    In my experience when the sun is shining I'm seeing deer. I want it below 50 and bright sunshine. Although I shot my biggest buck 2 years ago when it was snowing and sleeting and raining and then it would stop and start again.

    Always hunt the rain! My cameras are full of deer when it rains and after it stops. I always see deer in the rain, I hope for rain every time I go out hunting.

    I hang scent from day one. I had a 7 pointer run right up to it 2 years ago on October 4th. He didn't get any older. Although I don't use estrous scents, just straight doe urine.

    Party permits would have more then one persons name on the tag. So who ever was on the tag could fill the tag.

    To many people hunt off the pictures they see in July. A lot of times the deer change their movement based on the food and time of year. For example, we have corn on our property (most times not this year) and once it's cut they stop moving through one of our stands. The food source changes and they change their movement patterns. Is the stand dead, no, but it sure slows down. It's just a matter of learning your area and how the deer move. Right now though if you are seeing the deer 100 yards away, make the move if you can.

    Grey Deer

    wfmiller replied to the blur's topic in Deer Hunting

    I see gray deer a lot. One year we had a black one, very cool. Never seen one before or sense.

    That's not funny man, we had that happen to us during duck season in Canada years ago. The ducks kept coming our way and the guys down the river a ways didn't like it and slashed the tires on our boat trailer. Me I wanted to handle it my own way, which was to drag them out of their blind and drown them in the river, but the other guys stopped me before I could do it. We ended up calling the cops and they admitted to doing it because all the ducks kept going to us and they didn't like it.

    I had one stolen a couple years ago behind my old house. The neighbors took it I'm sure, they are anti-hunting freaks and hated that I hunted back there.

    This right here! Finally I'm not the only one saying that. You don't get big bucks from AR's you get them from age. Anyone that will spend a few minutes and research how you get big bucks would realize that.

    I get it now. Thanks for the help.

    Isn't the xbow either sex?
  12. wfmiller
    But you get a xbow either sex and an archery either sex. That's 2 bucks before gun season.
  13. wfmiller
    Can't anybody shoot 2 bucks before gun season? You can use your archery tag and then hunt with a xbow, so there's two.

    I don't see does that big every year, but I shot one about 10 years ago that dressed out at 172 pounds and one 3 years ago that dressed out at 153 pounds, and I saw another one that was easy over 200 pounds a few years ago. I wish I had a picture of the bigger one, she was huge!

    We have 4 on about 75 acres. We've been hunting there for years now and we know where the deer go and when, but we just like to see what's around.

    I love it when it rains! I see more deer moving in the rain then any other time, unless it's a downpour. If it is pouring and it is gonna stop at some point during the day I get out there before it stops, because I see deer moving every time it stops with the heavy rain.

    You need to learn a few things about crossbows.

    I tried one the last 2 years, even hung it in front of a camera, but have never seen a deer go near it. So I probably won't bother with it this year. I just hang some scent before I get in the stand which does seem to work. I 've had bucks run right up to the scent the last 2 years.

    My hang in the closet in the bedroom all year. During the season I just leave them in the laundry room. I just spray down with some scent killer when I get out of the truck, sometimes at least, most of the time I forget.

    We have one we call Lucky, he's actually the picture under my name. My dad missed him twice in one day and every time I see him he is out of range, except once and the road was right behind him, so no shot. We also have one called the Ghost, he only comes out at night. We have never laid eyes on him in the daylight.

    Oh believe me, I'm not passing on other deer to wait for him. We have pictures of like 6 other bucks, none close to this guy though. We know the 2 spots he beds in each day and we are working on a plan to be able to cover those areas. We also know our best chance to get him is when the rut hits, which for us it always happens the week leading up to halloween, at least that's when we see the most bucks moving around. Hopefully he will do something stupid that week.

    You got permission from the owners there's nothing he can do about it. Just stay clear of where he hunts and if he gives you any crap just be nice to him and go talk to the owners. Just ask them to have a word with him that they also gave you permission.
  23. wfmiller
    Already set up as close as we can get to him.
  24. wfmiller
    I have never seen him in the daylight. Even on camera the closest to daylight is one picture I have he came in at 7:52pm. I have several more pictures of him and several more bucks, but he is the best by far.
  25. wfmiller
    I call him the ghost. I have one picture from 2 years ago, he was a big 7. Last year didn't see him. This year, oh my!
