9 doe last night. Safety off and almost took the largest but it's still too early for doe meat. Wimped out again this morning but I think I really needed that sleep. Enjoying an afternoon sit
-
Very true. You never know. I've had some wall mounters on trail cams at 1pm
-
That's sort of an odd hunting time...
-
Last week of bow it started for me. Plenty of chasing prior though
-
Not if you're gorging

I thought I'd unknowingly used my last pack of hand warmers yesterday. Then found a pack in the bottom of one of my bags. That's what I was thankful for on thanksgiving
-
Love it!
-
At most places a cc is quicker than cash now.
-
How much damage? Sorry to hear...
-
Fresh powder. Absolutely beautiful morning. Only one thing could make it perfect!
-
Too much human activity right now. Im wasting my time...
-
Totally Agree. I love just being in the woods. Even better to see fox, owls, piliated woodpeckers etc. I pass on more doe and small bucks them I can count. It's never the numbers for me. It's the story behind the hunt that I love.
-
Exactly what I did although I got halfway through a regular cup before I chickened out. Sleep did not return
-
Geno. They are bad girls
-
Wind and cold this am and I wimped out again. In the stand now for a mid morning sit. Have had some good activity during these hours on my cams so we'll see. Other hunters getting down might help too.
-
Passed on a lone doe. I've had such shitty luck with doe this year. They've brought in little to no bucks. Going to probably take the next one I see though. My bow 8 point was with 4 other bucks haha.

Dang. I was hoping you landed a nice cougar

I thought you were in your 30's?

Lol @ picking and choosing laws...
-
Wimped out and lost the fight to the warm bed this am. Enjoying a snowy sit this afternoon

well said hillbilly. Only you as the hunter know when you've crossed the line from ethical useful hunting to wasteful killing. The sticking point in the topic is always population control. Honest question: would shooting a deer in the woods and leaving it to rot in an overcrowded area better than risking that deer causing a fatal motor vehicle accident? Or what about ruining a farmers crop? A lot of what if's in that question and the only point in my opinion where someone not killing for food might be ok. I'm not sure how I feel.

I dont feel my $10 to doe tags are a waste if I dont use them. Keeps me in the woods and I only rarely fill them, but the cost goes towards conservation and that's always been ok with me. I don't feel the need to fill them just because I paid my money. people hunt differently so I wont criticize if you're eating them all. But me personally, it's not about the number of deer, it's the quality and sometimes I do not meet my standards but need to fill the freezer. As long as I have 2 in the freezer I'm good.

104 is usually littered. not very many this year. could be they're picking them up quicker though. Thew few I saw weren't there for long. But yeah the ruts been a little strange this year. I blame the weather.

lol aaron it's cool. You bump it everytime you post. so here's a free bump for you

cant stand smoking. it's less about how i hate it myself and more about the stink during hunting season. during gun season we all meet at my uncles barn and few family members smoke like chimney's. is what it is, but i'm anal about scent. Not so much during gun but i hate smelling like i've been out in a bar when i've only really been in the woods.
