warm has subsided most of my daytime movement on cams. I have a feeling some bucks will be fired up on scrapes this thurs through weekend and calling may pull them in. Were heading to PA tomorrow evening for youth antlerless rifle, bringing the crossbow thurs-sat, hopefully fill that then go out with crossbow and try to get my son on his first buck. Hes dead set on 6pt or better but we have a few wonky lookin bucks with weird racks I think hed take, pa youth dont have to follow antler restrictions. -
Not for me with a bow, I've taken a couple with rifle, under 100 yards and rock steady rest. They all folded. I regularly shoot my firearms out to 400 plus yards and know their and my capabilities. Right where the head meets the neck.

Looks like a warm spell coming the next few days, debating on taking my son down to pa sat for early MZ doe or just waiting for the next weekend for youth antlerless rifle. Might sneak out with the bow this evening. -

My sons patience ran out 13 minutes before the legal end of youth, does were over a knob in the field. Rainy and getting dark, We made the move and he 10 ringed a smaller doe at 150 yards. She ran right to us and died 50 yards away with both front shoulders essentially useless.- 508 replies

His patience is something I wish I had sometimes. Maybe he can teach me something! -

Windy as heck tonight, as soon as it died the deer poured into the field at 6:45. I was already down setting the blind up for youth hunt. With my vehicle running right next to it, deer were walking right to me. Maybe that will be our strategy lol -

I’d find a dog, 5-6” can be fatal or one lung and can go along way. Grid searching might have messed that up. But 1 lung pushing him with a dog is the best option -

Evening sit in 7s Saw a spike, 2 doe and 4 fawns. On my way outa there was 20 doe/fawns in the neighbors yards. Never seen this many fawns as this year. Ever doe has 2-3 it seems. Really need to thin some doe out, youth hunters gonna help out sat hopefully. -
I bought a marlin 336c 3030 for this year, paired with my howa .308 with hand loads I’ve got everything covered, browning .243 or Winchester 25.06 might make an appearance, and if the weather is terrible savage 6.5 creed that I won’t cry over if it gets soaked.
