Happy Birthday Squirrelwhisperer !

Tripod stand anchored

Sure would like to get a crack at this guy ! The time should be AM not PM . I didn't want to disturb the area by going back to correct the time .

Got up at 3:30 and had one of my headaches but decided to go out anyway as my youngest son , nick , was going to be there in Geneseo . I took a stand by the creek and didn't see anything . Nick was over 700 yards away in a willow tree stand . He texted me around 9 that he had just shot a doe with his Matthews compound and had a pass through . He sent a picture of his arrow - red from tip to nock . He waited a few minutes and found his doe laying in the adjacent winter wheat field . He field dressed it and put in on one of my old sleds that I had left there . In the mean time I had moved to the laneway and sat in a chair where 2 field meet the laneway . I told Nick to start pulling the sled and he might kick something to me . Didn't happen . We grabbed our gear and pulled the sled up to his car about 1/2 mile away . I am too old for this crap . I brought my car over and had a small tarp in the back end . We laid the tarp in the Hitch Basket Carrier then loaded the doe in the basket . Covered the doe and strapped her in . I followed his car for a mile to make sure the carrier looked okay and it stayed pretty level . Nick said he saw 2 bucks and 9 doe . He was pleased at seeing so many deer and got one of them . I still had a bad headache and headed home . Nick's Doe

Right , you have to stand up to shoot over the rail on the TriPod stand . I had to modify the seat platform as it put me too close to the rail . I wasn't concerned about being able to shoot in 360 degree direction .

I have one on my son's small property . We anchored it to a couple of small trees . They aren't that steady and I wouldn't climb into it when we had it in the open area where we had set it up . It certainly would stick out in an open field . If you could tuck it into a hedge row and anchor it , you might be okay .

Tried Geneseo again . Sat in the woods in my double chair blind in the morning . Saw 3 different bucks , 1 doe and 2 that I couldn't tell if they were buck or doe . All this between 8 and 10 am . Saw them through the thick brush . Took a break and moved my car & trailer . Placed the chair blind in a different spot overlooking the crop field . Had a spike go by at 5 yards. Was tempted but he was so close and moving fast that I couldn't get a bead on him . Shortly after 4 , I saw a doe in the winter wheat field eating . Watched her for about 15 minutes . She came in from a couple hundred yards and I thought she was going to offer a shot but she spotted the camo double chair blind and went into the gulley lot . I packed it up at 4:30 and headed home . I saw over a dozen deer while driving on lima Road . No shot but at least I saw some deer . The farmer 2 fields East of my SIL's woods started combining the corn around 2 pm . That should change the deer travel .

Saw 2 bucks and 2 other deer between 8 and 815. They were upwind of me in a thick area. Probably headed to the corn field. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

There is no such thing as an "ex Marine" !

Happy 245th Birthday to our fellow Marines ! Semper Fi !

I got mine !

I joined June 19 , 2010 . Big deal ...........

There is something Fisher about this whole thread !

The distance is the horizontal distance , not the diagonal distance . That's where a range finder with an Angle Compensator comes in handy .

So since Harris / Biden team won , when do we Conservatives / Republicans start Rioting and Looting ? We have never done this before . Do we start at Home Depot , DICKs and Best Buy ? Asking for a friend .

Welcome to Hunting NY !

Hunted at Geneseo this am with my youngest son for 3 hours with the crossbow . Saw a buck and 2 doe . No shot . Spent the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon putting up more tree stands and doing a lot of trimming to have them ready for gun season . I saw 5 dead deer while traveling north on Route 390 between Lakeville Exit 9 and Henrietta ..

At least by 6. I think sunrise is 654. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

That's the buck I almost got a shot at . He came from down wind and knew where I was .
