Sgt Fury’s 2021 NJ and Ohio seasons

[brock ratcliff]

Same here. I’ve not been hunting but my cams are still out and they aren’t seeing much. I hunted most everyday last year during gun season and could hardly find a deer. The last Sunday afternoon, the came out of the woodwork. I predict something similar this year.

Slow in SE Ohio as well

 

[Sgt Fury]

Just saw the half rack…first daylight sighting and he was very skittish. Maybe the windy conditions got em up on their feet?

 

[Big_Holla]

Probably that and the rain that went through, the changing wind directions coming up will get them on their feet.

Pretty slow here too and I sat in my best 2 spots. Don't give up!!! Corn is king for late season.

Saw a half rack yesterday morning and an Sam all 8 in the afternoon that I passed on during archery season. Came home late last night. Unpacked and tomorrow will get my stands ready in NJ. Got 5 cams to swap the sd cards in to see what’s been around…I baited the stands pretty heavy before heading out to Ohio.

Hopefully things go better for you there George! Ohio sucks for deer hunting

 

[brock ratcliff]

Bummer on the updates. Good luck in Jersey. I hear that is where all the big bucks are killed.

This mornings view…saw 5 does and a small basket rack. Very warm and windy.

Tonight’s view…from the blind behind my house. With 30-40 mph winds I decided to sit in the blind. May sit here again in the morning then back over to the swamp for a night stand. Have good bucks at each stand….3 good ones at this stand. Hoping for a certain 9 pointer to show up.

 

[Wildlife]

Beautiful backyard so to speak, George! Wishing you the best of luck mister!!

Got this 9 pointer this afternoon at 4:30. He was with 14 does and when I shot him, he ran about 80 yards, stopped, then leaped straight into the air, hit the ground, regained his feet and leaped straight into the air again, then down for the count. I’ve never seen that before and I’ve got to admit his antics did put a grin on my face….I was thinking “damn, this MFer is trippin”. I’m surprised he ran 80 yards as the slug took off the top of his heart and hit both lungs. When I dressed him, I could feel where the bone fragments were on the inside of the shoulder and felt like sandpaper on the back of my hand. Deer are tough!

These are my three remaining targets for this season…still have a buck tag for shotgun, one for black powder and one for winter bow. Doubt I’ll fill all three but it’s always fun trying.

6 does so far this morning….waiting on a 9 pointer that the camera shows that he usually appears around 9:00am…about once a week…maybe today will be the day.
