Recloud's 2014/15 season

[finelyshedded]

Good stuff Adam! I enjoy hunting from the ground too my friend. I found a place once that sat high in a side hollar behind a 36" beech tree that gave you the impression you were hunting from a stand. The prevailing wind was usually blowing up the hollar in your face with a scrape line and pinch down below about 25 yards away. Ron and I both scored on bucks from that spot but eventually lost it when the farm sold.
That big beech prolly still has "151" P&Y 10 taken from here" carved in it TOO" lol

You and Dave keep hunting hard! They're locked down right now but they'll be cruising again very soon! Hope you both kill a goodin! Good luck

Why do you think I sat behind a double trunk tree lol. I'm not nearly as skinny as I once was lol.

I take it back Ric. It's a shagbark hickory that I was sitting under not a beech tree. I don't know what I was thinking lol. Guess it's TOO early to talk about trees lol. There are a few beech trees out there and I have found the few turkey we have like to roost in them.

Words of wisdom.... Never sit under roosting turkeys while deer hunting...... Just sayin.....

I don't have to worry that much about it. The 5 birds we have I think I have better odds of shooting that 151" buck then being dumped on by a turkey lol.

Just don't look up lmao.... Or if hat 150" buck comes by they fly down lol....

Nothing like hunting off the ground and getting them in close. My first 10 years of bow hunting was all off the ground. Some of the encounters over those years are my most memorable.

Keep at it!

If you're able to get out this weekend Adam, good luck! The big Boyz should be about ready to come off that hot doe they e been courting this past week and back on the prowl for more! Be near a pinch or a doe bedding area this next 7-10 days as much as you can buddy! Keep on keeping buddy!

 

[Hortontoter]

I agree Ric. Find a good pinch point and be there as much as possible.

Going to post up on the north side of the bedding area this morning and see if I can catch a buck lol.

Hope you stick one, good luck.

Seen one small buck this morning. Seen 4 other hunters though. Also found out one of them gut shot the bigger 8pt last night and they jumped it 8 hours after the shot. Bet they don't find it either. Back to being overrun with hunters and only small trash bucks for now.
