The TOO Live Hunt and Recap Thread: 2013 Edition

One small buck, one pretty dang nice one. It was the big 6 I posted a pic of somewhere the other day. I'll post pics when I get home.
 
Well, it seemed like a good idea .... I went back to my morning spot in the dark & the deer were already there. I had just gotten a mms pic of a smaller buck as I was leaving the house, so I figured I was gonna bump something. Nothing else was moving afterwards until @ 0830, I started hearing half ass snorts.... over by my house about 100 yards away. There's a woodlot next to my house & I never hear alarmed deer there. The snorting continued off & on, then there was a deer snorting back behind me, where I was last night. I'm thinking there's no way they could scent me. Soon afterwards, I heard a long gutteral grunt where the 1st snorting is. Then there was a lot of comotion going on , but just briefly, then the snorting started up again, then trailed off. I figured some buck was trying to pin down a doe, hence the snorts, I dunno. I ended up walking over @ 1000 & I just knew I was gonna bumped something. Sure enough, I saw a doe heading up to the backside of the lot. Never did see the buck , but there were some very fresh scrapes at the entrance of the woodlot. I don't know why I never sit in there, since their always coming thru. That's gonna change I do beleive. I can't go back out tonight & tomorrow will be iffy.
 
Well, I headed back in. No more sightings. On the way out I walked into the woods for the first time this season (don't wanna disturb it early) and found that there is a huge scrape 20 yards behind my stand. Pulled my camera and brought it back with me to the cabin but it is going to go over the scrape when I go back out this evening.

While in the cabin and I pulled the card....bucks visiting this area every evening so I will be back out. Curious to see what will happen now that the corn was taken down last night.

Good luck all!
 
Great to see TOO nation hitting it hard today! I'm living vicariously through y'all! Good luck! I've got a feeling something is dying tonight. :smiley_coolpeace:
 
Sitting at work in Nc thinking about Ohio, 6 more days! Looks like its starting to heat up. Good luck to u all
 
Corn is down on a farm I picked up last year. I have a stand that needs a due S wind and we've got that. I'm hoping to get home in time or a sit tonight.
 
Ummmm, drizzle! Me loves the driz!:smiley_bril:

Just gotta be super alert and ready cuz they'll get by you if you ain't on your toes. Head on a swivel,yardages checked and bow in hand.....your good! Good luck everyone!
