I think I got his.attention. I think he's comin through the honeysuckles now.

I think he's hung up in the honeysuckles just to the SE of me, waiting for darker conditions. The wind is a bitch 2nite, but I'm certain he heard a couple of my grunts cause looked directly in my direction, got up, did a scrape, then a tree rub, turned and into the thick honeysuckles between me anf the South field, headed my direction.

Still no sight of him in the field or in front of me yet. I think he's waiting for dark.

FUGG! No nice! He's in the field standing about '6' from another deer, perhaps a doe, but IDK for sure.

Just had a little deer walk right underneath me. That too I believe was an antlerless.

Great hunt! Got a great look at him for about a whole hour. I'm pumped for tomorrow.

C-ya!

Good day at the lease. Anyone want to hunt with me?

Skunked, windy and on and off sprinkles. Tomorrow’s another day.

Great deer @Spencie @Gern186 and the third one. My apologies. I forgot who it was. The son of a member.

No hunting for me... Developed a cough last night, might have been a post nasal drip thing. Today some occasional aches including a dull headache. Nose ain't 100% but I could smell and taste dinner. Still a drier cough and dull headache though.

My nephew shot an 8 point today, you saw his son, a 2nd grader's 5 point a while back and I got another friend who shot something today also.
The only rack I'll see the next few days is in my bedroom.

Good luck all!

Nice deer boys! Congratulation to you both!

Major sneak/ billy goat in a deep ditch bank and belly crawl to get in my spot. Couldnt get to my phone or eat my oatmeal cream pie with does close all night. Had a gaggle of them come out at dark running all over i couldnt make out what was what. Maybe should have put another in the freezer o well.

Congrats to all on the deer today, some nice bucks!!

I ran. Haven't run since @OhioWhiteTails was here at we seen the albino squirrel a couple of years back. Guessing because my fat ass was out of breath, I missed. Shot under a deer that I've chased for years. Missed him years and years ago. I have one of his sheds. Happy for the clean miss but boy am I pissed at myself right now.

I used the pines in the picture to allow me to cut the distance and cut the hill to the other side. He never spooked. So I'm happy for that also. But man am I ever pissed at myself. Clean miss at 25 yards. I ain't a kid anymore, wtf.

 

[finelyshedded]

Dang Dave! That sucks but you know where he is and maybe he’ll still be around there tomorrow. Get back after him buddy.

 

[Gern186]

Got a pic of him?

 

[Chancegriffis]

Sorry to hear that brother, tomorrow is another day!

 

[Shoot-straight]

He probably didn’t even know what happened. Makes for a better story anyways. Time for sweet redemption.

Deer is old

 

[finelyshedded]

Yes he is! GL with hims Dave!

The ups and downs of ground hunting. I've seen this deer 3 times while hunting and all 3 times he made me hustle to get in to position. This is why I love being mobile and on the ground. I try and "make it happen". More times than not, it works out for me. This time it didn't. Time to stop being a pussy and move on. It is what it is now and the only real thing hurt here is my pride. If I do kill this damn deer, there will be violence involved. Lol. To me this beats the hell out of waiting in a tree. Even got to share the experience with @Quantum673 I'm sure he will let me forget it happened.

But. Did. You. Die?

Sound like a big rush and exciting hunt. Good luck in your next round of battle with him, Giles.
