    Weather, as in lots of rain, has cut down on my stand time this year. Something does just seem "funny" or "off" this year as far as deer sightings go so far? That will change over the next couple weeks! Prime time is upon us! Last year, because of bad shoulders, I wanted to shoot just one more deer with my bow. I did that. This year, there were times, even if a shot were presented, I'm not sure if I could have drawn my bow? I'll be happy to go out with the crossbow this weekend. I've yet to kill a buck with it, so game on!

    We're a little too far out. We get none here.

    Changed my Friday vacation day, to a Tuesday vacation day! Because of the monsoon coming for Friday. Will have this 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th to hunt! Then the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th off too. Following that, the opening week of firearms off. Hoping some serious chase action kicks in! Putting the bow away for this year. Trying for my first crossbow buck! At my age, I don't get to try for many 'FIRSTS' anymore...........grin

    With the wet and muddy conditions this year, I've worn my Muck Woodysport boots, for every hunt so far this season. Just add another pair of wool socks, and my feet haven't been cold once. That is saying something! As my feet are the first thing to get cold on me. Warm and dry, love those boots! At some point I'll switch over to the packs though. But for now, these Mucks have been doing ok.

    I know a couple guys who hunt that area. Both usually get a nice 8 or better out of there. Patience, Persistence, and Bottles of Sawyers is what it takes to be successful in there!

    That is a great deal!!! But if I come home with ANOTHER pair of hunting boots (gotta have over ten pair) my wife will throw me out!!! Got boots spread all over the house, from the garage to the basement!!! Hey!!! A guy just can't have too many hunting boots! Got a tractor supply on the way home.........hmmmm.

    I think my shoulders AND back, would hurt much WORSE, trying to skin and butcher from floor level !! Getting an inexpensive electric hoist like suggested above, will be so much easier on ya. Or call a buddy to help you get it hung up? Good luck crossbow hunting!

    You got this Mike! You really know your way around in the woods. I expect any time now, you'll be adding to the harvest thread! Good luck out there my friend.

    Saw nine deer this afternoon. Seven flat heads, and two small bucks. All were just feeding. No sighting of the big buck I saw trailing a doe yesterday. Off work on Friday. Hope to see more rut activity then. I'm pretty sure, where I was tonight, will be my opening day of firearms spot! My hunting partner built it for me back in September. Very large and thick swamp below, and a huge buckthorn bedding area on the other side. Got mowed trails and food plots in between. We were up there together and I pointed out a spot and said, right there would be the perfect spot for a stand! Next time I went up there, it was up! I have the best hunting partner! We rode the same school bus together! Have been best friends since 12 years old. Between us we've killed hundreds of deer. After every one, there was always a handshake and a bro hug. Our wives say we'd be lost without each other. They're right.

    I'm up above where I was yesterday. Last I saw of the buck and doe they were headed up here Lots of bedding close by. Wind is blowing pretty good as usual, but in my face. Jumped a big doe and two fawns, laying along the edge, on my walk in. Fells like deer thirty! I'm even off the ground!!

    Furnace service guy is wrapping up. Will be in a spot by 1:30 and sit to last light. Got deer! Saw my #1 yesterday trailing a doe, but way out of my bow range. Just need a little luck to make the harvest thread!

    Hands down, Partridge Run in 4-H. Nowhere near as many hunters as years past. Plenty of room to spread out too. There are some hidden spots in there, that are very good for various game.
  21. grampy
    There really is no difference that I can tell. Put them on your crossbow, sight it in, and kill a deer! You do your part, those heads will do theirs.

    In the 50+ years I've been stomping around the farm property, I've NEVER seen it this wet, this late in the season. My hunting partner who's lived on the farm his entire life, said the same thing. Many of the tractor roads are under water in the dips. Woods roads are so muddy they are almost impassable, for even 4WD, ATV's!!! Almost got stuck yesterday as the thick mud just bottomed out the frame! Normally dry hay fields, have pockets of standing water. The oaks and maples on south facing slopes, are still holding leaves. Buckthorn and underbrush bordering the swamps are still full with leaves too. And the swamps are all filled with water. All this does make hunting the rut different, if not more difficult. As some movement patterns have been altered. For us and the deer!
