I officially hate rain and full moons

It poorer soon after day break. Saw a lone deer,couldn't tell what it was. The rain has easier up now. My head / hat is soaked. Let's start over now.

 

50 and rainy this morning. A nice 8 was heading towards me alone at 715. When he crossed the creek I drew but he took over a minute to slowly navigate the slope. Once he was up and in range slightly quartered he picked up on me struggling to take the shot. So he galloped about 30 yards, I let my bow down, then he tried figuring out what was going on for a few minutes, snorted, and ran off about 75 yards. Maybe he will be back with a doe Saturday and a little preoccupied.

 

Sorry I meant quartering to and picked up on me struggling to hold my bow back.

 

Found his deer....half eaten by coyotes....liver/gut shot ...he is pretty bummed he lost the meat .... this is his first deer too

 

Nubber buck i call Tinker just brought momma in. Momma went to base of my tree and smelled linemans strap i laid there to move my stand with later, she didnt like it, ran and blew 3 times

 

I've had this happen with the biggest buck I have ever seen. Huge non-typical, stopped counting at 13. Came from behind, 5 more steps and I would've had a 10 yard shot. smelled by bow rope and turned around and walked back. I never leave anything down anymore.

 

I wont either now, you got my attention!

 

Sorry to here Tony!

 

4 point hot on trail now! Im not liking what i hear, i hear Dogs on trail of something!

 

Getting very gusty now, activity has slowed down. Going to wait 30 min, if nothing else im going to move stand 25 yards. This is going to up my chances very much if a shooter comes through! Love being mobile!

 

To windy here. I didn't even try it. Rain and 20mph winds.

 

40 mph winds here yesterday. Calm and 32 degrees now..perfect.

Any minute now

 

Just rattled in a 110 inch 8 pt. Pretty cool.

 

Ive seen 10 deer so far today in Indiana.

8 am 2 doe, 8:45 2 bucks 1 a 10 point not sure on other, 9:15 a button buck, 10:15 3 doe a fawn and a spike. The spike chased 2 of the doe off.

Winds at 10 mph, 42 degrees and light mist

 

Ever notice just how much DOESN'T go on in the woods? Kinda crazy. Other than the buck I rattled in and a squirrel, I've seen nothing.

 

Winds completely switched. Moved about 300 yds.

 

Haha, great point JGD. There is literally nothing going on in my woods either. But then again....wait....what was that

 

Group of 3 doe came through this morning. Moving up on top for last few hours. Will be windy but if the big boys are moving that's where I'll see them.

 

Just had a heavy 4pt walk by at 25 yds. and an armadillo has been rooting around my stand for the past hour.
