Swamp_bucks

Ground hunt on stateland this am. Going back to the same orchard I was in friday hoping to catch some coming off the private meadows.

Congrats didn't waste anytime this year. Couldn't be happier for you. Now get that buck.

This was on private land Morning hunt was a bust spooked something very big going in. Weather man got the forecast wrong so I got wet. This is one piece of private I hunt so I asked the owners where they've been seeing them. So I setup for the PM hunt. PM hunt. Didn't have any action untill 520. When I had a doe clear a 15 acre meadow in 2 seconds not sure what spooked her. About 10 minutes later I had a fawn come in and feed for 10 mins. About 6 I had another doe work through the only thing that saved her was a branch. She ended up feeding out into the meadow. Then 630 came and I could here deer working their way towards me. When all of a sudden I catch a blob of white in the brush. All I could think was that piebald buck. After 5 mins of trying to see if it was him I see deer walking towards me from his spot out steps a basket 4 that I chose to pass and a doe. Well right behind them at 30 yards was that little piebald buck. I was so busy watching him that the doe and 4 point caught me moving. It was well worth possibly missing my chance at a deer just to be able to see that buck. If he comes in again with that doe she won't get lucky next time. Be back out in am Also found my first rub and little scrape of the year

Sit number 2 on stateland was friday nothing bust a wash out in the morning

First congrats to all that took a deer today. Morning hunt was a bust spooked something very big going in. Weather man got the forecast wrong so I got wet. This is one piece of private I hunt so I asked the owners where they've been seeing them. So I setup for the PM hunt. PM hunt. Didn't have any action untill 520.

Go figure bright sunny skies now oh well always tomorrow

I tried sticking it out in the rain until 830 when the 3rd down pour and wind showed up. Get back to the parking lot and I see 5 doe bedded 40 yards away from my truck on private just watching me. I did have an unknown walk by at 6 no idea what it was could just make out its silhouette

Up getting ready. Hoping for a fat doe to stroll through.

I believe i read somewhere if you use a wire less camera to move your hunting position to harvest a buck and its big enough to make p&y it won't be accepted anymore. Pretty much can't get a picture and go oh shit and get to the next tree stand its heading to. Like I said I heard this is p&y new rule. Me personally I don't really care either way still have to make the shot when or if the deer gives a chance.

Hunt number 1 in the books. My first choice had someone parked there so I went to spot number 2. Oaks didn't seem to be dropping acorns yet on that ridge. I didn't see anything but it was good to be out and get some quirks worked out of my mobile setup.

Nice coat on him

Nothing tonight I'll be sitting between a pond and apple orchard in the morning

Ears need to get calibrated to stop perkng up everytime one if these squirrels mive.

Old timer beat me to my spot went to a different oak ridge.

Getting ready to pick up my little one drop him off and hit the woods for my first sit

A ton of deer on there feet this morning in the middle of fields. Can't wait to get out

ITS HERE GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Nephew said the same thing 2 years ago. Then he shook so bad the spike saw him and continued for 45 mins. It was great enjoy that time with him.

Yep just posted in it.

Good luck to those going in the am.

Your more responsible than most people. Good for you for making that decision. Deer will always be there anyway you can drop that bow down to 40? Maybe just that 5lbs can help you? Hopefully you can get out before gun.

Good luck

Got mine for the first time 2 days ago.

Just did my last pack check should be all good to go. Now time to wait and see what I forgot to bring.

28 yards, hopefully 24hrs from now it will be a nice fat doe I'm shooting at
