Why wouldn't you ? Because I have a new found infatuation with that nice 8pt I took videos of today. It was also cool to see 13 deer in 2 hours in the middle of the day. 7 bucks and 6 does/fawns Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show up and can’t find a spot because there are 8 other hunters? Or stick with private land? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand Maybe scout once more and try to find the bedding area?

Thats a nice 8 point, im ecxited to see how it goes. Id say target him now because he can shift that range after the second or third week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all eatin acorns in separate groups within a 2 hour span. Might have just been a lucky summer day. I’ve never had a problem finding summer bucks or getting summer buck pics. They seem pretty easy to find & pattern. Find the acorns, find the deer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that and most week days you can get bizzy(see what I did there!)Stay deep and stay “late” = after 10 or so on public land.

BizCT Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Friday 8/16: I went back to that stateland spot in the morning. Saw 7 turkeys while scouting. Not been 4 days but decided to move cam. It had a bunch of turkey pics on it, a spike, and part of what may be a big buck or just big 4pt.I also picked out a potential bowspot (last pic). That’s 24yards from me to camera. This is where I moved my trail cam too as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 8/18: Went to dad’s land. Been 2 weeks and throw & grow and WR is starting to sprout. Big 4 with no brows and some does and a yote on cam. None of the bigger bucks this time. Also hung a hang-on on a ridge for gun season. The 6 feet may not look like much from pic, but it gives a view of extra hundred yards downhill. Lastly i show my bow:4 at 251 at 322 at 365 at 401 at 20So, 13 shots. All with same pin (25yds) and just held high/low. First time shooting at 40yds. 4/5 were within a couple inches. 1 flyer missed bullseye by 5"Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
