LIVE from the stand 2018-19

[hickslawns]

I'm back as of 30min ago. Observation sit as much as anything. Trying to narrow down Bubba's buck. Love to see Cousin Bubba get him in a couple weeks. That said, I won't pass if he presents a shot. Looking SW into standing corn with a thicket on other side of it 100yds away. I suspect Bubba's buck is bedding there. WSW wind tonight.

I’m in the stand as well. Have been here for about an 1.5 hours. No movement yet just a bunch of the normal squirrels running around lol

Got setup a little deeper with a climber tonight, in around 4:30. Feels really good and wind is behaving.

Good luck to all that r out.

Yes, infrequently.

 

[hickslawns]

You're not crazy. I smell them too sometimes. I had bumped two yearlings walking in. One of them mosied back thru. Just under 2hrs to go. I'm ready to punch my buck tag. Who's with me?

I'm with ya. If that damn 3.5 year old 9 point comes through. He's getting a Grim Reaper

Yep. 3 or 4. I don't care at this point. I have work to do. Plus I get pleasure out of helping others get deer. I've found a bit of balance. Used to log ridiculous hours pursuing a deer or two. Now I'm just thankful for that "pretty darn good" deer. I'm not a mid 130s snob. Lol

I made it out a little while ago. 1 slick head went through. Then one blew...so I bailed and changed stands.
Good Luck Everyone!

couple doe a 6 and a 5 that was pretty vocal.

 

[5Cent]

2 does and a nice 8pt seen. Does out of range and buck never gave a shot at 40yrds. Good to see some deer!

 

[Clay Showalter]

Just me and button buddy, then a doe blew when I was headed back in. I gotta get her

 

[BlueSpruceOutfitters]

Well, while I only saw a little forkhorn, one of my good friends, who was only about 400 yards away from me, had his own "mini rut" in the woods. Send me pictures of 6 different bucks, including one who he is going to regret not shooting, chase some does around. Very entertaining. Glad he saw a ton of deer. This cold weather should get the big boys starting to cruise within the next couple weeks. Pumped.

 

[Qback5]

Yes. I often thought so was just having kind games, but I was convinced while scouting for late duck season last year in November. It would have been right around the rut, and on the walk in I swore I smelled tarsal. On walk back, I smelled it again in a different spot, it was a little. Tighter in the morning and sure enough there was an 8 point making his rounds, upwind from me.

Crappy cell phone pic. But, funny to drive by neighbors land to see deer sniffing out the hunters Jeep.

 

[xbowguy]

Got one right at dark....lol
