The TOO Live Hunt and Recap Thread: 2013 Edition

That's the thing. I really don't do much other hunting. And deer hunting is in my blood. It would have been over before it began. All that anticipation and excitement for season over in the first three hours with 4 months to go.

I completely get that Joe. We're just getting started, our best hunting is still weeks away.

Congrats Strizzi!

I shot a doe one year that was probably smaller than the family dog. rotflmao Sure felt good releasing that arrow, and I don't remember complaining when I had good eats on my plate.
 
Had a couple walk thru at 6:45 could only see their silhouettes then they got to my right and winded me. Just had another wind me behind me too. Damn swirling wind is not acceptable, gonna give this area a rest for a while after today.

I misjudged that deer. I think it was because I was looking down on his rack and thought he was a different deer i had gotten pics of. Jd sent me a pic he had on his TC of him, i never got a pic of This deer. needless to say I'm back in the same stand this morning.

I can hear deer this morning but I can't see them. Squirrels are barking so maybe some are coming from the direction that I can see. These leaves suck! Haha
 
Congrats, Strizzi on your doe. Good eating right there!

Man, Joe! Sucks kinda, first day of season with a deer like that in bow range. He sure looks good at 140"? Tough, tough decision right there!

Dont beat yourself up strizzi. My first doe ended up having buttons and a penis. Was still my first archery kill though. Lol

Congrats on the start of an archery career!

Nice stuff all around people!

Sounds like you need to get a scent smoker.

I have one lol I had the thing roaring with smoke this morning and I took it thru my hair and my jacket and my pants and and everything else I carried in. Probably 5 minutes of smoking. Should I have done it longer?
 
It works, but not all deer will react the same. I had a deer catch me moving yesterday and she went straight downwind of me. She was there for 20-30 minutes just walking around eye level and a little above me. She never did snort and her fawns never had a clue.

Did you smoke all your gear TOO? Showered? Clothes washed? Changed at your hunting grounds? Boots? You never know what they'll smell or see...
