Well I'm out in the stand for the evening!!! Probably won't hunt tomorrow calling for winds of 35-45 with gusts over 55!!! Siting a new set I hung a couple days ago hoping it pays off!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Atta boy, Bear!! Congrats! Finally got mine scored and entered for us, guys. Now with Bear on the board as well, we will be in good shape.
The rain stopped late last night so I decided with more rain forecasted for Thursday that this morning would be a good time to be in the stand. I stepped into my favorite lock on about 5:30 and got settled in. This stand sits along a ridge that's behind a cut bean field. About ten minutes before daylight I had 2 doe come in under me and stay for about 5 min. Just as they left and it began to get to where I could see, I went ahead and stood up. I knew that with everything being wet that I may not have much of heads up that a deer was close. I was standing for about ten minutes when I hear the ol crunch crunch crunch. I looked down to see a tall rack 8 point at 5 yards and walking away. I quickly turned and grabbed my bow and spun back around, at this point he has made it to about 20 yards and still at a steady walk. I drew my bow and quickly gave him a mouth bleet to get him to stop. I settled the pin and let it fly! The arrow hit its mark and I watched my lighted nock take off with the buck. He ran about 40 yards and took a dive. I could see my nock sitting there glowing. I pulled out the binos to see he was laying with the arrow still in him. The rage hypodermic did its job taking out at least one lung and the heart.
Well up and getting dressed to head out to the tree stand! Hoping the deer are on their feet after all the wind we got yesterday!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good luck today. I'll be washing all my clothes and gear. Seems every time I shoot something my scent control regiment goes out the window and it all needs done again. I'll be out Friday afternoon and Saturday morning on doe patrol.
Trying the same spot that I had luck with this morning!!! Still warm for this time of year at 63 but can't kill a deer sitting on the couch!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Setup and strapped in!!! Perfect wind for this stand but it's blowing like a sob!!! Haven't been seeing any mature bucks on cam lately but I did noticed a few scrapes that just got worked over this morning! I'm out here to shoot a doe or a buck just as long as I get to finally let an arrow fly this year!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well I got my buck scored and entered for the contest. It ended up right at 120. Good luck to those still looking for a buck. I've got three does to shoot now.
Hoping I can but one down durning thanksgiving weekend!!! Finally going to be cold here and I'm thinking the bigger bucks are going to be cruising for any left over does!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
