Word on the street goes as follows... Freak Daddy was seen in daylight, this AM, coming out of a gully and crossing a road 1/2 mile from my properties. First time he has been seen since July. Damn good news.
I'm not sure what's going on but this morning was not normal for Nov. 6th. I got in the stand about 6am and waited til 6:30 then did some rattling. I waited 30min, no deer. tried again no luck. For the last 2 years in this stand I've had deer running in as soon as I hang up the antlers. I saw 3 doe about 80yds out but no bucks following. On my way out I kicked up 3 different groups of 4 doe and 1 group of 3 and no bucks following them. This is not normal for this farm during this time of the year. I'm going out all day either monday/tuesday or tuesday/wednesday.
Hunted for the first time in three weeks this evening. No luck but it sure was great to be back out there. Will be heading back out tomorrow evening as well.
Yesterday morning, nothing. Yesterday evening, 2 unknown deer spotted 49 deer on 21 hunts, 24 does, 7 fawns, 9 bucks, 9 unknown, 2 shots, 1 kill
The weather is crapolla out there right now boys. 70 degrees. Packers game will be watched instead of hunting....unless it turns into a blowout.
Went out on a quick hunt today after the Packers suckfest. Spooked 2 does after getting barked out of my blind by a collie. Pathetic day. 51 deer on 22 hunts, 24 does, 7 fawns, 9 bucks, 11 unknown, 2 shots, 1 kill
Went out for the 23rd time today... Had FD Jr. come in after a rattling sequence to 60 yards and hang up. I tried grunting at him and got nothing. He limped off pretty badly. 52 deer on 23 hunts, 24 does, 7 fawns, 10 bucks, 11 unknown, 2 shots, 1 kill
Give US 50 finally saw some Rut Activity this Wednesday. Passed on a couple 120's ish bucks , I know there are bigger out there and hoping these guys make it though the Bull **** Shot gun season. Shot was at 23.5 yards and basically cut the heart from the pipes. Passed through and went 60 yards and piled up. I love shooting from the ground. !!
Well guys, I have been hunting often for a couple weeks now but haven't seen a single shooter buck. The weather has been ridiculously warm for over a week now and it's raining today. The ammount of standing corn around here doesn't seem to be helping much either. I will be hunting as often as I can through the end of Nov though so hopefully I can still connect on a good buck. The last nice buck I killed was on Nov 25th a couple years ago so there is stil time.
congrats on the slickhead Heading out in the am, not overally optimistic rain for 4 days straight - guys hunting today said club is half under water - but keep after em we all still have time have no seen anything bigger than a 4 point in over a month - so frustration is setting in a little - but screw that I am going to kill bullwinkle tomorrow -
Congrats spacman! Keep the doe kills coming guys, 50 points helps in the contest! cfdjay is on his way over right now to hang his stand, he''ll be in town for a couple weeks and well be on a few hunts together. Hopefully one of us can get on a shooter.
Whacked a doe this morning. Saw a buck coming in behind her, he was fergie clause material. So.....the doe took one for the team.
50 more points! Love it! Hung/tweaked a bunch of stands today, then sat the back ridge stand without a deer sighting. 52 deer on 24 hunts, 24 does, 7 fawns, 10 bucks, 11 unknown, 2 shots, 1 kill
50 points! I put a doe down. I need to figure out how to get the pics from my video camera(digital was at home) onto my mac. I'll tell the story later but I passed up a 120's 10pt, I hope I don't regret it. I've got to go to dinner more later.
