From the stand
PEARL DRUMS:
--- Quote from: Pappy on October 24, 2016, 11:16:14 am ---I do some but try and leave as much cover as I can around the stand and under it. Sometimes it cost me a close shot but most times if you have patients it works out ok for the shot and I rarely get spotted in the stand unless I do something really stupid. ;)

Same here pappy. When a person carries a bow that requires them to draw and shoot simultaneously they have to have cover around the stand most often. We cant draw and hold while we wait for a good shot.

When I got to my stand this morning I noticed a big scrape on the trail 10 yards away.
bjrogg:
That should be a good sign.

Great morning yesterday, no deer killed but beautiful morning and seen deer. Nothing was moving until after 9 am then they came out of the wood work. Got in the stand at 6am and came down about noon. Was planning on staying all day but had a buddy needed help tracking on so I had to come out. Wished I would go on and retire so I could do that all the time. A couple of pictures, 1 of a button under the stand and the other is a small buck working on some overhanging beech limb and doing some rubbing, he thought he was bad to the bone you could tell. :)

You have a lot more green leaf cover than we do Pappy. Our leaves are dying and dropping fast. Yesterday morning I didn't see much but last night I saw a lot of activity. A small buck chased a doe right behind my stand. Several other small bucks and does were running around the hillside. I watched 2 different flocks of turkeys. One was a group of jakes. They walked up the hill behind me and then flew down to get on roost. This morning should be good.
