LIVE from the stand 2020-21

Well i played it too conservative this morning and blew my chance at my target buck. I was trying not to get busted by two does and i heard a deer walking in directly behind me but was too nervous to turn around because It was so still out. Sure enough it was my big 9pt. Hung up ay and 30 yds and eventually walked in to 25 without a thing i could do. I finally was able to grab my bow but he trotted off 10 yds where i couldnt shoot and walked up the hollow to chase does and out of my life ugh. Then i stupidly passed up easily the biggest deer I've let walk this afternoon waiting on the big 9 that didn't show. It was a beautiful 4 or 5 yr old 10pt that bedded down at 40 yds for a half hour. Awesome and sickening day all at the same time.

Been settled in for a while now. Two does browsing in the cut corn a couple hundred yards to the south. Perfect wind, hopefully that big guy can make another appearance. Good luck to anyone that’s out

I swear these damn squirrels sound like big foot

The hundred acre wood seems to have dried up.

I decided I needed a mental break from deer hunting so some buddy's from the station and I went duck hunting in Sandusky bay. Shot a few. Missed a lot [emoji23] Good enough for fours guys with two brand new hunters! Most fun I've had hunting all year!

Y’all shoot and eat mergansers?

 

[brock ratcliff]

Four does so far. My ground attack has worked well. Hoping a big one does the same

 

[Spencie]

Two does, a bb and the “shoot me” 5 point. Every day. Every stand.

So amazing how a tiny chipmunk 🐿 can sound like a 250 pound giant in dry leaves

 

[Justen1221]

Had 2 come in but stayed in the thicket they were does I’ve rattled grunted bleat no bucks

 

[TinyTucky]

Well that was weird. Had a small doe come busting out of a thick wood line and head straight across the field west towards me, running tail down. Stopped at 50 and looked behind her, then the north and then ran straight back to where she came from, stopped at the edge then turned straight south and bolted with her tail up, assuming she went back into the bedding area. Wtf!? Maybe a coyote spooked her? Wind is S currently, so there’s no way she could wind me, unless the milkweed is lying lol.

Yep. Brine em for a day or so, then they'll get cut up and ground into a mix with pork fat for an awesome smoked sausage recipe.

Am I the only one out? Goodluck all!

Am I the only one out? Goodluck all! Can’t wait to watch target buck walk under the other treestand for the 3rd time now

No sir, I’m a big dummy too. If things don’t pick up by tomorrow around 10:00 am I’m packing up and heading to WV for a couple Bow hunts and the rifle opener.

I’m out TOO. No tree stand for me yet due to the knee replacement. I saw 3 does the other night. This Booner 5 panel blind is pretty nice.

 

[Dannmann801]

It's windy. Hoping the wind lays down at last light

 

[Spencie]

I hate hunting out of a box blind with a bow. Only deer so far.

 

[Big H]

Not my preferred way to hunt either but sometimes you have no choice. Last year I killed my buck out of a blind and it was the same scenario. I wasn’t allowed to climb a ladder since I had surgery. I think that I may have killed the biggest buck taken in Ohio last year by a man with a catheter.

 

[Spencie]

OMG! You win! Just the thought of that makes my knees go weak. @Big H

 

[WoodCoDep]

Very weird night. Does like crazy and not a buck in sight?? Tomorrow morning is my last solo hunt till maybe next week so hoping i see something worth shooting. Then taking my oldest out this weekend hopefully.
