Live from the stand!

Sorry man… I've got a feeling I'll be saying the same thing at some point this year.
That sucks Jesse. On another note, I was getting hungry & decided to walk back to the house to get a bite & let the dogs out. I also wanted to change batteries in my mms cam right next to my blind when I got back. As I was finishing doing that, all hell broke loose. A 8 ptr chasing a hot doe came up to me & all around. I didn't think I was gonna get back in my blind in time & just about didnt. He wasn't a shooter , but I just knew something was gonna happen @noon time. No other bucks were following.

Dang Jesse, sorry to hear that man. Had to get out of the stand at 10:30 due to class at 11 I couldn't miss. Got to work second shift, 4-11 tonight but will be back at it tomorrow morning and night along with Wednesday. Friday looks like a crap shoot with winds in the high 20's and rain but maybe Saturday night I can get out. Just can't believe it's highs of mid-high 50's in the middle of November.

Jesse, that stinks! I sincerely feel bad for you. Time to hunt just to hunt. You never know what will show up.

Sorry to hear Jesse.
Gunner and I get to the farm this morning to find a truck parked along the road with North Carolina tags parked where I walk into my stand. I pull over and check it out and see a headlamp walking down the hollow towards my tree stand and then another in the other side of the hollow. I knew there wasn't supposed to be anybody else hunting this farm besides Gunner and I. The one headlamp turns around and starts walking towards me and asks if I know who's property I'm on! I said hell yeah I know do you? He said we aren't hunting this property just waking across it to get to property we have permission to hunt on. As I try to explain to him that he still needs permission to be on the property he turns and walks back the direction he was going to begin with. I decide to go ahead and hunt my stand until 9;00 or so and as I think about it more and more and get more and more pissed off I text the land owner and fill him in and pull my stand. The land owner is good friends with the local WO that lives a mile up the road so needless to say they aren't parking there anymore and I hope they got a fuggin ticket. On a bright note though, I rehung my stand and in less than an hour I had 3 does, one button buck, and a nice 10 point that will be a definite shooters in a year or two , under me.

Sorry to hear that Don. Hope those Tar heels don't get that guy before you are able to.

Damn the heat ! Nothing else was happening & the sun was burning right thru my fleece shirt. I ended up moving a cam, deploying another & went back to the house.
Sorry to hear it Jesse. You got a couple others that were shooters though don't you? You have had some awesome pics this year. I do know that feeling though and it does deflate a man for a minute.
Don- I am guessing with Gunner in tow, the guy lucked out. If Gunner wasn't with you, would the conversation have ended different?

Think I'm gonna head to a small 5 acre wood lot this afternoon that I have permission on. I usually leave it alone til late season and hunt over the feeder. I guess now is as good a time as any to fill it up and set the cam on it to get them used to coming in and see what's in there since the deer around here apparently aren't interested in sex
I have 2 other deer that are nice, just not 160s nice.
Couldn't find my yote. Going home to find the bottom of a few beers. I need a few days to regroup. Only seen my daughter a total of an hour since Thursday, I'm sure she'd like to hang with dad. Maybe I'll take her out hunting at my parents.

Good luck, man. I'm sure taking a couple days to get your head right and see the family will definitely help.
