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

I'll know more when I get home

I didn't hunt this spot Friday and there was a decent 8 right here at 9AM

 

On my way out to the stand goodluck all

 

seen 14 but I think 4 of them were the same. So I prob only seen 10... 7 does and 3 spikes. Was a eventful and beautiful morning in the stand!

 

Didn't see anything but a zillion chickadees, squirrels, and a fox...

I am not going out this afternoon....wanna spend the rest of the day with the wife...going to the movies . the real fun starts this Friday and the 12 days that follow

 

Anyone else out right now Im looking around from my other set and im counting rub after rub all around me.... I can see at least 15 rubs from this set wonder who's making them.... maybe ill find out tonight

 

Out for the first time in a new stand location with a brand new stand tonight. Overlooking a bedding area and 75 yards from my clover foodplot. The new stand is a muddy outfitter hangon and so far is really comfortable and stable. Here's the views. Foodplot in the upper right of the second photo

 

Just had a basket 8pt come in

 

You gonna crush him?

 

Na ill wait...

 

I'm jealous of you central states guys with your higher deer populations haha good luck!

 

Well at least u guys have moose... we have moose here in ny but cant hunt them where in Maine are u

 

Way up north about 20 minutes from Canada. Moose is a lottery here. My friend's dad put in 25 years before he got a tag. I'm going on 5 years. Sometimes you get lucky though. Much better chance of hitting one with your car. I'd take better deer anyday

 

Omg 25 years I think that's messed up like if ur a resident for years and years they should rotate the tag system for u guys...

 

25 years is uncommon but I bet it'll take me 10 to get one. The meat is good and lots of it, but its kinda like shooting a cow as far as fun goes. They aren't very smart

 

All set up in an oak patch. First time in this spot this year wind is wrong tho and the woods are crowded. At least no crabby wife tho. Lol

 

Last time I was in maine I was in bangor at the casino and raceway for work... and I remember seeing bumper stickers that said "dont stop for moose, it will fill ur freezer" now I know why just hit one with the cars so u dont have to deal with lottery lol

 

Goodluck... and we all know about crabby wives...

 

Yeah pretty much. When I used to drive more, I'd almost hit one every other month, but you have a lot of close calls before you do. I hit the back hooves of one about 5 years ago. Cracked the bumper so I got lucky. I live about 3 hours north of bangor

 

Yeah it took me about 7 hours get to bangor... that drive sucked plus it was in the middle of winter and it snowed the whole time and was like -28 out the whole time... my nose froze instantly as I walked outside...

 

Ready to go. Hoping to get a wall hanger on the ground tonight
