Skunked on the evening hunt! Not even a deer in the fields

 

I wish I would have good news for you guys, but I don't. Saw 5 small bucks and had a doe and fawn right in front of me at 16 yards. The doe has a slice right across her back. Looks like one of the neighbors hit her a little high. She seems fine and the wound is healing nicely. Man is she spooky though. Had a new guy show up last night. I never saw him before.

Maybe he'll come and visit in the daylight soon.

 

My first day out will be this Monday I am looking forward to it.

 

Well the wife and I leave tonight for a 3 day weekend down at her folks place in S Indiana. I will be in the woods and she will be in the mall.

Looks like its going to be pretty warm again with temps in the mid to upper 80's. I think this weekend I may have the father in law drop me off by my stand on the UTV so I don't sweat as much walking in. I hopfully should at least be bringing home a doe this weekend. Good luck to all you guys. I would love to come back and see somebody put some bone on the ground.

 

Good Luck Joe!!

 

Cody you better call me to come over and help find your deer when you whack one this weekend!!! I'm not far from where you will be unless I make it out to my lease Saturday but I will be at the local farm Sunday either way! Good luck!

 

Sitting in a ground blind I popped up around 4 this afternoon hopefully ill atleast see something tonight! Ill let y'all know how goes after dark.

Alright guys, I was skunked again today. The deer movement has pretty much quit since season opened! I don't know what the deal is?

I just looked at the weather for the weekend, it's gonna thunderstorm Saturday and Sunday and rain Monday but Tuesday is gonna be sunny. I ant wanting to set in my lone wolf during a thunder storm. The ground blind I have is just a little to small to bowhunt out of. I can only draw my bow back in one spot without hitting the blind with my bow and my arm. If it comes down to ill hunt out if it but hopefully I can find a little bigger one!

Alright boys, tomorrow morning will be my first hunt. Hopefully the weather will get them moving a little with the cold front coming through on saturday. I am excited to sit in my blind for the first time, and have been seeing the same bucks regularly at night, so hopefully one will be foolish enough to show up tomorrow morning or evening. I hope to be able to put some points on the board for the team tomorrow.

 

Good luck! Hope you take down a big one!

 

Pretty slow morning so far, one doe and fawn about 10 minutes before shooting time and that has been it. Sitting a for a while longer but will be hittin it hard again tonight.

 

Little look from my shoes on this fine morning

Sure beats the hell out of work if there's deer or not!

 

If it's not blowing like heck and pouring rain, I'll be in the tree stand sat morning. We'll see how it goes.

 

Just saw on the weather some places out by you are going to get 30" of snow. Is that by you?

 

No not here, supposed to get a "winter mix" tomorrow but it's just been a light drizzle today. Sister lives in Wyoming and they got 18 inches last night.

 

It's trying to rain or drizzle here a little bit today too. Not going to let that stop me. Just getting ready to head out. Maybe tonight's the night!!

I'm still waiting to get the text that some Illinois blood has been spilled...

 

I'm in my blind as we speak, plenty early so hopefully some magic happens tonight !

 

Tomorrow will be the first day i get to hunt at moraine hills, but its gonna be thunderstorming all day. I just re-read the regs and you cant use ground blinds you have to be in a tree. I already have my lone wolf on a tree locked up but i'm still debating on whether or not i wanna chance the it since its a hour drive and my truck only gets 8-10 mpg to not be able to hunt all day. If its just rain i wouldnt mind hunting but idk about lighnting and thunder. Would you guys chance it or wait to sunday, monday and tuesday to hunt it.

 

Don't chance it if its storming. Our team needs the points but not that bad. Can you hunt your other land tomorrow? Don't hurt yourself for a deer. Our team needs our captain!!!
