I had a rare sighting in Colorado yesterday-two whitetails feeding in a field (they estimate about 7000 whitetail deer in a state 104,000 sq miles in size). It made me wonder how everyone is doing. So, how did yesterday go? Did anyone have any exciting action?
My exciting news is that I’m done farming for a while! Can now get a couple days of hunting in before a cruise with the granddaughters. After the cruise, it’s full speed ahead. Got a set of Sevr Ti 1.5 hybrid heads in yesterday. I’m excited about trying them out this morning. My “target” buck is still nocturnal, but coming out later in the morning. They get the corn shelled and I think that will change.
I’m headed out tomorrow AM. High of 79° today. High of 56° tomorrow. Unfortunately just too busy in the evenings so I’ll try a pinch point in the morning.
Supposed to be 45 in the morning. Definitely be sitting the stand! Sevrs are hitting perfect. Got to see what they do.
Anniversary was on saturday. Didn’t have the stones to sit in the gusting wind yesterday. I built an archery target bag stand for the basement instead. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I’m finally gonna be back out in a stand this weekend, and just in time too as the bigger buck are starting to show up more consistently on the cameras.
Rough start to the morning but it all worked out. First time taking a camera man with me this year. Had his stand and lifeline packed. Get to our spot after picking him up at 5:15 and realize I forgot his safety harness in my scent crusher closet. So we find a spot in a fallen down tree and do a natural ground blind. Had 7 does in the area this morning. 2 got in downwind at sunup unfortunately but it was so windy I don’t think they caused much damage. About 8:30 5 does worked their way in and we’re probably 50-60 yards up the hill but slid over the ridge and out of sight. Fun morning
I thought so. Had a nice shooting session last night, followed up by popcorn and modern family reruns with my wife.
Even though the temps are warmer than I’d like to see this time of year, I can’t wait to be in the woods tomorrow. I got a picture of the buck I’m after walking by a stand about 7:15 yesterday morning, and have had a few other buck moving in the daytime! My #1 goal is still to get one of, or both of, my boys a shot at a buck, and this activity has me ready to do some blood trailing. Good luck to everyone else heading out, stay safe and shoot straight!
What’s happening fellas? Any action? I’ve been a little busy this past week which was unfortunate since we had a cold front. May get out Monday.
Up and in. Had 2 does come in super close this morning. Just around the tree about 5 yards. They caught a whiff of ground scent and didn’t step into my shooting lane by the rope scrape. Had a small forky come trotting across the field about the same time to come check them out. Gorgeous 39° morning.
No luck for me this past weekend, it was way to warm for mid October. Only thing that came close enough was a couple button buck. I’ll be heading back up Wednesday night to hunt through the weekend and the temps should be much better!
Well fellas. I may be out for a while. Was in a massive car accident yesterday. Semi hauling coal lost control and I wrecked into that semi. Fractured back, jaw, and broken left fingers and 6 ribs. If you’d see the car you’d know it was a miracle. Hoyt to get surgery on my back and jaw. So far the good news is I can feel my fingers and toes. So I should make a recovery. Hope you all have a good season. I’ll checking. When I can
Dude, very sorry to hear of that. I'm glad you survived. I will pray for you. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
Wow. Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you recover and heal well. I, also, hope you become a very rich man with a brand new truck after all of this settles.
