Well made it out Sunday morning Monday evening and just got back from this mornings hunt....
Sunday, saw a buck about 70 yards in front of me. My buddy and I swapped stands and he ended up shooting it at 13 yards, heart shot ran 40 yards and piled up... ended up as a 10 point with two droptine stickers one about 3" and the second about an inch and a half.... Big body deer just a basket rack though... Figure he was either a 2.5 or 3.5 year old... live weight around 190 lbs....
Monday evening was a bust 4 hours of birds squirrels and chipmunks but did have an ultra light flying over head for an hour lol.... Wish he could of given me deer sightings lol....
This mornings hunt was slow until 0830. Had a buck looked to be a basket rack 8 point, large body mediocre rack. The bucks here kinda fool you because the ones we're seeing all have good body weight but smaller racks. The one this morning would of pushed 200lbs long and heavy but didn't look to be but a 2.5 year old... Well at least that's my guess not the best at it.... but he was a good one body wise.... not quite too the ears but decent for this area.... I can't honestly say if I would of pulled the trigger on him because he never got close enough for a shot lol....
My buddy and I are talking about moving a stand, we're seeing too many deer moving about a 100 yards to the east of our furthest stand in.... Well I should say he is seeing a lot of deer me not so much, but the area we're thing of is a heavy used trail that funnels them in to the property lines.... We shyed away from doing this because of that but may have no choice... We're talking it up and trying to talk ourselves into it lol... We'll see what tonight brings with this decision..... Just feels good too finally get out, it's like home away from home lol....
Good luck too y'all going out this week..... Now after reading the what is the best day to get out if you only have one thread has got me thinking what week too take off, I was going to go with the week of halloween but now not too sure..... Oh the things too think about lol....
