Congrats !
I got one a few years back,when I couldn’t draw compound anymore . I just went to a shop and paid a grand for a Ten Point ,zero research. Killed some deer and coyotes,never knew I was supposed to lube the rails lol . Whatever .
I may even go,out in the late season ,although I don’t need any more meat , and it seems wrong to shoot another buck and give the meat away

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI just switched too, although I don’t do all day hunts, more for layers , warm hats etc. Hunting my buddies spot tomorrow,our first hunt together this year, a north wind made the choice easy as at my spot that’s not so great .

Red squirrel with a burst of speed through the leaves certainly got my attention. Nice morning out. Cmon deerz.
As I told my neighbor who just started hunting . “ if it sounds like a deer, it’s a squirrel, and if it sounds like a squirrel, it’s a squirrel.”

I have an old picnic table and some sandbags to dial in with . Then all our practice is off hand , I can’t recall using a rest in the woods , unless leaning against a tree counts . At least half my gun deer have been from drives and pushes of some sort , and those “ rests” that come on my big ladders I remove as they get in the way of my bow .

So is it your contention that if we have a warm November the whitetails wont breed, causing a huge population crash?! I dont know man...

The main reason I went today, was because I could tote the xbow, sitting there hoping you can draw back your compound is not an enjoyable sit .

Just moved to the lee side of the woods , may not see deer here either, but it’s much more comfortable.

Very strong wind ! I guess I should check the weather and not just look at highs / lows . No deer seen .
-
It’s 61 out ! I’ll go for a bit, but that’s it till Tuesday morning when it cools off .

Went to a stand in the thick stuff, one that used to pay off,buts been slow lately, first sit this year and last year not sure if I used it . Prior to the season I opened a path across the drainage ditch , well so did the deer ,I took the wrong one . Spent 20 minutes walking around on dry leaves and sticks , started to sweat really good too .
Once up I dropped my reading glasses .
Had a molar pulled last week , it broke and she worked hard for 1/2 an hour to get it out , after a few days it really hurt , I fought that for four days ,went back , dry socket, exposed bone ,close to sinus yada yada . She packed it and used stiches to hold it in place . Pain the whole sit tonight can’t talk it hurts like an electric shock through the socket .
Oh and hip hurts really bad ,with each step ,should be fun dragging one out .
Home now popped and oxy and poured some gin .

What a cluster f#%^ getting to this stand , I only stayed because I figure the deer won’t fear someone so inept .

The corn fields where I hunt a finally being picked today. I imagine they will follow up with injected manure. Every time time they do that, I never see anything in the fields for weeks.
This is the third year they have been doing this , the farm that boarders me to the South , doesn’t so that’s one route to and from the thicket and woods that may pay off .
Used to be a field here and there now they do them all it seems .

What is that ? Large rifle ? Last time I went to the shop I use , they had small pistol, 44 mag and a bunch of others . I paid little attention as I have no use for them .
