We all need a break now and then. Couldn't of come at a better time. I'll keep an eye out for the guys hunting a few minutes before and after legal hunting hours. Please don't forget your BO vest. lol all kidding aside be safe and I hope to see a picture in your next post standing next to an Adirondack bruiser!

Real nice buck hope you get him!

Welcome Gyle! This is a great place, every once in a while you will catch a wiff of a wood stove burning and venison chili simmering on the stove.

Look at the bright side, this all could of been happening further into the season. Plenty of time to get out there. Good luck.

Cool story, it's great when you can call them in. BTW I always set up down wind from a scrape. Shot a Booner that way when he came in to scent check the scrapes he made the night before. I put myself 40 yards down wind of his scrape he came in at 35, end of story! -
Totally agree, wind is everything when it comes to hunting, well almost everything.
-
Yup, I have found 22 cal bullets inside deer. It's a damn shame but people will shoot them with these guns.

Never surprised one on my property. One year during opening day a sow and cubs hung around my brothers stand till dark. He called me and I came over around 4:30, still light and was able to walk up to his stand. The sow and cubs were 30 yards away content on eating corn. One of the cubs walked within 20 yards of me and Momma didn't care. They moved on after loud yelling and a gun shot.

I had a doe and fawn by my stand as I climbed into it saturday morning. They were 20 yards away and didn't know what I was. I fumbled around settling in. After 10 minutes Momma had enough and blew 3-4 times and off they went. Not more than 20 minutes here comes a big spike horn and after him another small buck. 3 hours later two huge bucks cross 50 yards above me. These critters are tough to figure out. You would of thought my hunt was over when she snorted, nope it was just beginning!
-
50 yard shot at dusk, they hang hunters around here for less. lol

This is from my stand in a field on my property. This field has woods around all 4 sides. deer feel real comfortable crossing at any time during the day. The two big bucks I saw were at the top end of the field skirting thick pines.This is a first year clover plot. We will double the size next year.
-
Same here. Bear took the camera off the tree and I found it 20 yards away.

Looks like the Columbus Day Youth season is on!

Congratulations to all who participated and made it a big success. -
Nice Sam!

Good luck!

Way to go!

I put a cam out when we left yesterday. I hope they show up again but as we know in two weeks things can heat up quickly. We shall see.
-
WoW!
-
looks it, any vegetation in it? They eat grass, I always find that in the bear scat around my place.
-
The deer were moving on Sunday and I had an encounter with two older bucks. There is nothing like seeing a 2.5-4.5 year old buck in the wild. These two were big and grey and the racks were white. The big buck had 10 points and was huge. Hope to see them again this year! BTW they were never caught on my cams.

Good luck Grow, feel better!
