Live From The Woods 2024-2025 Edition

[Hock3y24]

Another small 8 on my way out, multiple deer by houses still up and feeding. Gotta take my kid to sports

[landtracdeerhunter]

Had one of those mornings where I just couldn't sit still. That coupled with a bad wind direction for the blind. Deer were showing, by their action I stunk.

Gearing up for a trip to the private land. Good luck to everyone out.

In and up for my second short sit of the season.

Drove out to Rochester for my dentist appointment on Friday, and spent the next two days with my 7 year old grandson doing up the Halloween thing. Lol

Got back this morning and finished tucking in my bee hives, so now I can concentrate a little more on deer. 

Had a big doe about 30 yards away giving me the stare down on my way in. A lot of leaves fell since last week, and really opened up the woods. It’s overcast, windy, and chilly here in 7M.

Congratulations to you guys that got deer already!

The highlight of the sit so far was a turkey at 20 yards and tree surfing. These winds could stop at anytime. Hoping this last hr will produce some action.

At 5:30 I hear crunch crunch crunch and I stand up. I get my bow ready and here comes a healthy spike of about 12” each side, with the right side a small extra point, making him a 3 pointer.  He took his time coming up my footsteps all the way to my stand, and then passed me about 10yards.  First quartering towards , then broad side, and then quartering away as he passed me. Easy shot,  but I chose to pass. With it supposed to get to 70 degrees again this week, it was gonna either have to be a big buck or I was not shooting. 
 

Then I head more crunching and see a buck about same size as the first but with only one 4-5 inch spike on the right side. He stayed behind me about 40 yards and stood there for a long time watching the first spike. 
 

The first day spike went past, the second spike stayed there staring, and then down in the gully behind the single spike  I see another buck.  This one was a bit bigger a deer and turned out to be a narrow 6 pointer.  They both got antsy with the wind swirling and finally trooped off up the hill. 
 

So even though I did not shoot,  it was still a lot of fun.  It has been a long time since I saw three bucks together.  It looks like this may be a fun season.

The guys are still here. Few chases no really big bucks showing up. Friend shot this half rack yesterday. Xbow 20 yards heart shot. 

[landtracdeerhunter]

Had a shooter come out of the woods following a doe last evening. Stayed on the outside of the brush about 15 seconds. Quartering away.  Decided, not a good shot and let down. We know the deer well, 6 1/2 year old.

4:30 yesterday a “doe” comes trotting down a trail right below me and stops, talk about luck. I look thru the peep site at full draw and quickly notice 1 little spike antler. Surprisingly big body for a little spike. I let down, he caught the movement above him, went Oh Crap and bolted away.

[First-light]

Farmer just shut down for the night cutting my corn. Camera is lit up with all different bucks. They know the doe will be in there. Guess where I hunt tomorrow.

Deer are moving this morning. Cams are active with buck movement. Unfortunately I can’t get out today. Good luck shoot straight gentleman.

[landtracdeerhunter]

Live from the field: Morning and afternoon sits are on top right now. Going to start 11 to 2 sits shortly. I have good luck with those times,  for several years.  Bucks are in full checkout mode. Come in the field scattering the doe. We even had a lock down yesterday.

[greg54]

Up in stand in 9a, pretty good gusts of wind. My friend is on back side of property. Buck came past stand around noon. Hopefully we will see him make another trip thru.

[Four Seasons]

They are just starting to get up on their feet in daylight hours. I always stay out of the woods until Halloween or when I start getting mature target bucks on cameras.             Time to get after it after this crazy heat gets back out of here. 

[First-light]

Sat in cut corn yesterday nothing. I'm looking at the 10 forecast temps still slightly high with a lot of days with south winds. Times a changing and warmer days are here. Hope the deer evolve to it. lol

[Hock3y24]

730 saw a doe 100 yards out, 830 my target 10 pt followed, 845 nice 8 followed.

[landtracdeerhunter]

Great sit in the wind protected area.  Things are really cooking out here. Bucks are pushing the doe right out of the field, now.

Wind or no wind,  the boys are back in town.

[Hock3y24]

Saw two more bucks, nothin close or big, then saw a spike chasin two doe from the cabin.  Tomorrow is gonna be a great day. Taking the evening off for a party 

[Tughill Tamer]

With these cooler temps I'm heading out to the hill for an afternoon sit with higher hopes. Good luck to everyone out.
