Which PA guy is your money on to pull the rabbit (pun intended) out of the hat? My money's on MGH and "Cat Nip", my deflowered decoy. Things are gonna click one of these nights. Eglum_06 is a sleeper too. I'd love to see Bry slam a monster, break the curse of 2010.
Surely won't be me, this has been the worst Nov. for deer movement that I can ever remember, I am set up overlooking a clearing between a buck bedding area and a doe bedding area, and I would say I have roughly a 5% chance of seeing a deer based on my previous hunts as well as game cam photos.
I don't like my chances. Can't hunt with Cat Nip today. Uncle is cutting wood near that bedding area and inside corner...the hunt for new ground begins shortly.
idk about you guys but im really struggling to get on deer in PA this year .. right when i think rut might be kicking in it dies for a week. still have high hopes for the last three days.. gotta finish strong boys
Had a few small guys under the stand today. Had a decent buck hug the thicket at about 45 yards, but nothing I'd shoot. I'm fnding most of the movement I'm seeing at 2-3 pm
I've been offered new land to hunt by a family member only the 2 nd day here deer everywhere wish I had more time maybe I'll get luck in the last 2 days
Well I had two doe come in yesterday and heard another deer coming behind me....at that point both doe went on alert and finally ran back the way they came. A few minutes later I caught movement and saw a coyote working its way in...light was just about gone when the yote stepped into my shooting lane and I drew back, I could hardly make out my pins but I aimed and shot just to see my arrow fly an inch over its back. Heading out in a little bit, hope the wind calms down a bit.
well I saw a shooter on thurs at 3:00 at 60 yards (that's how it goes) saw a small 4 pointer today at 10:00 he bedded 100 yards from me. And I had a good buck head dead at my tree from behind when at 40 yards he turned and went out to the edge of a field and then crossed it and into some high grass. Waited for him to reappear and never did. That's all the excitement I've had the last 2 hunts. Tomorrow is do or die....Atleast they are moving.
Tonight was crazy, it finally broke here and bucks were everywhere...I jumped one heading in and saw another 6 or 7 from stand....no shooters but it has my hopes up for tomorrow.
Changed my mind about the stand I was going to sit in this morning at the last second and it cost me a great 8. All I could is watch him chase a group of doe around 60yds away for a while. He wouldn't respond to any calls whatsoever. He passed my climber I hung at 10yds a few times during his circle chasing.
That's always my luck Matt. Some of the biggest bucks I've ever watched was right under my treestand.... as I sat in another treestand 200 yards away.
Naaaa... I heard he was getting his crown refitted this weekend. Darn thing keeps shrinking I guess . :p Tim
Saw 3 bucks this morning, nothing big....I am in my best stand for this time of the year so I am hoping something comes past.
Well guys that voted for me thank you, but I couldn't connect this year. I sat today from sun up to sun down and saw only 4 deer 2 walked right under the stand at 10 minutes before last light a fawn and a small 4 point. Had two does come in at last light. That was it all day. Squirrels and chipmunks weren't even moving around. This was one of the strangest archery seasons I can remember. Stands come down tomorrow.
No luck for me either, around 5:00 I had a small 7 point come down the ridge past ne at 25 yards, I must have passed this buck a dozen times thus year. Hopefully he makes it another two years and I meet up with him again. I will go out with the rifle a few times but I have a great late archery spot so I am pumped for that.
