Deer hunting update.

<< < (23/52) > >>

Ryano:
I screwed up on a doe this morning. It rained all day yesterday and all last night, so the leaves where super quiet. Any ways I decided to try out my bleet call about 8:00 this morning and when I did I heard something behind me spook. lol. There was a doe and fawn comming down then trail right behind my stand about 15 yards and they heard me call  and took off. They did eventual pass by me but just out of shooting range..... :-\ Oh well at least I broke my dry spell. :) I hadnt seen a deer on stand in three or 4 days....

was supposed to go out this afternoon, but the dang water busted, and i spent a while fixing that, by then too late to go where i wanted for fear of spooking them, cause they should have been ion the hay feild already.

cowboy:
GOOD GOD Pappy!! OK your back yard aint as good as mine ;D. Don't ya just hate pictures like that?
  Rest of you guys - sorry your not seeing anything, or getting shots. Same story here, wind has been blowing 20 mph or better and theirs too many acorns. Time will come................

Pappy:
Had  a good after noon ,seen 7 deer all does,I got to the tree at around 3 pm and the wind was out of the n/w at about 20 to 30 and no rain.I figured I could handle the wind so I got set up.Well about 4 the rain came in in waves.After about 30 min. of that I decided to go home.I got out of the stand and was easing along the edge of a cut corn field and up ahead I saw 2 doe feeding along the edge so I backed into the thicket and got set up .It took them about 30 min. to feed close to me,I thought the wind had settled down I guess because I was backed in between some heavy cover.One of the doe was I guess 18/20 yards  broad side so I took the shot.When the arrow hit open air it flew like an arrow dose without a point.Miss by feet,it was wild as a bat.I
missed so far it didn't even spook her.I waited till they feed on and slipped out.When I got to the truck the wind had settled and the rain had almost stopped so I decided to ease over to another stand I had about 45 min. of light left so no sooner than I got in the stand had 2 small doe come
into the food plot,I let them go[maybe another day] and didn't see anything else.Needless to say when I got home Joanie thinks I am crazy and she is probably right I was chilled to the bone,don't know what I will do when it really gets cold.All in all it was a good evening [Now looking back]
Didn't seem that good while it was happening. ;) ;D

Good afternoon hunt I'd say Pappy! I was cleaning up over at my mothers house yesterday across town from where I live. We have 12 acres of mostly field behind her house. Everytime I looked back in the field there were several deer feeding. Maybe I should give it a try before we sell it...took my first deer with a bow back there I think 27 years ago. :)
