***OFFICIAL 2015 Live from the Stand Thread***

I just got done with a stare down with a psycho tree rat. Apparently my set is in HIS tree. Thought I was going to have to arrow him to get him to shut up. Ha ha.

I had to do that one year hunting out of a blind, he set on a branch right outside the window and barked non-stop for about 30 mins, couldn't take it anymore so I pinned him to a tree....

 

Got about an hour and a half of legal time left, but with trees holding most of their leaves I probably only have an hour of shooting light left.

 

I second the tree rats!
Wind is laying. It is a little warm but we'll see.

 

Just had opossum wander by, so far that's it but the wind is starting to die down. Should be picking up soon hopefully.

 

I'm in an old ladder stand I put up about 12 years ago. Haven't hunted it in years but damn, it looks good!

 

Just had a shooter to my north at 70 yrds and moving to the south east behind me now. Dono what buck it was never had a shot

This picture shows how thick it is behind me they get on ya quick.

 

Another deerless sit. I'll try again tomorrow afternoon. May try another bow area, I'm seeing tons of sign and minimal deer in this current area

Bucks are still mostly nocturnal here. Hard to catch them on their feet during daylight hours. Rain and temp drops, plus some colder winds are going to break the ice on buck movement come next Thurs into Fri here in Northern VA.

 

Brett that property I took you to last year is on fire right now. I let me buddy hunt it he has pics of like 3 or 4 shooters, big ones. So the rut is heating up in MD. Looking to get down there and hunt it maybe next wkend. He just had a kid so he won't have much time

Hello all!

First post here on the site, which coincides with my 1st full year in a tree. Have been on about 6 sits hunting in Southern New Hampshire. so far with no luck. Did see a big fisher cat which was this morning. Look forward to reading and learning from all of you.

 

Button buck, fawn, and one doe this evening. Today was oddly slow. Things just aren't ready here yet.

 

Figured out my over sleeping issue. Use phone for alarm, when first alarm goes off I set phone back down screen up. Speaker in the back and it muffles the sound quite a bit.

Hassle free.morning tomorrow #knocksonwood

 

I'll be out in the morning. Anyone doing any decoying and/or rattling yet?

Just had to get up to take the dog out and wow it's absolutely gorgeous out. 4:30 can't come soon enough!

 

Had a 130 incher walk away from me at 30 yards didn't offer a shot which I prob would have taken. I tried grunting and rattling to bring him back as he got 65 yards out but he just looked over his shoulder and slowly walked away uninterested. Was an hour before sundown so he was up early...

 

Never trust the written forecast. Winds were supposed to be NE overnight pulling around to East throughout the day.

Check the weather and they have been W all night and now bot set to turn NE until about the time I would need to climb down.

Really don't feel like blowing a spot just to say I went.

 

Back up in the swamp for the morning sit, hour and a half until shooting light hurry up sun and deer!!!
