I missed my number 1 buck tonight, man I miss judged and used wrong pin and shot right over his back. been a long time since i did that! will get back after it again tomorrow!
Ended up being a decent weekend in the stand after all. Saturday was not very good because of that ATV race the next property over IXCR - 2014 RD9 Event Info But it did give me a chance to scout Saturday afternoon and I found some promising locations to stick a climber or blind in Nov. Sunday morning was just a great hunt. It was 45 degrees calm as can be and the deer were just pooring into our large 1 acre forage oats plot. I ended up seeing 10 deer and finally laid eyes on a buck for the first time this year. Granted it was a small basket rack 8 its still a start! Then as I was running some trail cameras I found 8 different scapes scattered around all 3 of my food plots so that got me all fired up as well LOL. Also got a new 10 showing up on camera
Looks like the season is shaping up nice for everyone! I went out Sunday but with 25 mph winds it was pretty tough. Going to let the woods sit until the last weekend in Oct. And I actually took off November 7th-14th off so hoping to get it done. Lots of little bucks starting to harass does and lots of scrapes popping up. Was only able to pull 3 cams but have some new bucks showing up.

What in the heck is fall break? How long does that last? I have been out of school for 12 years and don't remember getting a "Fall Break". You kids today I tell ya! LOL
Is fall break when you fall and pretend to break your foot so you can go hunting? lol we didn't get fall break either!
Close to having my bigest deer on cam killed gust 50 yards to far Sent from my SCH-I435L using Tapatalk
DANG! well maybe you will have a crack at him again. Its always tough on the nerves when a big buck comes in and stays just out of range.
Well I was not able to get out this weekend due to the fact I was in a wedding and it took up most of the weekend but thats not a bad thing it was nice to just relax with freinds. Did anybody get out this weekend?
Ya seen my #1 hit listers but to far for a shot and a bunch of doe Sent from my SCH-I435L using Tapatalk
So at the last min I decided to go hunting, just got into the stand. It's a little warm at 77f but should drop to low 60s at sunset and I know there is a bedding site withing 100 yards for some does so with some luck I might get a chance. I will also be bk 2moz am where temps will be mid 40s so should be a good hunt.
Well the deer did there part, I didn't do mine. 4 does came in at 7 eating away got ready pulled bk and 1 spotted me and put them all on alert. I put my 30yd pin on 1 and let it fly. They all run off and when I get down its a clear miss plenty of time left to make up for it.
you got that right! almost got it done tonight! maybe tomorrow, morning hunt was pretty slow, passed on a up and comer 2.5 yr old. will keep you guys posted as I hunt more
The bucks are starting to hit the ground. Team 2 put a nice buck down last night. I am gonna try to get out today or tomorrow for my first IL hunt and then again this weekend.
