LIVE! From the Stand 2022-2023 Edition

[ThatBuckeyeGuy]

Looking on my phone for deer processing right now. My standards get higher with the temps going up lol. Just wanted to beat the little eight I shot in 2020 but it's going to have to be a mounter to fuck with one when it's warm out.

Same boat lol , latest open processor close to me closes at 8. So I'd have to gut it and get it there by then and its a half hour drive. The deer haven't been showing up till just before dark where I hunt. Otherwise I'd have to call off work tonight if I shot one and quarter it and get it in the fridge and then take it in the morning . Decisions decisions

I’d call the processor and see if they have a drop off procedure. Some do. They’ll have a walk in cooler you can place it in.

It's archery also and we all know it's not a perfect hit every time. If you hit liver and have to wait till the next day to track it you would only be getting pics and no meat. Should of hit the buy now button when looking at Rtic 65 quart coolers the other day.

Very slow today. Haven’t seen a single deer. All of the activity on the pile is from 8pm-2am. Thought the rain would have them moving all day.

Heard one deer blow this am, some guy stumbled in around 9, so that was awesome. Pulled all of our stuff and have relocated to another section of this public. Loving this setup, other than the wind being an absolute a-hole. It looks like it could be bedding 360° around me, and a pretty nice oak flat upwind and cross wind from me. We saw very little buck sign, but tons of super fresh deer sign everywhere, and we wanna kill something. I’m in a huge oak that has a super old ladder stand in it, that replaced a wooden stand that’s in a pile at the bottom. Figured that was a good sign. Plus I didn’t have to haul my sticks in with me, just my platform. Warm temps and swirling ass wind, should setup terribly. Ya never know tho I guess.

Decision made , fugg that job!

Sat this morning out because of the rain. Sitting on a little ridge between 2 of our food plots. Don’t have a lot of confidence right now in this heat, no shooters and lack of movement lately. Good luck to anyone that’s out.

I am out
In a new stand today
Plenty of sign walking in
It is too warm !!!

 

[Chancegriffis]

Well, looks like the boys want to make a sit tonight behind the house with their crossbows! Getting dressed in now! Looks like I’ll be hunting after all! No good daylight movement out here in eastern guernsey on big boys but there are two shooters for the boys making an appearance daily right at last light! Plus does are fair game too! Praying for deer blood tonight!!

 

[LonewolfNopack]

Good luck fellows. Some of you guys most certainly love deer hunting more then me. This is good fishing weather. I reckon ill probably make my first sit of the year this weekend. Sounds about right.

Fresh scrape on the field edge 40 yards from stand , first one I've seen so far. There's usually quite a few on the field edge. Looks like I may have made a good call for this spot backing my vacation out until the second week .

Beware!

 

[Boarhead]

I'm out..not expecting much after the hit we took from EHD...maybe get lucky and a hot doe will pull a nice one in..

 

[Stressless]

First time this stand this year, S to W is good for it. Many videos last year and this I posted of bucks carousing along this bench between bedding and food making out with a licking branch. Double trunk oak but they're only 8" or so so had to argument the cover and concealment in both so now I'm just a shaggy blob..... lol.

Just had an Amish kid come walking in.... They used to help with hay and that's why the landowner let them hunt . Two years ago they said it's to far of a buggy drive after work and said they were done so I started hunting here again . They showed up during gun season last year and now I guess they're bow hunting again. When they used to hunt here I'd turn around and go home when I seen their buggy here. They had to walk right past my truck guess they don't share the same courtesy . They could've even hunted the other side of the farm.. coming back tomorrow and pulling my stand. Makes sense why I haven't seen hardly any deer here. Watched him go up with a climber in the middle of the bedding area

Sorry to hear that brother. I’ve had my run ins with the Amish this year as well… not worth having the conversation again. Seems like there’s very little respect when it comes to hunting that comes from those people

Agreed.. I'm not even going to get worked up over it this time . Just going to pull my stand and call it quits . Not worth the frustration. I will however be squirrel hunting quite a bit in this spot now.

Sitting between rain clouds. Hope they hold off until I leave. In my climber on the edge of corn and woods. Lots of oaks here. I have a fence row that dead ends 10yds in front of me. Standing corn either side of the fence row. Possible shooter passed the camera here 2 of last 3 nights in legal light. Third night at 815pm. Again this morning at 620. Need to see him on the hoof but pics tell me he will fill the freezer. Second season after our EHD year. I'm not shooting does yet. Meat is more important than antlers right now but I see maybe mid 130s I'm the grainy pics. Works for meat. . . I mean works for me.

Hopefully with a 12ga and lots of shells….
