Live From The Woods 2024-2025 Edition


Recommended Posts

warm has subsided most of my daytime movement on cams. I have a feeling some bucks will be fired up on scrapes this thurs through weekend and calling may pull them in. Were heading to PA tomorrow evening for youth antlerless rifle, bringing the crossbow thurs-sat, hopefully fill that then go out with crossbow and try to get my son on his first buck. Hes dead set on 6pt or better but we have a few wonky lookin bucks with weird racks I think hed take, pa youth dont have to follow antler restrictions.

High expectations for that first buck but have to give him Kudos for wanting one of the best. Not a better feeling when you harvest a deer alone, add in a top of the class animal and it doubles…Take a mature target buck one on one and it’s out of this world. The best thing is that he has plenty of time to make any choice he decides but that first one will be special regardless what he drops the hammer on.

We had a good afternoon. Saw a bunch of does. Had two bucks come into my stand. Young ones still hanging together. Shooter buck just out of range. Big Doe and fawn at last light. She is becoming a problem blowing up the woods. lol

Hunted at Geneseo in the afternoon  with a son and grandson . Saw 3 doe and 2 different fox while I was sitting in my stand . It was very windy and cold . My son called me at 5:30 and said he had hit a doe using his recurve bow and single bevel arrow but hit it back a ways and needed help tracking . It went quite a distance on the neighbor's property but finally found it .
