No problem with that. The deer are used to that. Don't worry.

Dragging my 65 yr old butt outta bed before daylight The older I get the less I hate getting up early to climb into my stand. I like to be in half hour before legal shooting time but I’m starting to enjoy late afternoon hunts more

Got out for 2 hrs this morning. Saw two half racks squaring off in front of me. The little one scared off the big one it was funny. The food plot on lease property hadf a lot of Doe in it this morning. At 10:09 big 10 pt showed up looking for them! Nice to see the big boys again.

Ditto

I always like to see the bigger racks in person. That's why we shoot bigger rack bucks.

The live doe decoys continue to work. Bucks are acting whipped. Run through the mill. Not as excited as they once were. Winds got them a little more spooked too.

Deer sightings have been at an all time low. I’m just hoping to see one!

Im an early morning Hunter almost exclusively, but I TOTALLY understand what youre saying as I find it a bit harder to get up and at em in the dark. what motivates me is sitting there, enjoying the peace and serenity, watching the sunrise

At 7:30 I had a nice little 8 point poking along and stopped 30 yards downhill from me. Slightly quarter too but I’m not confident to shoot 30 without being level with the deer. So I took my chance to see if he would turn and come up the logging path towards me, or pass behind me. He chose to go behind, and slowly picked his way along but seeming focused on what he was doing. At an even steeper downhill angle he was quartered away at 27 yards. I even stepped down a rung on my ladder to try for a better angle. I steadied myself and as he passed behind a big tree, when he stepped out there were several small branches I worried might mess up the shot so yet again this season I passed. Moments later here came two nice does from where he went. They stood about 5 yards from the base of my tree so I couldn’t do anything without getting busted. They got nervous and walked off from where they came. I just did some more pruning and now have much clearer shot to that trail. And for the record, I tried to grunt at him when he was waking off and he paid it no mind.

Just in at 57 yards .

I hunt alone occasionally but most of the time I'm with family and or friends. In my opinion the meeting back up at the truck at the end of the hunt is almost as fulfilling as the hunt itself. I really enjoy the tailgate stories. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

In and up for the first time since last week. Was busy most of the day so I will only have from now till dark. Fingers crossed!

Back at it this afternoon. Noticing all the nice straight trees for saddle climbing. I need to invest in a setup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel the same way . At 83 it gets tougher to climb out of bed at zero dark thirty and the drive 50 miles to a hunting spot . I could hunt 10 miles away in Walworth but at my age I don't hunt unless one of my sons is with me . I didn't get to be this old by being too stupid .

I would have guessed 18" inside but never guess on weight because I am usually wrong which is why I bought a scale. All I know is some of the ones I have dragged out felt like 400 lbs. and they didn't weigh half of that
