And they're back, cruising the field edges.and/or nesting/sunbathing, and now grazing through the field.

Down and out. Need to run a couple errands, then I'm back and headed for the sanctuary. Going to the thickest area we have and see how that goes tonight and all day tomorrow.

I was a clumsy kid. Kinda grew into it. Except with hunting. This morning could only be described as clumsy. Tough walk in, so I was sweating despite carrying more than half my clothes in and 2 does crested the ridge when I was 25 yards from the tree. It took 20 minutes for them to finally spook because I was now freezing and my right arm was asleep from my pack hanging of it. The whole time that was happening, a deer across the holler was snorting and stomping. Then as soon as I climbed up, a nice 2 year old strolled through while another deer blew down in the bottom. The spot is great, it's me that sucks. Fresh scrape at 22 right below the rising sun. Still had wet piss in it at 4PM yesterday.

I feel ya dude. I saw 12 last night. 11 of them knew I was there either by spooking them going in or changing wind direction. Always makes sick to my stomach to educate the deer.

2 does, a spike then at least a 3 year old passed by on a deliberate walk at 8:40 grunting at 45 yards. Dad was on the other end of the property and had a steady stream of deer until 11:30. One shooter, 1 2 year old and a yearling. Some lone does that sounded very skittish.

No shots fired but a very productive morning in the stand. Got in and got out undetected. Very smooth and low-impact. Had shot opportunities at 4 different bucks and a button buck. Just need the big boys to start cooperating.

I’m overlooking the clover plot. Cell cam action has been consistent here.
Who is the resident witch doctor? Lift this curse! I haven’t launched an arrow at an Ohio buck since January 2010.

This is weird to still be seeing this much foilage hanging on for the end of 1st week of Nov. Next week even moreso w/ the temps.

 

[hickslawns]

Been in about half an hour. Easily undetected. Even using the climber and taking extra time I was undetected. Not hard to accomplish given the lack of deer.

Not a complaint. It is what it is. I'm thankful to be where I am on this beautiful Friday afternoon with a weird ESE wind. Tarsals hanging. Hoping odd wind has deer move this way. Already saw one hunter brought in on a quad and dropped off NW of me. My scent "might" affect him but his scent shouldn't concern my sightings. Squirrels very active. Nov 5. ANYTHING can happen this time of the year! Good luck all!

 

[bowhunter1023]

Got my ambush for tomorrow hung and really like the spot, but the wind is still very northerly and inconsistent, so I slipped back down to the bottom since there was a good bit of sign all along the bottom. I'll sit all day tomorrow on the ridge and let the thermals do their thing. I'll definitely hear deer I won't see sitting here, but anything that strolls through here is well within range (if I don't blow it again).

Climbed in stand and neighbor sends me a text you hunting I said ya why you just kicked up a nice buck into my woods. Your welcome I guess. Hopefully he shows back up. I may be the worst deer hunter lol

Early movement for this spot, she walked across the field went out of sight for a few minutes and then walked back nibbling on beans.

 

[xbowguy]

We're in. Was here less than 5 and a medium buck followed a doe straight in.
I let Glenna choose a blind last night she picked wrong one~~he was here smashing apples at 6:30! So you know where we're hanging out.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE OUT!
Especially you Kevin. Your patience is 'bout to cash in!

I’m starting to question my sanity

 

[hickslawns]

You aren't alone Cotty. It's all good. I'm rooting for you. The rut is happening somewhere. Hopefully close to some TOOzer tonight

 

[Bigcountry40]

I got 2 does behind me feeding just waiting for a big ugly to come

 

[whitetailjunky3]

He only ran 742 yards as the crow flies anyone think he will come back? Lol

I’m starting to question my sanity

Makes you human...

 

[Outdoorsfellar]

Thanks Rick ! Nothing seen so far today. They'll come in at last light... right when I have to pee.

 

[oakswamper]

This dude has tried to get me to kill it about 4 times this week
