What's worse: an all day sit with no deer, an all day sit with a few deer that are unreachable, or an all day sit where the only deer you see are out of reach and then shot by neighbors?

A day you can’t hunt for health, family or personal problems.

Ended up seeing 4 deer. All from 1pm on. No shots fired even though they where within range. Tomorrow’s another day

At least you don't have to worry about them coming up behind you.

A worry I don't mind having....

6 doe, 2 spikes and a respectable 4 point all within 15 yards of my blind today in 4c. All three bucks were harassing doe. View from the blind looking down into a ravine. Picture makes it look flat but I am about 25 feet above the floor about 20 yards out in front of me. Forecast does not look good for tomorrow with 20-30mph out of northwest with 40-50mph gusts. omorrow is not looking great with 20-30mph out of northwest with 40-50 gusts.

Sat over the food plot I planted in my buddy’s property in Columbia county this season-looks good- probably a better evening spot but I was happy to sit over something I made! Two doe out of range in thick $hit...nothing else. At 10:00 I got the call my buddy and his father - each took a doe TOGETHER- pretty cool memory for them. ATV’ed them back and then another member of the party called- doe down! Another retrieve and three hanging. I needed to leave by 4:00(wife and daughter were going to a play) as I finished quartering the 3 another guy dropped and nice 8 pointer (his first in three seasons). What a day! Hoping to head back to 3s with the bow tomorrow afternoon if all the deer don’t get blown away!

Nice!  Whereabouts in Rensellearville?  We hunt just a couple miles from there!

I missed on a doe at 45 yards this morning. (hangs head in shame). Doe ran into the food plot, stops, and looks up at me. I freeze. It starts slowly moving across the food plot. When it goes behind a small tree, I try to sight it in my scope. It starts running. I overcompensated for it running, shooting twice in front of it. Fortunately, it literally ran to my hunting buddy's stand 300 yards away in the other field. He also got another deer in the afternoon, a 1 point buck (spike with one broken off; he thought it was a big doe). He let me have the doe and he kept the spike.

I'm glad we went out despite the crappy weather forecast. Once we got past the 1.5 hrs of rain this morning, it really wasn't that bad until 4:00. Then it started to pour. We passed on the magic hour (had just finished field dressing the 1 pointer) but overall can't complain.

Didnt see a thing all day til I got down from stand. Walked 30yards and two deer up a lane just before dark but 200 yards away.  Didn't have time to try a stalk so tried a shot.   Didn't connect, checked for blood and hair and nothing.  Was a real big doe and I have 3 tags yet.  30-06 was up for the shot. ( Used 3030 in am but switched in pm) but it was off hand and no tree to steady on anywhere. Wouldn't have shot except the deer was perfect broadside.

Well connected on a little busted up 5 and im going to brave the wind tomorrow and try to catch a big doe looking for cover. Then off to put in flooring. Good luck to those going out tomorrow and be safe in that wind and congrats to all that have a deer hanging tonight.

What's worse? 

 

 

Being laid up recovering after getting a kidney removed on Monday is worse. Trust me

All day sit for me in Sardinia.   Saw a 6 point buck at 830 and let him walk, nothing after that except rain.  Tomorrow looks like a crap shoot with 50 mph gusts...may just sleep in tomorrow,  I've been living in a tree for 10 days.

[Jdubs]

Dark to dark and no deer seen.  On the plus side, I just enjoyed some fresh backstraps and brews with my neigbhbor who took a nice 5 pt at his friend's property.  Great motivation for tomorrow's all day sit in the monsoon!

Hard to post from the particular stand I was in due to barely-there cell signal, but was fortunate this morning. Story in the harvest thread.

[borntohunt10820]

Took a fat doe at 2:40 this afternoon, started to field dress and the skies opened up.Torrential down pour, I hung my vest on a tree and went for the Ranger, thank God it has a hard top.We'll see what the morning brings but will have to get the doe into the freezer .

[turkeyfeathers]

30 to 40 mph winds and pretty sure I can’t cross the creek. I think I’ll pass on that , second day or not. Just doesn’t sound all that fun. Back to bed.

Well I’m up and I’m gonna give it a shot even with the wind. I’m heading to a blind that sits on a plot down in a bottom. I’ve seen deer there in the past when it’s been windy. I figure I’ll sit there for a bit and then head over to a different farm and put a stall on a creek bottom where they tend to bed down in west winds. 

Talked to my buddy this morning, I will Probably be the only one out today. Should be a good day to do a bunch of still hunting but we will see how the morning turns out first. Can’t kill them from the couch!

[genesee_mohican]

Listening to the wind howl and gust, thinking about where I can sit on the ground for a few hours, or maybe take a walk.

[Hock3y24]

Taking the morning off with this wind, it sounds crazy out there.

[Robhuntandfish]

Def on hold mode here. 30 mph winds off oneida lake here and rain. Nope.....

Forecast for tonite is 3_7 inches of snow. Heavy lake effect and wind. Tomorrow ought to be fun at work. But if we close die to weather a pm hunt in the snow could happen......

[Bowshotmuzzleloader]

Congrats,,,,,,

Some nice deer taken yesterday, looks like a rollercoaster ride in the weather the next day or so going to make this more like work or interesting at the least..

Good luck all..
