Well...tomorrow is the big day here in Ohio! I've got everything ready to rock. My hunting partner did some glassing this afternoon and saw at least one shooter 50 yards from one of our blinds at the edge of a bean field. Plus we had a new shooter (10) point show up on cam 2 nights ago. Here we go 2014!
Good luck this weekend guys! I'll be working, so I guess next weekend for the Illinois season will be my next attempt. Widerack, congrats on first score for the team. I'm digging the "selfie" pics
Long week and a half since I last posted. Work is consuming all my time darn it. I am busting my rear end to finish all these work projects so I can start spending some time in the woods. Grats to those who have tagged and good luck to everyone. Dave
Saw one small six point yesterday about 6:15. Pulled card by that stand on the way in and had a giant 10 there the previous morning at 7:30am. Tried that stand this morning and saw nothing. Trying a different stand tonight.
Well, I am ready to go and I have acquired two spots. Not sure how I will do but so far the trail cam has been getting a bunch of does and fawns. Here is one of the video clips! http://vid634.photobucket.com/albums/uu65/dawg007/Shared Videos Pictures/MVIV0058_zps6455fcfc.mp4
Saw 9 this morning and only had two yearlings close enough to shoot. One momma doe was almost in my shooting lane at 35 yards and then winded me. Off she ran with the other mature does and yearlings.
Tonight a Momma Doe got lucky. She had a fawn with spots still so I let her walk. She better not come back when the fawn has no spots. LOL
I would have done the same thing. There's plenty of time to shoot does. I'm seeing tons of scrapes now. Even seeing small bucks chasing does. Seems like the rut is early this year. Is anybody else experiencing the same thing?
I have not seen a buck not buck sign. My trail cameras "4 of them" have yet to get a buck. I just got another new spot tonight and a new 2nd job helping a farmer. This spot is not far from my honey hole that I lost. This spot will have a lot of bucks.
Great temps this weekend, but high winds, which really sucks. I'll be at it the next 3 days, good luck out there boyz!
