LIVE! From the Stand 2023-2024 Edition

[triple_duece]

Well now we have ourselves a situation. Shot one just after my last update. Definite hit at 30 yds. He stood there for 5 minutes before walking 20 yards and bedding down. I’m think guts or liver. I’ve got eyes on him and I don’t think I can get out of this stand without him taking off and that’s the last thing I want. I’m pinned down, fugg me

Shootem again! Sounds like a gut shot, did he haunch up after the shot and slowly walk off?

 

[Isaacorps]

He is obviously hurt bad. I would hold tight as long as you can. Alot of daylight left today. How far is he?

50 yds. That’s the second time he’s stood up but not left his bed

 

[Isaacorps]

Shootem again!

Too much shit between me and him

 

[triple_duece]

Can you put the sneak on him for another shot?

 

[Jamie]

if he is liver shot, he will die within a few hours. stay put until dark if you have to. if it is pure guts, you will have to do your best to sneak out of there if he isn't dead by dark. or attempt a stalk and finish him off.

 

[Isaacorps]

Can you put the sneak on him for another shot?

Doubt it

 

[Isaacorps]

I think he’s about done for. Head down, ears relaxed. Hasn’t moved at all for 15 minutes. Just wish I could see his eyes

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

Got anything you could throw in the leaves to see if he moves his ears at all? Throw it away from your stand site, obviously.

Then slide out easy. Grab lunch. Drink a beer. Put your gutting and dragging clothes on and wait until closer to dark. (Or continue to sit and observe is a great option too if your stomach allows.)

Facing away? Lots of stuff between you two? Wind in your favor? IF you wanted to slide out, this might be the best time. How stealthy are you?

Sit tight for a while longer. Than if he hasn’t moved, ear twitched, slowly go after him with an arrow knocked.

 

[Isaacorps]

He just pulled his head up, still looking away from me. He’s roughly where I circled, 50 yds from me. Facing away, wind from him to me. Stiff breeze. I don’t think he could see me on the ground

 

[Gern186]

If its as windy there as it is here I wouldn't be afraid at all to sneak up on him. But definitely give him more time and watch him close. No need to give him a sudden adrenaline rush to run off and not be found. Good luck!

 

[5Cent]

Yep, go get his ass. Knife in mouth, jump on his back sea bass!

 

[Chancegriffis]

Definitely put a stock on him. Get him dead buddy! Good luck!

Just my opinion but he doesn’t know you are there and he’s hurt pretty good if he bedded that quick and isn’t moving. I’d try to wait him out or sneak out of there. Give him time to pass. It’s a high risk situation to try and sneak up for a shot and you might lose him for good. It’s windy but the leaves are pretty crunchy where I’m hunting.

That’s the plan, I’ve got nothing to lose but him. It’s windy and crunchy here. He’s only lifted his head once in the last 30 minutes. It’s so low in the brush now I keep losing sight of his antlers. Time is on my side. I think i can safely sneak out if I decide to

 

[Redneckfucker]

Well had my second sit of the season and got skunked and blew at but I enjoyed the peace of the woods and relaxation. Had a group of 9 turkeys in at 20yrds all strutting around which was cool

Decided after my morning hunt that I would go buy a blind and cruise down to another property that I can hunt and get it set up for my boy tomorrow in hopes of getting him his first deer ever.

Been some good activity going on there and not much foot traffic so hoping it works out in our favor. Also found a shed that’s a pretty good one and pretty sure he is still around as the camera say

Hopefully report tomorrow with a boy smiling holding something with antlers or just a good ole doe!!!

 

[MoonLab]

The sandwich I didn’t pack

Not even the Christmas tree? Come on, man

 

[Shoot-straight]

Made it back out. Had to run in and do some work. Great action this morning so I elected for the same stand. It’s warmed up quite a bit so we’ll see what happens. Good luck everyone.

 

[5Cent]

Kicked up a doe on way in. 2 bald eagles putting on a flight a& vocal demo over the pond. Beautiful evening out, good luck all!
