I've been deer hunting for 6 years and this is my first deer. I never gave up and finally accomplished a long time goal..I've been hooked but now it's an addiction

That's my fourth Buck passed up. A 2 year old with long spikes cruised by at 7am and hung about eating acorns for a while. Not the deer I'm looking for right now. Haven't had this many Bucks under my stand ever in one season. Definitely setting a new personal best this year. Surely it's only a matter of time before a big 10 walks by !?

 

No evening sit for me with the warm weather. I will be trying a new spot on Saturday morning though. Stand has been set all summer but not hunted yet.

Just got back from a sit on the new place...I walked the entire lower and upper road with a drag then went to the balsm cool part of the woods because of the heat...Wow and what a difference the temps were there to here...here I'm actually cold low 60's...anyways the chipmonks were deafening...there has to be thousands and thousands of them. The ground actually looked like it was moving...I finally found a fresh rub cluster and hung the drag in on of the limbs then went off the trail to sit on a log next to a tree and behind a good tree to hide...I could see both sides of the trail and the upper woods where I thought anything would come from...The monks settled down until my fanny fell asleep and I had to shift...the slightest movement would get them ALL chiming in :rolleyes:....It was a good hunt though nothing but another abandoned stand found just 10 yrds from where I sat down,,,flip down screw in steps were all but eaten by the tree and the hang on seat was long gone and the brackets engulfed in oak....I saw little scat, but major tracts and one scrap.

 

Oh...and it was non stop raining acorns!

I planned it perfect and made my yearly first shot WHIFF!!!..yep at a whopping 5 yards...I could have spilt a pea at her and knocked her out..lol....did everything right ..up to sliding my trigger finger along the side of the trigger before I bent low enough for such a close shot...my knuckle touched the side of trigger and off went the arrow barely over her back...she never even ran just circled and sniffed shaft...She was kind enough to circle a few times so I got a great view of no holes where they shouldn't be...she gave me enough time to knock another arrow while she went be hind the apple tree...but then dashed out the other side...Oh well no harm(thank God) no fowl and it was a blast...PS fawns came in...no momma with them tonight....
