  1. Many years ago a buddy and I drove to Rickards in Cobleskill to by some Scent. They were surprised we drove to their business instead of buying it at Walmart. They gave us a nice little discount. It was sad to see them leave for Pennsylvania.
  2. Couple of spikes came into the food plots before dark. Things are getting back to normal.
  3. Looking forward to some action, has that deer kind of feel!
  4. I couldn't take all the excitement so I headed back to the house, where I stand a good chance of seeing deer. Walking up the driveway my cell phone blows up with 15 pics of does and fawns not far from my stand. Not what I'm looking for anyway, but you never know when they might show.
  5. Saw a 6 pointer as i was leaving the house and saw 2 does and a fawn on stand. Also saw a flock of turkeys, about 40-50 of them running across the far end of the field.
  6. Confidence Guys and Gals! We've all had slow days, slow weeks and slow seasons. We all know how fast it can change. Hunt every minute that you can and think positive. We will all miss this in a month. Stay focused and good luck!
  7. 11/11/2021 I did some blind grunting once it got light. He appeared a few moments later at about 55Yds. I grunted a couple of more times and he came right in. 18yd. shot and went about 20yds. and expired within sight. The Reconyx picture was taken just before I first saw him.
  8. Not sure if it’s the one that almost railroaded me, but once it got light enough I grunted a few times and he appeared about 55 yds away. Grunted again and he came right in. 18 yd shot and he ran maybe 20. Getting ready to climb down. Pics soon!
  9. And as the band Slayer would sing “Spill the Blood”. Buck on the ground within sight!
  10. Holy crap! I’m almost to my stand and I hear one running off. No wait he’s coming at me! The deer stops on the other side of a beech tree. 4 or 5 yards away, I can hear it breathing. Then it ran rift past me within feet. I was two steps away from my stand so I waited a minute and climbed up. Haven’t heard anything since. Wow! That woke me up!
  11. I saw nothing this morning. My girlfriend had texted me that she saw four deer in a field down the road heading to work this morning and two of them were bucks. We saw two bucks in the same field on Sunday morning. I went there mid day to check the wind and I came up with a plan. I set up my doe decoy (AKA Kaitlyn) and I blended myself in on the hedgerow. At 4:15 I looked across the field, about 250 yards, and here comes a tall eight pointer on a B-line towards my decoy. I got my crossbow raised and when he was about fifty yards out he stopped. He back peddled about ten yards and began to slowly wandered off. I bleated a couple of times and he would stop and look but continued to walk away. I thought it was going to happen tonight. That was one of the coolest hunts, my heart was pounding out of my chest!
  12. Out for a quick morning hunt before the Dentist. I bumped two out of a brassica plot that I’ll be watching. So close to the house I even have WiFi!
  13. In my younger days, most likely. Antler Restrictions area now, which I’m happy with. Plenty of nice ones around and I’ve got this week off.
  14. 8 hours in tree and nothing seen. It can only get better!
  15. Good luck all! I'll be at work for the next three days, then 9 days off!
