Lol...I'm amazed you understood that..I typed it and had a hard Time!...stupid kindle

I'd rather have no sightings than what's been happening ...had a beautiful 8pt. Come in straight HD was on 30 yrds. I decide to take off safety. The safety has an audible click, no matter how careful I am. Well you'd have thought I snapped his arse with a rubber band. His head snapped upped and he looked right t rough me. Took couple of more steps,stopping 30's h time to stare at me then turned abruptly and went into the thick corn...at just before close I had a big single doe arrive. She would briefly show herself the pop back into the brunch...10 mins after close she decides to step out and feed 20 yrds in front of my stand as I'm trying to get out of the stand...

That doesn't even matter...She made so many promises and took so much money...she's ...sorry no other way to put this honestly, screwed no matter where she goes...but now she can at least dump Bill...lol

Congrats to him...more points than I have ......and a great looking father son photo op...sweet!

UPI started last night....We're all white racists ...not one person of any race, greed or color other than"lily white" voted for Trump...LMAO

Everything in the house is scent free for months before season...That said...what not to do...have spray estrus and stick it in your pocket...loose the cap and blend over getting into the blind . Then wondering as you are ,what the heck is that noise! Nothing like a pocket full of doe urine in a small enclosed space...hhmmm wonderful!...lol

6:10 until 11am...eegads everything hurts...but it wasn't a total waste of time...Great fog ,lots of rain (stopped now) still foggy and dang! temps dropped like a rock ..warming toes, eating and getting back out there...I literally had to hold the blind down a few times wind looked like a cyclonic vacuum cleaner... some pics.... notice my blind in the back ground of last pic...

That is BAD!...Pray everyone stays safe and sorry to all those that lost stuff...I know it's a pain...but it's only stuff......God Bless the fireman working this.

Papist.. just imagine the thumping he would have given her had the republican party not turned their back on their own candidate.... Everyone says we all need to come together,. I say the majority of American people did, but the Republican party needs to pull a few heads from the "nether regions" and come together for the people ...Not the power hungry old guard. They had best clean their own house for the people have had enough. We had best let them know we are watching and not so quietly anymore.

Ok guys...I've been hunting all morning... Did Obama call to congratulate Trump and when? BTW.. don't count all "registered" Democrats as fools...You all know I'm one and you knew my votes would go straight Republican, with the exception of district attorney. I know many Democrats that did the same...

Thank You to all who voted!! We as a nation broke the cycle, we told the old guard ,"We've had enough,listen up" We told this new too powerful breed of "news " media, Your not as powerful and we are not as clueless as you assume. We the people told the world, we're back!

Great buck...Congrats!!

Biggest turnout they have ever had and that was at noon...hahaha wait until 4-9....

Are you ready? This is for all the guys out there feeling bad about their season: Today I decide I'll hunt smart not hard...slept in a little did some ironing and had a leisurely coffee and bagel...showered and dressed to hunt the blind at 8:15.... Cam picture show 8:30 to 10:45 to be good times Then I have to vote and shop...before this afternoon. OK I saw nothing and that wonderful coffee kicked in and I hear the mail get delivered...I grab cards and walk to mail box across from the drive ..mind you other side of a road...I turn and look up to cross ...Go ahead ask me, what did I see when I looked up?....Standing at the end of my drive way is the big 6 looking at me...He has a big doe with him...and BTW he's not a big 6 ...he's a freaking huge 6! I stand there until the doe can no longer take it and she bolts for the empty corn field and takes the buck with her. Now he's curious and stops 30 yards out because I walked across the rd to the drive ...I see her bolt across the road to the neighbors sanctuary...I decide to do a couple of doe bleats by vocals. We stare at each other a bit until he goes after the doe...Are you freaking kidding me! So here's the kicker I look at the cards just now and what do I see? one of the bucks that I kicked out yesterday...The time stamp is a tad off on that cam...but I'll tell you, mins before I got to the blind Note that orange flagging to the rt. 20 yrd. marker . This because somewhere in the blk hole in our home is not only my phone ,but my watch with the new battery in it ,and yes my range finder.... So if your feeling down ,think of this

This is a good time to bring up tipping...these guys do this voluntarily,time ,gas,and yes vet bills or injuries to them....recovery or not ...TIP WELL!

You can buy stick on Velcro and attach a few small pieces to out side of blind and a few to blaze orang you buy at Wal-Mart. ...or if you have tie downs,attach string to orange and toe corners to tie downs.

Good deal... Now you can relax and enjoy the place..We always give a deer to our camp neighbors.She and her partner liked the meat but didn't hunt. She passed a few years ago and now it's the partner and adult son. Who doesn't hunt.

That is unless your brain dead and wanting to cast your vote for the She Devil that should. Not. Be named. Seriously,go vote today.

I like my Dog House blinds they are roomy for one person,OK for two. Holds up in snow.

