    Chago. I have a covert Blackhawk. It’s cool, but can be frustrating when you can’t be out and the deer are there. It costs me $14.99 per month to have the service. There are several options though. Mine is basic

    Finally back out on the neighbor's property. I forgot how hard it is to use my climber or I'm just getting old. Plan to hang a couple stands Saturday to make hunting a little easier next week during vacation. [​IMG]

    All weekend not one deer! Found out that the one big timber to my north they pushed during second gun season to fill tags. That might explain the dead doe by my stand. I am not fond of pushing but I know some do it. I personally think it is un ethical to do that. I will be back out again next weekend doing it again. NEVER GIVE UP!

    Most of the greenery is honeysuckle. When all the acorns are gone deer hammer this little spot.

    Hey guys, patiently waiting for the day after Christmas here in PA. Rifle season was not nice to the deer around my lease, lot of bucks hit the ground. So I'll be back in the stand with my bow trying to get a late season doe... For the first time ever! Good luck to everyone still grinding!!

    I know that feeling. I didn't see anything but 200 Squirrels and about 10 road hunters. Wonder what they'd score? lol

    looked out the back window last night and had a whopper 8 point in the backyard... prob 20" spread.
    Checked the cam just now and there him, the other 8 above, what looks to be a basket 7 or 8, and a spike all over the past couple of nights in the snow!
    I'll give the spike a pass... any of the others get it! My wife can shoot one too! Hopefully I can cut them off coming off the mountain during shooting light.

    Saw 1 tonight. Think it was a doe. If it wasn’t it was the little spike I have on cam. No doe tag for that zone

    Gonna get after it tomorrow am and afternoon as long as I can contain this cough. Hoping to get out most afternoons next week after the buck(s) behind the house... hopefully one slips up... will most likely be last light.

    Got two stands hung before work. My oldest granddaughter has a band concert tomorrow so not sure I get out or not. Hunting all week. May have to pour some corn on the ground to get one.
