LIVE! From the Stand 2023-2024 Edition

How about one more to rub it in. Again, not a definite shooter, but I know the neighbors want to shoot him, so it mighta happened. The deer gods truly hate me 😂

21 so far this morning. 10 different bucks. 6 different 2 1/2’s, four of which I let walk at 15 or less. Could have shot two adult does or their fawns, too. The one buck I would shoot stayed just out of range. Texas 4x4. Tall, wide, long beams, perfectly evenly, no mass. Still in the 130’s easy.
 
Up to 8 does and 4 bucks. Solid sit all things considered. That said, this is about as late in the year as I've been without seeing a really good buck back here (130"+ or 4+). Definitely a sign of the pressure and change in herd quality that's taken place here in the past decade. Like I told my cousin this week, the good old days are gone, literally and metaphorically.
 
I’m in for the first time since the trip south. Pile of unantlered deer on this property, so I’m hoping they wanna get a nibble of acorns or corn despite it being 60° and windy as balls. Love this stand, setup and property. Whether I see anything or not I’m happy to be out enjoying this weather before I go back to reality on Thursday for a couple days. Good luck if any one else is out.
