Its 440 am right now, very chilly and light rain, hopefully deer are on there feet and its worth sitting in the rain.....but your not gonna shoot one on your couch , wish me luck ROB ( OHIO )
I'm back out here in Scott county il. Different stand than last nite. It's about 55 degrees with nw wind and a slight rain.
Seen 3 doe and 2 small 1.5 year old bucks so far along with 9 raccoons. No shooters or hot chicks on horseback. Hoping my luck changes soon!
It feels good to be in the woods! I'm in Ogle County IL its 51 degrees 18mph winds. I juts had a nice tall rack 120-130 8pt & a small 6 go by @ 50yds.
Well I'm completely soaked but I think it's done rainin! I've seen a few does across the bean field but so far that's it. Here's a few pics of my setup. To the front Too the rear
Here is my view for the day. I snuck past 4 does on my way in to hide here. They are behind me hopefully coming this way. Good luck all
I have called it a morning. Nothing after those few really early and I didn't expect it to be so cold but I'll be back at it this afternoon!
MOURNING OF DAY 2 SUCKS.. got to stand this mouring had all the equipment I forgot yesterday. It rained all mouring till about 8. Around 8:10 a nice doe came out and she stoped at 30 yrds easy shot right. Well i let her have it. well as it turned out the arrow was fluttering in the air and i noticed it skimmed her brisket. I didnt know why I had everything I needed and well when i take the bow down and take a look there is a small twig that is moving up and down..... YES i hit that twig dead center and it made my arrow drop about 6 inches. so my mourning ends with white fur on the ground no blood and a broken heart
Just had a encounter with two monster mule deer. Got to within 60 of the smaller one (a big 5x4). Saw the monster 6x5 run across a field at 80 but couldn't get close to either for a shot. Sure got the heart pumping. I'm going to have to find more time to come out and hunt. These deer were massive
PLEASE be safe! About 8:10 this morning I heard sirens stop over by the public land that is close to the farm I hunt. About 20min later I hear a helicopter coming & its life-flight. I get down & drive over, the helicopter was gone but I talked to the CO. He told me a hunter fell out of his stand that was @ 14'. This happened in Lowden Miller state park. I don't know his condition but I'm sure he could use our prayers! Be safe a deer is not worth taking a chance on your life!
Not sure how well this will work. Going to try to stream live from he iPhone can someone tell me if it actually works and whether the feed is worth trying non 3G now but may not work on Edge when I get in stand. Use this link www.upstream.tv/channel/cls74
first sit just sat down for first sit of the year. jumped a doe comin in, but hopefully will still be a good night!
Been in the stand for about an hour now. I'm sitting over a bean field again, and the camera is rolling over shoulder, hopefully I can get lucky and get some kill footage on it.
Just got back in the stand after a bad mourning I'm hunting out of a ground blind tonight over a cut corn field
