11/11 pm 65 Brush blind above swamp in 3Rivs for 2 hours. Nada. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

11/11 am 62 Sat in the outer Hole stand for 2 hours. Tried to dodge the rain but pretty much rained the 45 minutes I was on stand before legal and the first hour after. My lightweight gear has passed its’ prime and lost any water resistance it has. It was warm enough I survived. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got in brush blind overlooking swamp on state. 64 warm warm Rain hopefully stopped for good, don’t feel like getting wet again today lol. Killing mosquitoes on Nov 11! Now if wind would quit changing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol I’m stupid and wet! Was hoping the rain would skirt us. Ya no. At least hypothermia is not likely at 62 degrees! Perfectly good tower blind at home smh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lol I shot the in betweener! I was hungry!

Just did one. Took me less than 2 minutes. Poof done. Easy peezy.

I still would have had to punch said thief. Hate thief's! Great detective work Biz. You now know who the dirtbags in the area are!

lol that 20ft XMas tree is more than its cracked up to be!! Dragging one of those outa the woods is not as fun as a 200 pound deer!! And a 20 ft tree has 2x as many lights to F up and 2x as many needles to drop. They do look good though!!

Take a break and get back with it! Your luck will turn!

He is one FAT OLD SLOB of a deer. And I mean that in a complimentary way!!

Yikes, at least you did not get hurt and didn't hit the buck with a poor shot due to the tree smack. I always worry about that with the CB! Had to make one hell of a noise!

My rant of the minute.....WHY IS THERE A LIMIT ON LIKES??????? $#%@$&@*% bullchit That said congrtaz on the nice buck hunterdan!! I have had it happen a few times during rut having killed a buck and have one or more come right in. Biz, love the Dad pic. My hunting mentor was my Grandpa. Loved every second hunting or fishing with that man!

Congratz on the Dandy buck! Your pictures are quality as well. I get your satisfaction for sure. Your land, your sweat equity in building the blind. It is an extra bit of satisfaction. It tastes better too!! Enjoy!

11/8 am 40 Out back in the far stand. We been hunting this place harder than I like but the deer are all over it. Sat 2.5 hours. BIL is in new ladder. He saw a doe and a fawn. At 7 I had a 5 point come right to me from behind and are berries 10 yards from me for 5 minutes. Right around 8 am I see one coming in from the neighbors ridge out front left. He is angling across my front and not gonna get closer. I see he is a bigger deer than the 1.5s and I thought he was one of the 8s he was moving right along and I didn’t get a great look as I named him shooter and was looking for a lane. I lined up on a lane in front of him and professionally fogged up my scope with a big exhale! Lol. He hit the lane and I grunted and he stopped. I put him between my 30 and 40 pins and let r rip. The scope view was terrible and I never saw the hit. I heard the thwack and he took off like a shot. Straight line 100 yards and outa site hmmm. I sat for an hour and that always sucks when your not sure of your hit. I found bright blood. No bolt and fair blood trail not great. I went 60-70 yards and found the bolt broke in half it went through but stopped at the fletching. I figured the blood should get better but nope. I was getting a little concerned. I still had a solid enough blood trail so kept going. I hit the 250 yard mark and he went over a 6 foot berm which drops into a 6 foot ditch/ crick. I get up the other side and it opens up for a couple hundred yards sloping up and at I don’t see him. Oh boy. I go another 5 steps and there’s a big depression and there he lay. Double lunged dead as a door nail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don good luck! What a beast! I wouldn’t have caught a wink! It is chilly this morn. 40 calm. Been in for over an hour. Sitting the stand we saw 5 bucks outa yesterday. With a hot doe or two around anything can happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll be in stand by 5:45am let the woods settle a bit. It gets light by 6:20 or so and legal is 6:49. I have not needed a flashlight to walk in for over a week lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

11/8 pm 73 I had the home wood loaded tonight. My BIL in the far stand. He passes a spike, then had 2 bucks chase 2 does by him and run all over no shot ops. A small 6 and a real nice 8. The 8 was trying to mount one of the does and she was not playing yet. My nephew was in the new stand no deer seen. My boy was in the tower. No deer seen. I was on field edge. As soon as my foot touched the ladder it made a little noise and jumped a deer in the thick 20 yards in jump. Didn’t go far. There was more than one in all the brush between this stand and the neighbors little farm. One blew three times way over there upwind? Then I could hear one walking real close all around on there. Finally saw it. Looked like a nice doe. She never came out. Before dark I could hear deer running farther back coming towards my cuts but never made it. We saw a dozen deer here today. No casualties though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
