    I liver shot my buck last year. Found him in a river. Checking water would be a good start if the wind won’t blow your scent into those woods he was headed towards. Do you have access to a teacking dog?

    Found my buck last night IN 3' of water! His entire head and most of his body submerged. Wounded deer always head to water. If not bumped they will die in or near it.

    No footage, didn’t have time to get the camera on. Wasn’t gonna miss the opportunity at a shot over fooling with the camera.

    Call the sheriff or game warden on her. Hunter harassment is a misdemeanor in most states.

    Good luck Wesley on finding your buck and good luck everyone else on your hunts today. I am sitting this Sunday out going to rest and go to church.


    Going to work Monday - Wednesday but still hunt afternoons those days then take off Thursday through Sunday to do some serious all day sits. Already have one Illinois buck down but have another and an indiana tag as well.

    Been seeing some pretty good seeking action, I am expecting this week and it's cold front to be very good and will see some serious chasing during that time frame.

    It's November!!!!

    It’s been an eventful morning, coyotes, turkey, the really nice buck, and some doe, oh and an abundance of geese, think we’re going to pull an all day sit

    My brother and I are in the same stands as yesterday's. He's already seen 5 deer - no shooters. I haven't seen anything yet.

    Good luck Wes.

    You might be surprised how well a conversation with crazy car lady may go. OR, you may find put she's a wacko...in that case, start saving evidence.

    Well the noises never stopped. I finally had enough and got down. Very disappointed. Game warden has been contacted and hopefully this will resolve peacefully. Wasn’t comfortable walking up and knocking on the door with her acting like that. Try again this afternoon probably
