Deer hunting update.

<< < (13/52) > >>

Hillbilly:
Finally cooling down here too. Supposed to frost tonight. This week is muzzleloader season here, no bowhunting, so I'm gonna take the smokepole out tomorrow morning. Not many deer here, and a disease has been going through them this summer killing a lot of the herd, not too optimistic about this season.

GregB:
Congrats Mark! ;)

Took off from work today and went hunting! This morning I carried my climbing stand into an area of woods that I've been wanting to check out. Spooked some deer going in prior to finding a tree to climb. I saw several turkeys after daylight and one deer running 80-100 yards away. Found out later that Keith had taken a shot at it. We scouted during the middle of the day looking for acorns and found very few. One tree had some fresh feeding sign under it, but not a lot of acorns on the ground. I'll probably hunt it in the morning as it was the best sign I saw.

This afternoon I decided to hunt the foodplot behind my house. About 30 minutes before dark, a really nice 8-pt came walking and feeding down the roadway leading into the plot. He got to where my trail I cut from my back yard to my stand crosses the roadway, and he turned and headed up the trail toward my backyard. I didn't expect that! He got within 25 yards or so of my back yard, and turned around and came back down to the roadway. He continued walking in the original direction he had been traveling, and never dropped down into the plot where I could get a shot at him. He got within 20 yards at the closest point, but was behind me with branches between us, and I wasn't going to chance a poor shot at him. I enjoyed watching him, and plan to reposition my stand. He never knew I was there, so maybe there will be another time... :)

Timing is eveything!! :(

  Had made a hook that would hold my bow on my lap so I didn't have to have a hand on it all the time.   Figured it needed a little adjustment... don't get ahead of me now!! ;D

  The 2 minutes I messed with it, a nice 1 1/2 year old buck had gotten to within 15 yards and was watching me make my new invention perfect. 

  Oh well it will be ready for the next one!! 8)

Ryano:
Nothing going on here this morning... :-\
I'm going to head back out to a different stand this afternoon. :)
