Ended up seeing the target buck from that stand tonight, unfortunately he was a tad to far. I won’t be able to hunt this stand i until sometime in November, hopefully he’s dumb by then and slips up.
let’s do that beer J!

Saw over 30 in the fields on my drive back to the hospital this evening! Seen what looked like a dandy buck munching on some greens without a care in the world.

 

[Spencie]

Saw 5. One 3 year old 20” wide 8 bumping does. The same buck I passed opening morning.

 

[Spencie]

Wow!!!! I’m jelly!

Good luck and have fun Mike! Looking forward to your squirrel updates too! Lol

Just can’t wait for @giles nut lickers to harass me.

Say no more!

Opted out of hunting this morning. Figured with rains and high water the deer wouldn't cross the creek by my stand and cell camera on opposite side of creek. The cell cam said that was a poor decision. Mature deer on his feet and crossing the creek between 8-9am. Such is lif and hunting. First world problems the technology of yesterday would not have told me such info. Almost carried decoy in but opted out. I do have 2015 buck tarsal glands thawing in my pocket. I did bring rattling antlers. Whatever happens, I'll have fun swaying in the tree.

Vacation starts tomorrow! Let the arrows fly!!! Good luck to everyone tonight. Family night tonight so no woods for me. Cell cams been busy with bucks and does all damn day long!

Do to the brisk NW winds today, I'm hunting an area for first time this season. Not entirely sure what to expect, but this location has produced in the past, both deer & coyotes.

Doing the same tomorrow, a new area with a
northertly wind for the evening hunt.

Totally busted another trespasser. The MF walked right in front me and didn't notice that I was less than 15 yards away from'em. Same BS as last year at this spot. Told'em never to come back here again if you don't want any problems with the law.

He turned around and left immediately.

A real f'en winner by the looks of him I tell ya...

Anyhow, it's still early yet and I'll make the best of what's been delt to me this evening.

I'm in my old API climber and I'm not wanting to climb down and move at this point.

I did end up seeing one decent size antlerless deer during this evening's hunt, right @6:30, despite the loud interaction with that trespasser an hour earlier. I suspect that the deer was bedded somewhere across the creek within yards of me, just like I knew there would be. I figured all the deer would be long gone immediately after the trespasser left the area.

I'm sure that deer wanted the heck out of dodge much sooner than when it actually did, however not knowing just where I was exactly, or if any other humans were still in the area, that deer did an awfully good job getting by me, but not entirely.

The deer slowly worked its way down to and through the creek bottom, and I admit, I barely heard the thing initially. When I did, the deer was already underneath me @12 yards. I was previously glassing out towards the cut beanfield to the East at the time when I first started to hear some minor leaf crunching right behind me, thinking it was a squirrel cause I had several of them within the immediate area. When I turned to look, the deer caught my movement, which I was surprised to see it was an actual deer. I froze while that deer kept looking up at me, but unsure what I was, and I watched the deer continue work the rest of the way down through the creek bottom and make it around the bend unharmed.

Photo was taken when the deer just got passed me, right @15yrds. while looking up at me.

That was all the deer I saw and even heard this evening. It was beautiful night with crystal clear skies and all the stars were as/are as brilliant as can be. I thoroughly enjoyed my peaceful hike back home.

I'm pretty sure I've never been skunked this many times. Me and savannah went after 2 bucks tonight that have been showing up every couple days in daylight. I figured with the weather passing and them not being in the field last night tonight would be the night but I was wrong. Gonna take a few days off before the weekend before I get burnt out.

 

[finelyshedded]

Sat the last 45 minutes last night after busting ass home and quick shower. Saw 7 total but no antlers. One bb in the bunch that kept getting disciplined by mom for being horny. Lol
Also I finally had a couple bucks show up on camera with some age on them and no milk on their lips. Lol

Didn’t hunt deer yesterday. High winds from the north and I opted to chase ducks instead.

This morning we’ve got another north wind, perfect for slipping into the downwind side of a prime bedding area. I snuck in here about an hour ago and climbed a virgin tree… a little Oak, maybe 8” dbh. I’m up here about 12-14 ft off the ground with an awesome vantage point. It feels like I’m in the right spot today. Got some coffee and some protein in my pack.. I’m in for a long sit. Fingers crossed that a bruiser comes in here to J-hook his bed from the downwind side. If he does, he’s in trouble.

 

[Chancegriffis]

Actually just woke up from a slight nap. I’ve been in since 550. Hung a new set about thirty yards off the corn pile that oak frequents. Have a 45/50 yard lane and a shot right over the 15 yard mark after he leaves the pile or comes to it…. not the best but if he does what he has for the past three days, he will die. Good luck to all.
