HuntOrBeHunted

Burned a few ticks off my pants already. Not what I wanted to see. Lots of geese but no deer yet

I can't be the only one heading out on this nice calm cool morning right lol !? Good luck everyone lets get er done can't kill deer from bed fred !!!

Around 2

Speaking of this year in general when is everyone seeing the most deer movement and success morning or afternoon ?? I have saw more deer this year in the morning. I'd rather hunt the afternoon but I will go with whats hot in that area. Lot of deer movement in the first hour or so of light my way.

Wait till a rainy day and snake your way in there. Will be fine, find the best cover you can for the stand and you're set.

Cool story. Very nice buck. Congrats.

That's awsome. Congrats.

Niceeee. Congrats on a hell of good start to the season. Like the pic set up as well. Now thats a hunt.

Dam, can't even lie that looks great. Need to try this. Good bit of info shared.

Yea I didn't want to deal with the heat and extra bugs that will be out. First deer that was shot this year on the land had a bunch of ticks so it must be crusing in that thick stuff often. I walked a bit deeper in and around found a dream run and a big rub. I can't wait to see what comes out of that trail.

Well if the sun comes up for a legal shot around 7 that's a super short hunt. Hope it works out for ya

The time I leave changes daily. I'm good for 3 or 4 hours for sure. But on the same note I shot my best buck after telling myself to stop getting itchy @ss and wanting to move. So it varies.

Took the warm day to move a trail cam to a nice rub coming out of the thicket. Got a feeling it's a brutess ( My name for big bucks ) running threw there. Weather says rain tomorrow so i'm going to make a stand move. Then thursday it's hunt on. Good luck all.

I'd take a 30-30 any time.

The deer are loving them my way. I'll be putting a ladder stand in the middle of the patch come gun season. Food will be harder to find and the acorns will be plentiful still.

That's a nice set of pics. Thanks for sharing.

Winchester 130 grain. Old been around, proven, accurate and still fairly cheap. Use them they shoot very well out of anything including my 270. I stick with one kind of ammo for a bunch of reasons and i've never in my life had any winchester round no matter the caliber misfire.

Didn't get to post yesterday was super busy and don't get service to update live at my normal hunting spot. I brought a new bow hunter out for his first time yesterday. He ended up nailing a small buck. Got in well before sun up, geared up a little smack talk and made a game plan. Well maybe a half hour after the sun came up he comes walking up the path to my stand ( which wasn't in our plan lol ) he tells me he got one. So we go recover his deer. Only went about 20 yards the rage crushed em. Drag em to the camp to gut and skin him. He was so excited to get his first deer. It was a great time. He sent me a text message that I hadn't got at the time that said " I think I got one ".. Second text. " I'm shakin " lol. All in all it was a great hunt I was seeing deer within 100 yards and was hopeful to fill a doe tag but him getting one was a better ending anyway. My turn now. Figured i'd share the first note worthy story of the year. Good luck everyone.

Been slow in the mornings my way. Not even seeing many deer. Afternoons a new ball game. Beautiful morning to be up and at em none to less.

Brisk, clear and cold my way. Feeling great this morning. Headed out soon. Good luck all.

Happens to the best of us. Good luck on the rest of your season.

What a brute. Congrats on a hell of a deer.

That's one reason why I only use one pin. Compensate for the distance otherwise. On the bright side you took in a great day of hunting and at least it was a pretty clean miss. Good story to read. And well put. Better luck to ya, it happens to the best of us.

x3.. No pic , No deer kind of thing. Lol.

I hear ya. First deer I saw this year made less noise than the chipmunks running around.
