Well I have my blanket de-scented....a new book...snacks and drinks were already taken down last week...cell phone charged and rain gear all set...the Lurelogic has new batteries(remote scent disperser)....So will head out about 10-11 tonight set Put the Lurelogic in a tree...remote works up to 50yrds.....I will set cell alarm and plug in head phones...Get a good nights sleep and when the time is right and I see deer will set off the spray to hopefully bring them in....All the guys around me will be hitting the woods and that will just get them moving to me ...I hope
-
PS...don't forget to sign it ...for all you LT holders ...got your sharpeners....dental floss to tie off the bung....extra knife...mag light...and don't for get the cough drops or Werthers....Have fun be safe and bring home the back strap
-
Sounds to me like your all full of "IT"...hahaha soooo..... While you all are wiping your tooshes...I'll be making sure I didn't forget my back tag.....
-
Very good if it does what it's doing today....rain hard....then let up for a half hour or so....rain hard.....they have to eat and will be up and hanging close to the best food source...even if the winds stay steady...they'll take full advantage of the lulls in rain..... JMO
-
Good advise.....also seeing we all strap our selves to the tree...remember even a hard maple can have the top blow out of it when it looks perfectly healthy....happens on our place a lot...which is why I've started building raised blinds....be careful...Good Luck
-
Thanks for the catch...lol...hey...the high winds kept me up half the night....lol Figures...I edit to correct spelling and missed that....lets try again

I love it ..the first week for me is watching anyways ....with a occasional bonus shooter ...for me...showing up... With the nasty weather coming through Saturday...... I know I can sit back relax and watch movement in the usual calm spells in days like that...Then Sunday when things calm down after the last several bad days they will be up and moving in earnest...woods are quiet from the rain...leafs have covered scrapes and they'll be out marking territory again...no problems
-
Bunch of guys went to the Legion for "lunch" after hunting in the morning...came back to do another drive and a buck ran between two of the "responsible drinkers"....ones now dead No.... if you can not wait until after the hunt is over for the day...just like going to work...you may have a problem there......guns and booze don't mix.... no matter how you spin it.... IMO

all this talk is making me one HAPPY camper...
-
I do and they can be a blast...but rarely take the doe out now...it spooks other doe in the area....but the buck everything approaches...I have the bobbin head one but my first were Renzos....I sometimes use all three...or just the bobbin with a bobbin head turkey decoy...that set up has actually worked the best for me I made a cover for mine to hide and secure head and tail from moving...and made a strap that goes around belly with a shoulder strap.....that way I can carry it in fully set up to eliminate noise...at camp I just cover and lay it on it's side at night...to hunt in the morning...can't do that here at home...I've caught guys wandering around with flash light and no recovery permission
-
Yep....I have two miles of mowed trails and it doesn't make a difference what time or what trail I decide to use...I'm always kicking up deer....When I built this shooting house/blind I did so with the intent to be able to stretch out and rest the night....not having to kick ...disturb...make aware of any movement to any animal whether it be deer.... turkey...yote....or raccoon....thats why I insulated the floor with 3in Styrofoam and the walls with 3-4 layers of corrugated card board...and installed blk out curtains over the screens and installed battery lights...when the chair pad isn't in the chair it acts as a floor mat....I get to sleep in when the weathers not so nice and still hunt... they are my bad weather blinds...I have open stands and blinds near them for good days
-
Well if it's like it is right now....high winds and gusts ...rain....I'll be out at about 10pm....with the cell phone set for 5a.m. or....out at 5am and waiting till sunrise
-
Phade ...actually this is in the middle of our woods....on the corner off two of many trails I mow...and at the head of a gully....there are two scrapes farther back of this trail and when I went to return the card there was another new scrape not far from where that first buck stood....but that one had an over hanging branch that was worked.....This is the most activity as far as scrapes I've ever seen on the property and there are NO rubs any where...those usually show up really late and in gun season....go figure
-
I made a scrape line and a couple of weeks later I had deer scrapes showing up near the ones I made...one was a good sized one so I moved a cam....Well not what I hoped for...small 4 and 6 walked by but the doe went to scrape on a regular bases....
-
Thanks G-Man....just a thought that came to mind....in these temps ...If I were to score...It would be in a cooler and on it's way back home to be put in the frig...so I'd be safe ...hunt done ....during gun season when the guys are at camp....all deer are dragged back and gutted behind camp not in field....but I don't have the ATV's usually and when I do the deer has to be loaded on the rack ....I'm strong but not that strong ...thus field gutting

I have 3 new scrapes now all with in 30yrds of my new watering hole...cams showing a lot of doe hitting them and 2 young buck 4-6.......lots of mid day activity,,,,my open blinds are all set and my enclosed ones are ready to use...They have been hammering the elder brush at the crate blind....looking good for a doe I think
-
Went to camp and kicked out a bear when I went to check my favorite stand.....he's much bigger than the last two years and been a bad boy for the gentlemen farmer down the road now has only 2 hives...down from 4 and a new electric fence around them...so I know a honey burn should work....but got to thinking...hunting by my self...... I gut my deer out in the field where shot....did so with the last doe I took at that stand....a tad scary in the dark....but gut piles never seem to bother the deer and I routinely hunt over them the next day...deer visit them often... So here's the legal ?...if I shoot and gut a dee.... hunt that stand again and a bear comes by...is it illegal to shoot it?...even though a gut pile is just a part of hunting?

16 days post but much of the point there flew over more than a few heads...this is squarely looking at the DEC So not only does the ridiculous ppl stuff start but the dogs they own bologna hits full fever...last week our dog was attacked on the porch when I let her out...Thought it was a yote in the dark as it ran down the steps ...but nooo It came back a few days later to attacked her again !! and clearly a golden retriever with a red collar...and it would have been a dead dog had I gotten to the shot gun quicker....I've been trapped in my stand 2x's by dogs and lit into the owners instead of shooting ...called the DEC more than once ...been sent to the hospital gone to court ...had the dog warden tell me just shoot them...and last year as I draw on a beautiful 8pt the woods erupted and this guy came chasing a herd of doe and fawn.... tongues hanging out past my stand ..taking the buck with them...I yelled and he eventually he circled around to coming under my stand... Wanting the owner whom I've personally warned several times.... to get a hefty fine.... I shot it with the cell phone.... then very agitated called DEC...2 officers arrived and said cell pic wasn't good enough I needed better proof...but they would talk to the guy....Well I've gotten personal sightings...and tails on cam ...but pulled card today...ARE YOU WATCHING DEC for your officers saw this dog when they came up....This was not far from our goats ...near a stand and in one of my bow plots....So much for your warnings...so I'm telling you...notice the date...the pointed ears and big tail....with a red lens this certainly will look like a yote to me...if at this time.... I will defend my self and live stock...thanks for the help
