    That’s awesome... had a similar experience last year with my buck. Climb my tree. Banged the antlers together and he came charging in. was on stand a grand total of 12 mins, and that’s counting the time it took to climb the tree... congrats!!!

    Thinking tomorrow is going to be my day. Been at it for 8 years, no buck yet. Grabbed some tinks 69, going to try it out with a doe decoy. Going to be COLD tomorrow, I am looking forward to testing this IWOM out in that weather. Lord willing, I will be posting my FIRST trophy photos.

    40 hrs in the stand this week I have seen 2 4pts and 5 doe. The only rut activity I was party to was a couple rabbits. He ran her by me 10 times. Time is beginning to wane and only got tonight and tomorrow. It's been fun MO but your rut disappointed. Hoping for a change this evening.

    Alright. I relocated to a totally new spot I've never hunted. Tip on where a big buck was 3 days ago and I came up with a quick plan. Hoping he gets pissed about some grunts and rattles. I think he is likely bedded within about 200 yards. If he hasn't totally checked out but this is where the does hang around.

    Well this rut has shown me how important early archery season is. I think pa rut is 2 weeks out. Bucks still feeding and could careless about does.

    Congrats Frankie!

    Got to sleep in with the kiddo this morning, had a great morning. Now I'm up and out, feels lucky. 25 degreebtemp drop from yesterday, bundled up for the duration.

    2 hawks guarding a kill on the way in, must be a good omen, right???[​IMG]

    Not sure what that is but does not sound fun. Are you able to use a crossbow where you hunt?
