sounds about like the luck I'm having...I went out Saturday and took a climber which I'm not the best or quietest with. Made it up the tree in a really good spot and pulled my bow up about a foot and the rope broke. I climbed down and sat in some brush and got ate up by mosqutos and didn't see a thing lol.

OK, so the rain clears out today, temps for tomorrow seem "ok"....but it's gonna be 25-30mph winds all weekend.
I'm actually thinking about staying around home this weekend instead of going south.
Could maybe do a short morning stillhunt over at Caesars Creek on Saturday morning....
But windy days have just always sucked for me.
I just don't feel like spending all that road time when I'm not optimistic about weather conditions.
What do you guys think?

Got out tonight for the first time this week. It was a pretty good evening, I saw 10 does and 2 button bucks. Alot of activity just no mature bucks. I did see quite a few new rubs and scrapes though. Planning on moving a few cameras tomorrow on some of the scrapes.

Well boyz I've been hitting it hard, and where I am the deer ain't.
The spot where I'd been seeing deer last year and earlier this year has dried up. My other spots have only produced a couple of sightings. Seems like pickings are slim.
I don't think it's me getting busted, I think my cover/movement/scent is good.
This weekend I had a red fox at 15 yrds and two humans at 24 yds, all unaware of my presence.

Kinda discouraged, will just keep at it.

Dang.

Well the fog was really bad this morning. I have shifted my thought on where I'll be spending my hunts for awhile after getting to see the wide 8 that Ive got pics of. He was with a doe Monday evening, just the two of them. Im not real sure she is ready but she must be smelling pretty good to him. Eighty yards is as close as they got to me but sightings like that is what got me out of bed this morning to sit for 4 hours in the foggggggggggggg. I will get to hunt Wed morn then Thusday nite and Friday morning before I have to go back to work. Good luck guys.

Friday and Sat all dayers for me Danno. Hopefully I "book" one ;) so I can get out. I hate, hate all day sits.

I would like to sit one place half day then walk to another for the other half. Always affraid of buggering up the woods.

Way to go Rutin, nice buck. Ive hunted the last 2 days and this morning the young bucks were cruising and chasing. Its getting better everyday here. Seen alot of turkeys which means the spring should be good to me LOL.
