours....thinking this is gonna get good....next thing I know my alarm on my phone goes off!!! Epic fail!!!! Two turkeys and one doe since. Hope it gets better.
Had a six point come in to some light rattling/grunting he then bedded 20 yds from me for almost an hour if he gave me a shot I prolly would have let him have it but he got up and went the other way

Congratulations on the coyote! I drew on one this morning but couldn't get a clear shot. Back at the stand til dark! Good luck everyone! Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
It was pretty awesome, happened so quickly..... I gotta start videotaping. He came in from my left through some thick cedars.....stopped, turned to his right and luckily walked into a opening I had just cut out. I drew back, turned to my left....*bonk* hit the stand with bow, he stopped, got on him just in time when he looked up and let er' fly!
Well I managed to get to a treestand this afternoon. Last day of vacation. I had 4 days of pouring rain (hunted some anyway) and 3 days of huntable weather. I saw some deer during my time off but never loosed one arrow. As per my luck, tonight as I was hitting the ground from my tree there were 3 does in the drainage field behind me. When I got to the property I found a fresh rub 40 yards to my left and a fresh scrape 30 yards to my right. At least I know my stand is in a travel path still. As I was leaving I put out some preorbital scent on the licking branch and I peed in the scrape. I'll be hitting the property as often as possible. I believe there might be at least 1 descent buck there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Got into stand at 6 overlooking freshly cut cornfield waiting for shooting light. Is there anything better!!!!!!!
I'm been in the stand since about 0545 havent seen anything yet but its raining off and on so I hope what I'm hearing is movement and not rain falling from the canopy lol Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Its cold, wet, and windy. Heard a deer blow about 200-300 yards away but that's it. Not even seeing the normal squirrels. Pushing myself to stay out. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Im going to assume when the scent lok guys say forget the wind just hunt they meant direction and not mph
Up in the tree filming for my buddy we will see how this goes. Got a west wind its about 68 degrees now they are cutting corn south east of us good luck to everyone hunting Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

hope you guys had some success tonight!!! I'm heading out in the morning...it's going to frost here in central il tonight and the wind is going to die down in the am...should produce some deer activity tomorrow...hope the bucks are really working my area!!!! I will post more from the stand
Well im getting ready to get dressed to walk to my stand. 37degrees 1 mph N wind and a great morning to hunt. Its almost like this is opening weekend with the weather finally changing.
