***Official Live From the Stand Thread 2021

This semi sickness is proving eventful. Now dealing with constant upper stomach pain. I will endure until dark and launch operation enema if necessary. Anything it takes to kill.

 

Today was kind of a let down, coldest morning had everything on the ground and shrubs glistening in a white frost. The kind of morning where that first buck steps out and you can see his breath puff out. Then nothing happened, for a long time

Actually had to check my messages to see what the hunter yesterday had said when he sat there. Said a lone fork came out about 7:30 and worked a scrape and nothing else. Until he climbed down and every doe on the property blew at him

7:30 came and went, then 8, then 8:30 and couldn't help but think about the stakd I sat in yesterday or the ground blind below the pond. Then heard the first squirrel of the morning, which when I looked stepped from under the limb and turned into a 3 pointer working a new scrape. Had to wait for him to get out in front of me to get camera out.



Better than nithing, let the party start. That was 8:48, nearly 2 hours go by when I catch movement to my left and put steps a small 5pt. Was 10:42 and all the frost had already melted off.



At 11:00 I seen the legs and bidy if a deer coming in from straight ahead behind a blow down. Wind swirled and it turned around and left. Assuming it was a doe as they seem to be a vut browner right now where the bucks more tan/grey. No clue what if anything was behind.

Then at 11:08 the last deer of the morning came out and proceeded to sniff my urine at the base of my stand



Then near disaster struck at 11:33'ish. My belly gurgled, then gurgled again and I went instant pucker. Climbed down as fast as I could and set up the port-a-potty

No more whiskey night before hunting.... ever

 

Cat and Fox so far. No deer yet. Cameras are showing last hour. Here is hoping. T minus 30 min till the last hour.

 

Don't forget to adjust your alarm on phone Sat. Night for the fall back change

 

I sitting next to corn field and the farmers is chopping it. I had a black bear come running out of it 2nd pass of the combine. Darn thing ran the other way. I have a tag TOO,
Sorry no picks , picked up my bow and was hoping he/ she would come my way

 

Up in, little late, but it's November 4th.

Not real high hopes tonight. Running on very little sleep, wind changed and is totally wrong. Forgot a bunch of crap.

Need an attitude adjustment.

If that's the worst thing that happened to you today, I'd say you've had a good day.

 

I can smell that musty pee soaked rutting buck smell every so often. Like he's bedded just above me some place and the wind is blowing the smell down to me.

 

Glad I brought the heater vest. Turned it on for the last 45 min.

 

Just saw a shooter buck chasing doe. Closest he got was 100 yards. Chased her back away from me - from where they came from.

 

I swear almost every hunt this year i have forgotten something. The first morning hunt it was my BOW!! So it Has gotten better than that since then but its always something. Whether my binos/rangefinder, or my kneepads (saddle hunting), or my wind checker/ milkweed. Always something this year. Effing scatterbrained. Idk whats wrong with me

 

Just got settled in for the afternoon shift.
Good Luck, everyone!!

Anyway im out (no kneepads) and i made more noise getting back here than anyone should in a whole season. Had to make so much noise to set up. I kept telling myself to abort mission especially after bumping doe and big buck on way in. Pretty sure every deer in 2 mile radius knows im here. So…. No preperation, bad judgement, zero confidence, horrible odds. You know what that is??? Exactly. Recipe to Slay a Giant!!!

 

I missed it…. Happened to me this year too. So youre not alone Chief…..Sucks

 

I forgot...sucky day then. Sorry LC.


Little buck searching around.

 

Y'all thought I was effing around.

A buck dies tomorrow.....
