Cool video. Watched it on the beast. Good luck with the filming.

Still fresh. Good to know. Will add to my bunker next to twinkies.

Dead bug isn’t encouraging. Not like this is ALONE. I can grab McDonald’s at any time.

Nothing wrong with the crab. Just not the expected taste when you bite into a nutter butter. Going to test it out in a few. Think I will pass on the 12 month old chocolate milk however.

Year in a blind. Still edible? Or will they taste like Tacks imitation crab.

Ever notice how you can get excited when watching a little one and they perk up like they see others coming. Lol

She came inside 30. But she needs a few years.

First deer. Looks like a doe fawn at 60 or so.

Ok. Actually checking in live from the woods

Probably not the whole story as I bet wny has more hunters per sq mile too. But I don’t doubt deer density is higher here

Not buying it. Even a big guy can scoop twice.

Why do they always put the big guy in the goofy hat!

Little Joe is close by - probably tied up by kidnappers while Hoss is searching for him

3 of us eating pizza for lunch in a blind last year and we had a nice 8 stop by at 20yds.

That's a big piebald!

Hard to say Biz. If I see a buck in early season at first light or later, I assume he is bedding nearby and try to guess based on the observed travel. But at 4am, he could be bedding a long ways away. Early season, the closer to light you catch one, the more likely it may be that he is bedding close by I suppose. As the season progresses, all bets are off.

Little early for it to be likely effective, but the grunt tube is the one item I have hanging on my neck at all times in the stand. Hold until you know that they are heading away from you and let her rip.

I don't usually make any effort to mess with ones I won't shoot as I don't want to risk giving myself away for the one I don't see. But if there is a buck I want to shoot walking out of my life, I will give it a shot. I have grunted more than one in and the snort wheeze got one that wouldn't commit to return to return for a shot. No harm if it doesn't work.

Did you make any attempt to get him to turn? grunt, grunt snort wheeze? What do you have to lose?

IMO - for sure Biz. Which is why its always good to try to do that spring scouting and identify bedding sites before season. But even if you haven't, you can take your best educated guess on where he is bedding and set up. Or perhaps an early morning scouting/hunting trip where you think he may bed might yield the necessary intel and if you bump him while doing so, set up and consider wind when setting up and a possible J hook by buck if he returns. Again, never tried it but its a tactic discussed on hunting beast often. If you really want to hunt that buck, what do you have to lose by trying it. I know I have had a few tactics work on first try that I was questioning.

Yep. Find his bed and a way to set up for an evening hunt real close (within 75yds) very quietly without being busted. If he is not bedding at your place then you are probably hoping he cruises in rut. An aggressive tactic that I have read can work but never tried is a bump and dump. Bump him from bed in morning and set up hoping he returns same day.
