Good luck to those out tonight.  I’m going back to same spot tomorrow morning as I was this morning.  Hoping for one of the big ones to cruise by. However that big 6 comes back through it’s going to be tough to let him go a second time. 

[G-Man]

Well took the mower for a ride at noon and blew all the leaves off  severl logging roads to stands  make it a lot quieter to walk in to the stands this weekend for the guys..   one guy saw 3 little buck and 2 doe this am ..passed the  bucks at 15 yards and 2 at 5 yards...1.5 year olds...

Play the thermals.  They should pull harder than the wind is going. Once that sun dips and you can have a slope of a hill to your back side the thermals should pull down the hill and away from expected deer travel.

Just watched a buck chase a doe on main drag in Avon and doe tried jumping over a car and stumbled over the roof. It’s on !

My land is flat as a pancake. There isn't more than a 2ft rise across the whole place. Lol

I'm eyeing one stand that is ok for a N and W wind so might end up there if I go. Hopefully a successful morn will make the decision for me.

Moved a cam today and made a mock scrape. Left a little bit of Old Man grampy Pee to really get em thinking! Or maybe laughing? We'll see.

Been a few nice bucks killed on this ridge.

[First-light]

So I let that 8 pt walk last night. Go to the same stand 4:00. Put out a wick of Golden Estorous. 10 minutes later a shooter comes walking in the same way the 8 pt did last night. Stops 20 yards behind a tree I draw and my finger hits the release. Arrow flies out at 1/4 draw bangs against a tree. He stops knows something is up and drifts off. Wish video was better but he was a big one. Way outside his ears when walking away.

Do you have a ground blind to pop up and sit in?

I took a day off and snuck into a stand where thick brush meets open woods. 32 F to start, light winds and dry leaves so I had to slowly tip toe the last 200 yards. Shortly after getting settled into my stand I caught glimpses of a nice buck with a doe back in the brush. He grunted a few times and I hear branches braking as the headed away from me.

I had a few doe and a 4 pt pass by around 9:45 and saw a couple small bucks toward the end of the day. I didn't hear or see any chasing. The light fickle winds tipped off a bunch of deer of my presence I'm sure but it was a good sit. I'm hoping the winds will stay out of the south for this mornings sit. 33F here in Livingston county. Good luck to all.  >>>--------->

Up getting ready.  6pt I passed yesterday was on camera last night again. Also think there’s a doe coming into heat because she hung around the scrape for 2hrs last night. 

[Robhuntandfish]

 

Nope didn't put up any of those this year. Not a big fan of them. I feel like a fat guy in a little coat everytime

Misses and I are up getting around,  this will be our 3 rd sit. We’ll be ramping up our effort's these next few weeks. Pulled the camera cards last Saturday and the wide 6 is still alive from last  year. 
First picture is him last year ,second one is same camera same tree he’s probably 60 yards from camera vs first he’s 30 .  so he’s grown some since . And this small 9 is new . Good luck to all.

In and on my 3 mile walk to my stand

[mattypotpie8S]

Heading in, good luck everyone.

[doebuck1234]

Had to stop for a little 4pt cruising on way here.frosty start!

[Nomad]

Finishing coffee in the truck listening to Led Zep . 32 , little wind at all . Seen a few in yards and one big one just hit at the end of the Bay bridge on the way here . I was on the way here , I don’t know where he was headed .

[Swamp_bucks]

Up and in. Camera went off as I was hiking back and that doe was back on the scrape. Hoping something is in tow in 30mins.

 

good luck to those out

[E J]

In for first sit of the season. Bumped a single deer right under stand. Hardly a breeze.

[stubborn1VT]

Live from the couch/picture window.  My lower back is still all jacked up. Frosty and nothing moving yet besides our grumpy horses.  Not even a chickadee.  This frost would make a cruising buck easy to spot.

Good luck to everyone who is out.  I will be out there for the PM, one way or another.  

[johnplav]

29 degrees and almost no wind.  Pretty much buck only today… although there are 2 big old nasty does in the area that might get an arrow given the chance.  Good luck everyone!
