Team 18 - Does Be Trippin'

I'm in the stand. I go back to work Wednesday might so my time is dwindling but I have a little left.

 

Just had a spike come in to some bleating

 

Round 2 for today has begun!!!!!

 

Well I didn't get out this morning but I'm trying to salvage part of the evening. I'm in a ground blind trying to ambush this mystery buck. All I know is he was described as the biggest buck they've seen in their life. Lol. I won't complain if he is.

Anybody out this morning?

I am thinking about using a 1/2 day this week and make one more run at a doe before gun season opens.

Sitting here in the cool rain contemplating, what's for dinner? Along comes a rabbit. No I didn't take the shot. Sounds like a good idea about getting that doe.

 

Ouch...pretty early in the day to be thinking about dinner. You need some action soon!

Just heard some crashing through the woods down below. Maybe it's that action I need!!!!!

 

Well guys looks like I'm eating tag soup this year after hunting every day since Wednesday and just got back home today. I saw plenty of does but the bucks never showed up which still has me confused. Normally you would think if you see this amount of does there would be an occasional buck with them to check them out. Guess not I guess. I did have a medium sized 8pt come in on Friday morning but i didnt have the best shot so I let down as I didnt feel comfortable with the shot. Other than that the highlight was watching a nub buck chase around 4 does trying to get some action Saturday morning in the snow.

I'm happy but kind of disappointed. Thought I would have atleast seen more bucks with the amount of does I kept seeing. Its like the rut never happened LOL

 

Where do you hunt? Here in Ohio I have until the first Sunday in February. I've killed bucks in January so for me there is still hope. Kind of had the same thing here. Saw does and fawns and several small bucks but nothing more than that. I've got a couple hunts left before I head back to work Wednesday night, so you never know what might happen.

 

I'm not out of the game just yet! I have plenty of time and property that is close enough to basically walk to. Last week was a huge disappointment with the lack of bucks out cruising. I really think the rut here is going to full swing this week. I'll get in an evening hunt and a couple this weekend. Two good bucks on the radar. Doe will come later.

 

Starting out my new lab pup right!!!!!

 

Even though I've seen nil rutting activity in my area. I'm beginning to wonder if the lock down phase has hit. These last 4 sits I've only seen 1 spike.

 

Anybody getting out soon? I might try to get in a short sit in the morning before work.

 

Morning I saw nothing. I'll be back out this evening. Anything over a 1 1/2 old is in danger tonight!!!!!

 

No sightings tonight either. I did get another new buck on camera. He was at my stand at 5:15 Monday evening. Unfortunately I was on my other property Monday evening. I think he's a 3 1/2 year old who may be a real stud next year. I probably would have shot him though if I was in this stand.

 

4 does again tonight. Camera up in a good spot and hanging a new set tomorrow. I hope this buck cruises through.
