Swamp_bucks Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Getting dressed to head out. It’s a short drive and walk tonight but it’s going to take some time because I’m trying to sneak within 75 yrds of the main bedding and it’s very thick. It’ll be a lot of stopping and picking my route before I take another step. Will probably only get 2 sticks maybe 3 sticks high. I have a tree marked but we will see if I can get to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Just saw one on our way in but couldn’t get the tripod set up before she walked into woods. She’s eating acorns now just on neighbors hopefully comes back out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Got settled in about 15 min ago. A new ground blind in the oak trees 30 yards off a well used path. Will only have two quick spots for a shot if it all goes according to plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go out after dark, 8pm or so. Give that deer plenty of time, he won't be far IMO! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) So we got permission on a 12 acre piece inside a village that allows bow hunting for the first time this season. We have exclusive permission. Was pumped because it’s likely the best or arguably second best parcel in the village. Borders are clear and it’s isolated due to a hard break in the terrain. Found SIX tree stands. Some there well more than a year. Two doubles, a hang on, a single ladder, a LW climber, and a BOX blind. Multiple people based on stand styles and set ups. Had to LOL at that one. Set two cams to see what the scoop is. Just reaffirms the saying that a property is hunted whether you think it is or not. Owner confirmed again nobody else is to be out there. I know how they’re getting out there without him seeing and it’s a freaking operation going on back there. They’re crossing a major water feature. Major. Lost the coin flip to hunt with the kid. Partner has him set up using my Bog Pod on our plot. I expect a dead deer. I’m on the other side of the farm. Corn cleared out this morning. Edited October 8, 2022 by phade 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Agree'd. Have creek that runs along property,hoping he will end up right there.ive bumped em before and know how much of a pain it can be.hopefully have my hands wrapped around em this afternoon [mention=327]crappyice[/mention] will do,hopefully doesnt happen though!It's too early right?!?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Dang. I chased off a small doe walking up. Wide open. She came back and has been here with me for the duration. Kid and partner encountered a doe walking in, set up, and his shaking kept him from touching a round off. Lol. I remember those days! Wish the kid was here, this would be a gimme.

phade Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Tonight’s view. That strip is 40 yards. About 30 yards to the right is another like it but from the wood line to overlapping this one. Forces deer to not be able to see all the corner which is a low lying area. They have to navigate the opening to work around it and walk by two stands. The doe has been doing that a few times now.

phade Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Ouch. Sorry to hear. Honestly if it’s not going to rain I’d probably wait until morning. Unless he was visibly struggling bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn cleared out this morning. Yup that’s for sure. I lost my best spot in 3S this year (bow only). Awesome bucks for 2 weeks every November. Someone else’s trail cam was 70yds from me. I never saw another hunter and he likely never saw me. But we both hunted it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
