Nice morning sit, saw multiple doe running around but no bucks chasing them. Already looking forward to the afternoon sit. Might hit a tributary for trout in the meantime.

I’d say create a new account. Call it “EnormousBuckDown”. Good luck to anyone up and at it this morning.

First solo sit of the year this evening. One lone small doe strolled through at dusk. Surprisingly quiet. I’ve been hunting a bit in a double stand with my 5 year old boy, so anything sounds quiet after that.
I heard reports of lots of buck activity in the neighborhood (Finger Lakes) today including a big buck shot chasing a doe at 11am today.

Five mornings in the woods, no birds seen, zero gobbles. Sure is a beautiful day though.
-
Hunted from 10-12 today close to home on a property that I normally only deer hunt. No gobbles, no sightings. I did find a very well used dust bowl full of feathers. I’m going to put a camera there before this afternoon’s rain, should have some intel by next week.
-
A comedy of errors for me this morning. Overslept, nature’s call, gun jammed, no gobbles 5am-Noon. Still a great morning in the woods.

Spooked a deer on the way in. Tracks all over. Old scrape just opened back up. Wind is terrible, I think my scent has been blown in all four directions already.
Quick hunt before work. It’ll have to be a nice one that gets me to shoot before this warm stretch.

Plenty of deer out tonight in 8N, just not the right ones.
-
I saw a ton of deer tonight, probably 15+. No good bucks within range.
-
I saw seven deer on the way to the stand. That’s a good sign.
-
It was a very quiet morning in my woods in 8N. I saw some chasing activity on the next property over, couldn’t tell how big the buck was. With two doe in the freezer, I’m looking for a buck.
-
Lots of deer on their feet this morning. I took a drive and saw one mature buck chasing two does in a field, another two bucks cruising. I hope to make it out this afternoon for one last bow hunt.

Rolled up to my best lease this morning and found out they are starting to log it today. They aren’t taking a ton of trees but are clearing a lot of the thick bedding I have there which is what makes so good… ugh. Every year one of our leases gets destroyed and it’s always around prime time. Hopefully the landowner will have some sympathy and give us another piece
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI’m unfamiliar with how deer leases work. Shouldn’t there be a provision in the document to avoid such disturbances during deer season?

8N, watched bucks all morning long from my home office. Beautiful 10pt wouldn’t leave a small doe, chasing her all over the place. They ran all over my yard but it was too quiet to sneak out for a shot.
-
Planned to hunt for the first time in a week, but I woke up to a terribly sore back. Went outside to check the wind and spooked a bunch of deer in the backyard.
I’ve seen two giant bucks midday in the last two days, I hate to miss a day in the woods. Ibuprofen, give me wings.

Lots of action this evening. Had a 2.5 year old eight point come to about 40 yards. Two smaller bucks came through after that. Spooked deer walking up the hill and more waking back down. Finally have a pic of a shooter in daylight (first light, but better than midnight).
-
Live from the home office - deer are everywhere this morning. I counted 12 including a decent buck that marched right down my driveway at first light.
I’ll be out this afternoon.

Not a bad morning, 2 for dinner, threw a bunch back.
Nice fish! Is that a rainbow and LL? I was following the gauge on that creek last week, it hit 7000cfs. I’m hoping to hit it once or twice this fall.
-
The sixth small buck of the morning came running through at 9:42. A small six point. I think I’ll stick it out a bit longer.

Four small bucks so far, all but one caught my wind but didn’t spook to badly. Seems like a bucky day.
A late relative who mentored me hunting always said that if there’s one day he could pick to hunt, it would be holloween.

I left the drying basement to sit for a couple hours this evening. Saw four different bucks. Blew it on the largest buck I’ve ever had within bow range. All of the sudden I heard a bleat and saw a very large buck chasing two does straight up the side of the gully toward my stand. They were moving quickly and I was unprepared. Didn’t get busted but didn’t get a shot.
They came from the last place I expected them. -

First time I got myself in this situation. Shot a small buck, and tracked it for way longer than it should have been. Bits of lung, bubbly blood. The shot was quartering away. Tracked for 650 yards, with copious blood, ending with the deer tumbling into the creek, which was very high because of recent rains. I had to wade downstream - super sketchy- for another 150 yards to find him beached up on a shallow gravel bench. A one-lung hit.

What a storm. My basement flooded last night. Pump just could not keep up and we had to call the fire department at 1am. I’m just hoping that the furnace isn’t shot. I’ll be hunting the basement stand all weekend.
I saw a lone buck cross the field headed for my stands this morning, feels like salt in the wound!

Spooked a big buck on the way in, had a doe approach as I was getting dressed at the ladder, and saw two small bucks so far. Great night.

Saw some chasing today from the stand. All on the neighbors, none near me. Eating my lunch at 1:00 I looked out my kitchen window to see this Button Buck.
