I'm in the woods as we speak. Beautiful day! Hoping for some action

 

Any luck.

 

Well today I took my 17 year old neighbor hunting and I put him in my stand. While walking out the woods(heading to his stand) I hear the sound of a bow go off. Next thing I know, there is a doe running right at me with an arrow hanging out both sides. She cut left Into the trees. Don't think we gave her enough time to expire so we backed out and hit it again this morning. 15 yards from where we stopped looking last night, she laid. Found her this morning. Was the kids first deer!!!!!

 

That is great

 

Well Guys my first sit I didn't see any deer. This is a new area to me which is a little exciting. I did hear lots of partridge and saw a little porcupine. Excluding the fact I didn't see a deer it was a fairly good sit. I'm going to check my camera today at my other stand which is a half hour away. The one I sat in last night is only 5 minutes (which is why I sat in it due to the lack of time.) Great job on the Does by the way! Glad to see we're coming along nicely!

 

Slow weekend for me..... hoping to get a sit in mid week. Good luck boys

 

Well I checked my camera and I got 200 photos of does. Seems like the same 3 kept coming through. Gotta stick with it though. The bucks will soon be in my area. Good luck whoever is going this week!

 

Heading out now..........

 

I went out on this past Sunday and didn't see anything. I killed a fox. I went out last week and had 3 young does come in right at dark. I heard other deer about 75 yards behind me, but they never came in. It was cool that day in the 60s and I had a good wind and I knew they would move early. We need some cool temps and it will get right. last year I didn't have an encounter until October. I also had a shot at many of the bucks that are now on my Hitlist. If this year plays out like last, I will kill all 3.

 

Indiana is a one buck state. We're limited to one buck per year, total, no matter what season. I can hunt bow, firearms and muzzle loader season, but can only take one deer the whole year. The thing that sucks is that I'm the only person that hunts on the land. There are a couple bucks that I'd like to eliminate from the gene pool, but there are also two nice wall-hangers. Each year I have to decide if I want to take a wall-hanger, or if I want to eliminate a pathetic buck. Really wish I could take one of each this year. My fiancee says she wants to hunt this year after we get married and she becomes a resident of IN, but she doesn't want the pathetic single spike to be her first deer. LOL I told her I've been hunting the big boy for two years now and I'll be damned if she's going to come in and take him!

 

Scored on another doe sunday night. This was the second bow hunt my son was on. Shot her at 7 yards. best hunt i ever been on. He is hooked for life.

 

Congrats on the doe. That's great taking your son out he looks so pumped in the pic I love it.

 

Just do what makes you happy, you never know what that spike can grow into unless you pass him and let em grow.

 

I haven't seen a deer yet. Frustrated!

 

Gettin antsy here, not sure if I'm gonna hit the stand tonight or just check cams on the new farm. Have to see what the weather looks like I suppose.

 

Congrats on the doe. I am going out again on Sunday. Been slammed with work this week.

 

I baited and checked the cam again today and I still have only does. However I'm happy to see that they come in the daylight till about 10 in the morning and are around bout 6 to 7 at night. I will be hitting this stand on Monday morning I'm thinking. Hope to thwack a doe!

 

Good luck!! 4 days and a wakeup till my season opens on tuesday!

 

Same here!

 

Heading out this afternoon. Doe are coming in right at dark. If given a shot, I am going to stick one.