Eddie you mean 4:51 right...Groveland and Geneseo are 4:55

I call that the tired syndrome....lol

That right there is why I chose to clear trails today..I reopened previous ones and the plots on them and managed to clear, for the first time, two major ones...no hunting this afternoon but will in the morning. Now that temps won't be as bad as they said...I can not believe the traffic these cleared trails get and there are a few heavy hitters using them...I have two on cams chasing doe around a turnip plot ant 11pm last night. A 4 or 6 with freakish tall tight main beams. and a heavy set 8pt. I just got in and decided not to finish up this late in the day ...I now wonder if this will effect the cam pics tonight...This is actually a good info gathering situation. What will come in and when....Good Luck guys.

Had an interesting morning and sealed my fate...Bow season just may be a no hitter this year...for luck is not on my side. ..I went to the garden blind at 6:15 ..it was getting pretty light out for I'm usually in the stand an hour and 1/2 early...I had one deer snort at the apple tree across from the bind ...but it wasn't a get out of town thing. Then up on the property line at 6:30 I hear a bunch of rattling and grunting and it sounded like they were in my tree stand 200 ft away. I actually unzipped the side window a bit to see if I could see anything...It sounded like plastic antlers...then it stopped. I waited and waited but never heard another peep from there then 200yrds away at the end of the lane way I see a dark figure move through the food plot headed down hill...but I also see another dark figure and a flash of white... Man this might be the guys coming up the lane way to me..I wait and half expect to start hearing grunting come from the property line, nothing. OK then I hear what sounded like a crossbow release..WTH ... was I wrong? was it a guy I saw? Sat a bit longer and I figured with all the racket I might as well take a slow walk ...need to check for leaf blowing anyways for the trails filled in again and it sounds like walking on broken glass..I plan on hunting the mornings up here...I went to the end of the lane way as quiet as possible and I'm behind one of my stands and on the edge of the WR plot..up pops not one buck but 5 running every which way ...I freeze, then have one run past me and I swing the crossbow around to catch him in the timber to my right his vitals are behind a tree and we are staring at each other at 35 yrds. I click the safety off but the bow is now getting heavy. I keep sight on the opening just in front of his chest..when he turns away and walks off,no shot . If he stopped ,did the others..yes they did! I have 2 in front of me and two to my left all around 70-80 yrds...the ones to the left are pacing back and forth one finally trots off to the farm field and the other goes down into the gully... Now I see a 6 point walking the gully in front of the stand where they were all bedded and it's circling around behind me...It has a bigger 6 or 8 bringing up the rear and the 3rd. has disappeared. It gets behind some trees and I try to back and slowly side step back to the edge of the lane way were the first deer ran... it catches me and trots past fast...about then I hear a snort behind me and I have a buck 20 yrds away turning to run...that one had circled back around on me . Now I have just one more chance and the bigger bucks rack is just visible coming up out of the gully. So I side step a few more times and we both hit the edge of the lane way at the same time...but there's a dip and I'm having a hard time judging the distance...his nose is in my scope and I know he'll hesitate when stepping out of the woods to that opening. He does and I have the cross hairs just behind his shoulder ..but which line? My brains going a hundred miles and hour and I decide on the 40 pin at a hair above mid way...I figure too close clean miss over him too far and I either have a low heart or a clean miss...I squeeze the shot off but can't tell what the hit sound was...he is turning and running up into the woods...then slows and is walking to the neighbors...he turns and is coming back behind me on their place then drops down out of sight...I tried to get the scope back on him but too many trees...I slowly pace the distance and come up with 45 yrds. I have my eyes to the ground looking for the bolt...I get to where he tore up the ground at the shot...no hair no blood ..his tracks were pretty big...no blood...I followed the shot line past where he ran and no bolt anywhere...So I go back and ever so slowly follow his tracks through the woods...not one drop of blood and the last tracks until he hit the neighbors lane way where slow ,close together. though admittedly a little too easy to follow. I had checked for the tail flicker and saw none... So That movement were deer...I see the young guys are still hanging together and I'm sure my bolt is sitting in the leaf piles I had blown to the side last week...or In the nowhere zone with the turkey arrow...this bolt went after deflecting off a rock. Wow It was them up there fighting and they made such a racket of it ,it sounded fake...Then they walked the neighbors lane way and turned onto our place to feed in the WR and bed on the edge of the gully...In my wildest dreams, I never expected to see 5 buck all hanging together this time of year all young though the one I took the shot on was a 21/2 for sure. I think the sound I heard was them having a hit and run session before bedding or perhaps a tree falling...there was no wind this morning... Exciting but when I pulled the cards on the way back 219 ,25, and 120... all huge doe,fawns,bucks of all sizes and ages...some during shooting hours. A skunk, cat, fox, rabbit and squirrel.

Congrats on the deer...

Sure rob, because counting vehicles vs chemicals on a steep country road is so similar . I personally, couldn't possible tell the difference in those words.
