View from the stand 2017
« on: October 01, 2017, 10:27:06 am »
I thought I would start a post for  all of us to post pictures from our stands/blinds this hunting season.

Today was our opening day of bow  season.  I went to a stand close to the house.  It's a pinch point between my house and my sisters house/goat pen.  I saw 9 does and fawns in the first hour but never got a shot.  My stand set up is not good. I'm on the downhill side of the road crossing.  I'm looking the deer eye to eye level at 20 yards. Not good!  I need to move to the other side of the road and get above them.   It was nice to sit in the woods and relax.  Maybe I'll have better luck tonight. 



I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Pat, that was from a hang on stand 15' up a hackberry tree.  I didn't make any ground blinds this year.

This evening I went to a stand that's below a small pond in a valley.  It's been very dry lately.  I thought I might catch one going for a drink.

I didn't get as much time as I'd have liked but did still have a good hunt. I had a benefit breakfast first thing in the morning so couldn't get out early. About 11:00 I sat in one of my new tree stands. There's a lot of stuff meeting up at this spot. Several trails from woods behind and goldenrods to the left all meet up with the turn in corner of lane. I could only sit till 2:30, then I had to attend a wake services for a elderly friend. Did get to see some turkeys though. They got about 20 yards from me but I didn't get pictures till they were a little further away.

Awesome pictures guy's!
Im still hoping it cools down some here.  I took a shot at a nice little buck the other day but he ducked my arrow.  My shot was a little high but you would have thought I was shooting at something 40 yards away instead of less than 20.

I got back out about 4:30. It was supposed to be light wind from south east. It was blowing harder then I cared for to sit in a tree. I was thinking like Clint and sat by my stump blind by my small pond. Nobody cooperated though. A doe came from downwind just before sunset. She was almost there just another ten yards when she caught my swirling scent. She wasn't sure so she circled a little more downwind until, yup tail up and away she went. All in all a busy but good day.

One more picture. If you look close through the trees, maybe you can see Lake Huron. It's a much bigger pond then the one I'm sitting by.

Thanks Clint same to you. Patrick that's one of the reasons I only take the super close shots. That and I can't make the long ones even if they don't jump the string on me.

Thanks fellas,  it was one of those things.  Probably shouldn't have shot but the range was a Chip shoot for me.  The buck was a little on the skiddish side but he didn't bust me. I think it was his sixth sense kicking in. 
Oh well,  live and learn I guess. He didn't spook bad and I got a pic of him the next day.
