Live From The Woods 2022 - 2023 Edition!

Just got back from scouting a piece of permission ground.  Customer owns 80 acres.  Mostly beef pasture that hasn't been used in a year.  Not much to funnel them, but pretty easy to observe from the high ground.  It's only 5-6 minutes from my house.  We'll see.  I picked about 30 deer ticks off my clothes before I got in the truck.  That's a good sign, right?

That means either there's a lot of deer and ticks, or even the ticks can't find any deer!

I know. Honestly I don't even mind the ball busting if it's all in good fun. What I don't need or appreciate is the negativity from deer jizz jockeys who are just straight up spiteful and negative for no reason. that's what got me going. 

That right there was some funny stuff! The jockey part, I mean.

Ticks have been bad by me this year need to treat my clothes again. Had one stuck on my arm and another one on my back yesterday.

I wore work clothes (unsprayed) instead of hunting clothes (sprayed) and I should have known better.  Some of the reed canary grass was almost head high.  Permethrin works.

If only the camera I had pointed right at this worked. Very fresh so I changed plans.

Back in the Buckform watching some early feeders from the herd   Wish it was 20 degrees cooler but poke and hope never fails well unless your in a cheap pool float  

[chrisw]

Another decent buck just came across the Rd and went into bedding, he also did not care about grunts...

Had a good buck come out of neighbors corn with a doe into my woods. One side of his rack is whack due to injury on opposite rear leg. He didn't like calls. Probably knows he can't win a fight with his bad wheel.

Little bb has entered or maybe exited the fray. He’s strutting his stuff behind me gurgling grunts and rubbing his head on the saplings.  Me thinks one of the bump and run bux pushed him away from mama.

Was sitting just upstream of the mouth of a very small draw.  I saw a sapling on the hill right above me moving around.  I got ready and the deer walked down the hill right to me.  I stayed extremely still and squinted my eyes.  When it turned broadside at 8 feet, I took my shot.  Very exciting!!  I heard some splashing…hopefully from a beaver and not the deer crossing the creek.

In the photo, I’m pointing my bow where I was sitting…I’m standing where the deer walked down the hill…the deer stepped over the log to the right of the yellow beach branches (the front of my blind).  Unfortunately I wasn’t nocking my stone point…was using a two blade zwickey with my selfbow.

Had a stud of an 8 come through 15 minutes ago, 50 was as close as he got. Gotta move a bit further uphill in the AM.

Only the button buck deer from the stand, down in the here on my way out counted 14 doe and no bucks. It seems as we’re not quite there yet here.

Success!  From my angle, the shot went in low and out high.

Heck yeah!!!  That's when shootin' was shootin'!

Great short hunt tonight, saw 2 small bucks and a doe. I was drawing on the doe when the smaller of the two bucks came in and chased her off. He grunted and her and chased her in a small circle she took off and he stayed…
