    Zemm, Sorry to hear about smokie. I'm sure you picked a nice spot by the in-laws to lay her to rest. Most of us have been in your situation, we all know it sucks. Good luck this weekend-your journal is great!

    Very sad, always have a knife handy for last resort to cut yourself loose. Gob bless the family.

    The extra two weeks for bow have been a blessing. Gives me an extra weekend to hunt, saw a lot of deer. Learning a lot about early season hunting. Next year we will have some youth hunters also. I like it.

    Better luck next time. You gave it a good shot. Deerthug and Carbon said to look and listen to the crows. I found a buck I liver shot years ago by doing this. It didn't take more than 6 hours for those birds to start feasting on my deer. Its tough, that liver shot deer left blood for 40 yards and bedded twice. Found him 300 yards from the last blood sign. For once those damn birds were useful.

    We are all rooting for ya but do as Buck says and call deer search. They are amazing and helped my Nephew find his deer last year. Sort of the same situation. He couldn't believe where this deer lay dead. He must of passed it a few times on his initial search. Good luck.

    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!

    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.

    My bad Phade, he was a Pope and Young buck. Wish he was a Booner!!!!!!!
  17. First-light
    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!
  18. First-light
    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!
  22. First-light
    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.
  24. First-light
    Same here. Bear took the camera off the tree and I found it 20 yards away.
