    I got tired of relaxing so I geared up, went across the road and moved my climber to a tree that might work if the wind doesn’t shift.

    Im all set up.

    I haven’t gotten any deer pics in the afternoon/evening over here but you never know, and my gear will be in the tree already for the morning sit.

    I really wish this guy would show up but he’s moving through early in the morning.

    Still, it is possible.

    One thing has me puzzled, and that is the fact that I haven’t even seen a doe from the stand so far this year.

    I had some on camera earlier in the season, but nothing lately.

    Question for anyone who might know:

    The morning of the 23rd s big bobcat walked in front of my camera. Since then I haven’t gotten a single deer pic.

    Does bobcat scent scare mature deer?

    I always have to remind myself that just because I don’t have pics doesn’t mean they aren’t moving through here. There is no defined trail on this area of the finger off the ridge.

    I don't have any bobcats where I hunt but I would think that it wouldn't bother them anymore than a coyote would. I've had pics of yotes and five minutes later a deer would walk the same path. I mean they all live out there so I guess the deer would know how to avoid most of the predators. I dunno

    Global warming.

    I'll trade you ~half a foot of rain for that weather though...

    Not many bobcats in SW Pa by me, in SE Ohio there are a bunch and they are protected. Can’t say I ever saw them keep deer away tho.

    Saw 3 doe on top of those other two buck, had a fun sit!

    Needless to say I didn’t see a thing.

    Took me a while to post. Two of my kids called me the last hour of daylight and I didn’t answer, of course, but I had to call them back when I got down.

    Hopefully something moves there in the morning

    Got set up and dropped my release so I had to climb down to get it.
