Going kinda the same thing right now . I lost my permission to hunt since the landowners grandkids are old enough to hunt there now and only have like a 2 acre spot to hunt that is wooded the rest is open grass fields and haven't really got any pics of deer even with running a feeder and minerals

Dang man, sorry to hear about that. That will really put a damper on your motivation real fast. But with colder weather hopefully things will pick up for you.

Good stuff, Jesse!

Anyone else just ever not have the motivation to go out? I feel like I’m stuck in a rut mentally with hunting and really don’t have the motivation to go out. I mean I do work 6 days a week and have 3 classes 8-12 Monday- Thursday and 3 online classes but still I am usually pumped for season and this year I don’t have a real desire to go out like I did previous years. I’m going to try and go out for the first sit of the year tomorrow night if the wind is right though.

The thread “what did you do for the deer today” was all about me looking for motivation. I was in a hell of a rough patch.

Side thought from that...I’ve killed deer the last 3 times I’ve gone out. WTF, how’s that for a comeback?! My last two sits last year yielded back to back kills, and I’ve gone out once this year and put a tag in use...talking about being spoiled.

You must have a decent place to hunt

I can't wait to take my daughter out this year too. Nice makeup job dad![emoji41]

Good stuff Jesse. Those are some of the best hunts.

I think I am going to take my 7 year old out but he won't be caring a weapon

I started Braydon out when he was 5. Bought him a suction-dart crossbow to practice with. Told him when he shoots bullseyes I'd buy him a real Xbow. Two weeks later it cost me some money. :smiley_coolpeace:

He wants a compound bow but he I would guess is on the weaker side we went to Wal-Mart and got one off the shelf and it was 15 pounds and he couldn't get it all the way back and to be honest I am not sure how to teach him to shoot it he shot a bow at a cub scouts meeting and has wanted one since

Lots of squirrels, chipmunks and coons at the end... The squirrels kept going spastic and it’d last for about 20 minutes at a time... happened about 4times find see or hear anything moving thru but who knows my buddy the coyote might still be around...
That’s all the hunting for me for the remainder of the week, won’t be out until next week.... When it’s cooler....

That’s awesome man! That will definitely help with the motivation to get back out!

Good stuff Jesse!

Sorry to hear 00buck.

Lots of noise with all the water falling off the leaves and leaves and acorns falling.

Ok gents gotta 6 year old son turns 7 at the end of the month he really wants a compound bow and I was thinking around Christmas would you start him off with a compound bow or cross bow I would like something that will grow with him what do you all recommend oh I just bought him one of the cheap walmart bows his boy scout leader recommended it is 13 pound draw and it is kinda tough for him to draw sometimes until he gets it back to where it "breaks"

I bought my 9 year old daughter and Mission Craze, ready to shoot, used for around $150. They are very adjustable and something to grow into.

Ended up seeing some does, can’t wait to back in a week and a half

 

[rsmith]

Pouring rain, but got a E wind and haven’t been out all year and finally have a night to go out. Heading out in about 20 minutes to the blind just looking to get away for a couple hours.

 

[rsmith]

Just got settled in.
