Cory Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Not a damn thing today. Perfect conditions to be out all day. I’m thinking we have entered the lockdown phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 My son really wants to bring the buck decoy tomorrow, so I’ll be pulling the tarsal glands from my buck out of the freezer and hauling it out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Hillbilly Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Up and in. Very windy and cool in 7M. Can’t hear a thing over the roar of the wind through the tree tops and their creaking, squeaking, and groaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 (edited) Just in at 57 yards . Edited November 10 by landtracdeerhunter 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Hillbilly Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 At 7:30 I had a nice little 8 point poking along and stopped 30 yards downhill from me. Slightly quarter too but I’m not confident to shoot 30 without being level with the deer. So I took my chance to see if he would turn and come up the logging path towards me, or pass behind me. He chose to go behind, and slowly picked his way along but seeming focused on what he was doing. At an even steeper downhill angle he was quartered away at 27 yards. I even stepped down a rung on my ladder to try for a better angle. I steadied myself and as he passed behind a big tree, when he stepped out there were several small branches I worried might mess up the shot so yet again this season I passed. Moments later here came two nice does from where he went. They stood about 5 yards from the base of my tree so I couldn’t do anything without getting busted. They got nervous and walked off from where they came. I just did some more pruning and now have much clearer shot to that trail. And for the record, I tried to grunt at him when he was waking off and he paid it no mind. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 It opened up this morning. Had a few nice big bucks on cam and I saw 2 shooters today. Had all I could do to not take a big doe. They were under me at 10 yards. 3 big does and 3 yearlings. Shooter buck was close so I held back. Next few days should be good! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 (edited) The live doe decoys continue to work. Bucks are acting whipped. Run through the mill. Not as excited as they once were. Winds got them a little more spooked too. Edited November 12 by landtracdeerhunter Added extremely valuable content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted Wednesday at 11:52 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:52 AM Yesterday knocked the crap out of me. Thought I would be able to get up again for a 2 hr hunt didn't happen. I'll hunt the next three afternoons and hang up the bow. Except for that day of Oct 8th seeing that bachelor group of 5 bucks its been pretty quiet. Good luck guys!

First-light Posted Wednesday at 11:24 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:24 PM Few small bucks tonight thats it. Plan is to hunt Thursday afternoon and do Friday morn and afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted Thursday at 02:23 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:23 AM It always been difficult to hunt an East wind here. It swirls and shift direction quite often. The deer have never trusted it in the past here. Today was no exception. Those that did,, were nervous , very flighty, and didn't feed long. No bucks today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted Thursday at 12:24 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 12:24 PM These shooters are showing up farther away now, like 100 yards and more. Not time to hang up the crossbow just yet. Doe in the field at 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
