LIVE from the stand 2020-21

["J"]

First sit of the season, back in Ohio and saw 7 total. 5 little yearling doe and 2 small bucks searching. 1 was a fork horn the other a small basket racked 6 point. One of the little does bedded down wind of me about 40 yards out. Texted my buddy too walk the tree line down @1100 too shoe her away
Worked like a charm, she stood up and walked away when he was 100 yards away... He never saw her and she never blew...
Broke for lunch, heading back out @1.
Good luck fellas!!!!

Got a whistle pig at 60.... if i had a field point....

Almost carried one because i could have shiskabob'd two squirrels with one shot the other day

So, I got to my climber & tree all steathy and shit, up into climber super quiet and about 10' off the ground when I see an adult doe looking my direction, standing there perfectly broadside @35yrds. to the East, at the bottom of the ridge trying to figure out what the heck is on top of that ridge on the other side of that honeysuckle shrub moving slowly.

(She's in the middle of my best shooting lane.)

She then heads to the top of the ridge, to the SE @25yrds., never looking back in my direction, but I knew she was going to circle me to try to wind me.

Sure enough, she goes back down to the bottom of the ridge on the South side, turns NW @30yrds., sniffing around a little bit.

I captured it on video and you'll get to see that she never winded me as she continued heading slowly to the NW, back on top of the ridge, to the NW, then heads into the wild overgrown open field, where many of deer bed during the day, which is like 70 yards right behind my barn, near the main creek.

I figured she was going to complete the circle, back to the North, but she never made it.

So, there you go, it's now proven that you can still climb into your tree within a climber, with deer in the area, within bow range, somewhat undetected, and not spoil your area.

I'm now settled in for the rest of the day with no problems

She's most likely within a 100 yards of me still, bedded. Hopefully she draws out Mr. Big later.

Back in. Opted for the stand Tyler shot Splits from. When he hung this stand he said it’s the best looking one he’s hung in a long time. It does look good.

 

[Bowkills]

Just saw a big buck on a hot doe group stalk didn't fare so well, hr waisted.

Anyone else struggling with the south and East winds recently? My farm runs north/south. Most bedding to the west with fields to graze and water East. I can’t get access from north due to leased hunting ground. I’m in and set up best possible. Picked up a new 350 legend on my way home from work Good luck y’all!

 

[Spencie]

This cam is 100 yards behind me. I can see it looking in the right spot. Didn’t see the 9.5 point. Grrrrrr

 

[Sgt Fury]

Just saw three deer pass a small opening. Couldn’t tell what they were and they were angling away from me. I gave one bleat followed by three grunts and one of them turned toward me as I could catch a glimpse of movement every so often...it was a spike. I have no idea what the other two with him were but it sure was nice to see some deer today.

 

[OO2]

I’m in. NE wind is no good. Goodluck all

 

[Wildlife]

A couple of the little ones on their feet early, which is good sign. Caught this button @30yrds. NW-N of me as it was grazing towards the overgrown open field to the NW.

Hopefully, this cooler air will get them all up early this evening.

Can't wait!

I need to somethin with big antlers within bow range.

 

[Schu72]

Snake bit, or so it seems. After my morning mishap, I decided to check a cam at the big farm during lunch. Wouldn't you know it....there was a solid buck bedded with a doe right on the field edge 25 yards from my cam. Decide to let that cool off until tomorrow. Go to get up in the stand at mom's and a fucking squirrel chewed my gear rope in half.

Well. I'm in. To continue with the fuck 2020 train, bumped a doe and buck outta the little finger of thicket behind the stand I was walking to. Figures. Oh well. I have snacks.

We back in. I moved two stands for the boys. Wind changed so I put up 2 ground blinds where I have been seeing them. Wind is good for all of us now coming out of the NE. They look like cedar trees out there. My stand is facing due west and sun shines on me all day except early morning. 65 degrees right now.

Saw8 total this AM. All antlerless. A few were in shooting distance but I am holding out there must be a good buck in there! Except for two who busted me early none were acting nervous at all.

Should still be working. Getting in a short hunt instead. Got in late.within minutes had a pretty good buck within 100yds. Grunted. Bleated. Snort wheezed. Nothing. Shortly after I heard light sparring. I just want a big bodied buck for the freezer.

I don't know what to do. Spot and stalk or sit blindly. Big ones in open country r being killed. The one we tried for earlier was a biggin but didn't come close. 6 does in the wide wide open across from my house currently are vearing toward my house. All those deer smells I'd bet a buck will be along sometime to harass them.

 

[Schu72]

This was a tough pass. Crabclaw 10.
