Fletch

Man it feels good to be out! Landed from Seattle at 9am, worked till midday, took a good 2+ hour nap and now in a tree down in the hole stand. 41 and light breeze. Would be a good night to hang up a deer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course I auto wake up to hunt. Only problem I m in Seattle and it's only 4am! This is gonna be a long day. Good luck all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

10/23 pm 50 Got out for the last 2 hours out back in the far stand. On the way in their were 3 flats in the small field off the tower blind.They caught a wind of me an eased out. Sat in the stand and man the wind died down,. It really dried up the leaves though so they were a bit loud walking. Just at last legal had the little button run in down the ridge in front of me and then soon followed by his tiny mom. They were under/around me for a while. At one point the little button was in the mock and jumping on his hind legs to get up into the licking branch. Then he fell over and got pissed and was kicking the dirt. I was struggling to not bust out laughing!! I stayed up well after dark to let them move outa range to not spook them. I then bumped one out in front of the tower on way in. All alone it was I grunted and scuffed around and such and it did not blow out so that worked. Off to Seattle in th am early. Be back Wednesday. Good luck out there.

I figure bouncing on the phone off and on keeps me stiller and on stand longer so it's a wash. For me anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had three in the small tower blind field on way in at 4. Deer noses amaze me! I see them and stop behind a tree none of the knew I was anywhere around. I just washed hunting clothes, took a scent free shower 10 min before heading out and sprayed cover scent. A slight wind shift and doe head snaps up they decide to mosey on outa the field. The wind is really dying down got up in the far stand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

10/22 am 45 Well this morning was a bit off. I did not even set alarm after seeing weather forcast, 100% rain all day and 20 mph wind. So dog wakes me up at 6:50 and it is not raining and not windy. My bro had texted a few times sayin he was in stand. I said what the heck and was in my far stand out back at 7:30. It started raining but not bad and wind was not bad either. I notice my mock had been hit since I left last night, hope not at 7:15 before I got there! At 8 am had two come out on my right. A button and the smallest doe. I could not talk myself into shooting her as in I would get about 20 pounds of meat. She moved downwind and started getting nervous and had me froze standing. I then hear a grunt behind me and crashing and here come a buck chasing the button buck all over. He stopped 12 yards behind me and he was a 6 point 1.5 year old. He finally ran them across the creek and outa site. About a half hour later I had a buck cross behind me, it might have been the same one. I figured I would see how he would react to a light rattle and he did not like that at all! It started raining pretty good at 10 so I got ready to get down and had a major mishap. While lowering my bow the wet rope slipped and the bow took a nice drop then the rope ran out and the bow popped off the rope and fell the last 5 feet to the ground. When I got back to the yard I shot it and it was all hogged up. I spent an hour getting it back dialed in. Man that was close to a major fail. The wind is crazy now, hoping to get out tomorrow but depends on wind. I head to Seattle Monday morning of course Monday and Tuesday look fantastic!

Well that sucks! Lol Quick run to the hardware!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just had the same buck cut across behind me. Not a shooter so wanted to see how he would react to a light rattle. I would guess from his reaction he has gotten his ass kicked lately! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well got in late due to listened to weather and did not set alarm. Dog woke me up at 6:45 and it ain't raining my brother had texted and in his stand. I say heck and get to my stand and setup by 7:30. Course now raining again. 8 am have have a button and the smallest doe in the world come into me real close, I am literally betting she is not 95 pounds wet. She is broadside downwind and alert so I am froze. Then I hear grunt behind me and all hell breaks loose. A 6 came in and chased that poor button around for 5-6 minutes. I might stick it out for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

10/21 pm 52 About a rerun of yesterday. Rained all day and about 3:30 it stopped and radar looked safe for a couple hours so off i went. Hunted out in the far stand out back again for 1.5 hours. On the way in I was easing in, it was quiet. I rounded a corner in my trail into a woodlot and i was focused in front where I have seen deer a lot, not to the right where I almost never have. Well I catch something out of the corner of my eye and freeze. I am in the wide open and I see two yotes with their noses down in the leaves side by side broadside. If i would have noticed a step or two earlier I may have been able to put one arrow through both the way they were lined up! Unfortunately as soon as I stopped one looked up and did not like me and trotted away. The other stared my way a minute more and followed. They were only 25 yards from me so I went over to see what they were into. There were a bunch of fallen berries of somekind so I imagine that is what they were eating. Did not see any deer.

Have fun man!! We will be as wet as you tomorrow!!

Well that was interesting! Saw a break and n the rain, I hope. So sneaking out to my stand and round corner and take a step or two and catch something outa the corner of my eye and freeze. Two yotes side by side 25 yards from me. One noticed me right after I stopped. I was froze in the wide open. They trotted off. Man if I noticed them a step earlier I coulda run one arrow through the two of them! I went over to see what they were picking at and all I could find was a bunch of fallen berries. Hope I run into them again with a broad head or a bullet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You'r right it is easy for me to tell you yes!!

I don't really want to pay for a hunt. I may pay money to go hunting but I really have not been into the guided stuff. I travel to hunt with friends so I have spent gas and out of state tags and hotels....Been to Idaho on a friends 700 acres twice, down to Georgis pig hunting. I am going gator hunting next year in Georgia. So I may have spent $1000-$1500 a couple times.

10/20 pm 55 I had my eye on the radar most of the day so this afternoon I saw a good 3(hopefully) hour gap in the rain. I made it out to my far stand out back for an hour and a half. Leaves have been falling like crazy and I can see farther every trip in. About 5:30 I caught a flash and had 3 flatheads running at me off to my right. They passed by 50-60 yards out running and stopped after a ways in the brush. They ran into my downwind and were a bit hinky. The walked back up my right side but the doe was too far out at 48 yards when she hit the lane. They wandered around out front to the right of me for a bit and wandered off. I keep having deer run in! It really is not turning into good shot ops! This forcast is piss poor. Almost thinking of heading north to rifle hunt instead of watching it rain here.

I have had the nickname Fletch since my mid teen years, my best bud started calling me that and it stuck for the last 3+ decades. I also had the nickname before the movie came out, never did get any royalties!! It is all my friends call me and their families. A lot of people don't even know my real name...At work and my mom call me Steve. Kinda funny when some work peeps meet freinds and one of them goes....Fletch did .... and the work peeps go who the hell is Fletch and some friends go who the hell is Steve!!

Three flatheads just came running by me 60 yards out of course into my downwind. They then turn around and ease back past me unfortunately too far out at 48 on the doe. Stinkin running deer and it isn't from me but is not making good shot ops!! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Break in the rain, 56 and light breeze here and there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking at the frogcast of rain all weekend here I almost am thinking of just heading north, sleep in the truck if need be lol.

You two had a heck of a successful day!! Kudos!

Supposed to rain for the next 4 days here, depending on how that is....I was going to take off tomoorw afternoon and hunt right through the weekend.
