Like run after him ? 

Not literally lol. Stalk him or go to where you think they are going to bed/eat. That’s how I killed my buck this year. They make lots of mistakes when with a hot doe just make sure to stay downwind of them

Startled 3 on the walk in already feeding Settled in and light flurries just starting here in 7f.   Should be an interesting evening one of the locals said big buck still alive that no one has seen but he did Sunday not too far from here so maybe my son can fill his buck tag yet.

I’ve been out since noon hoping to catch some pre-snowfall movements. Nothing sighted yet but a light snow is falling. Come on out for an early dinner, deer.

2nd shooter buck of the day seen, this one was about 40 yards needed him to take a few more steps out of the thicket but no dice. He was hot on a doe and ignored my grunts.... shame it’s bow only here

or the positive of bow-only is less gun shots / pressure.

Proficiency on the range and proficiency on the stand are two totally different things. Someone can be a great shot but get excited, not stop the deer, hit a branch, etc. I hunt some areas that administer a shooting test and still see plenty of poor shots.

I agree. Anyone can shoot a bag target or 3D when you have all the time in the world to range and get setup.

Is that the first arrow you’ve shot at an animal?

But the end result was the same. You missed. So actually... You could've been 8" left or right on a fox and still got blood, and fox are really easy to kill so I think it's fair to say you were just as far off as some of the other mishaps?? But whatever makes your mathematics add up for you! Plus how is one in with the top 1% when said person hasn't killed a deer all season!?

Comparing the kill zone on a red fox to a deer is just laughable. How many "far back", "gut" and "Ham" bow shots have seen on this forum result in dead deer?

I don't need to kill a deer just to kill a deer. I enjoy drawing on and videotaping does / non-shooter bucks. That's my choice and enough thrill

28 degrees... minimal wind where I am and a front on its way.... I’m excited just typing that!

Dilly Dilly!!!!

If that doe was hot you may see a lot more bucks at 40 yards, it might pay off to get closer

Several members told @Chef hours ago to get on his feet for spot & stalk, but I think he froze to the stand and can't draw anyway.

I was comparing that an entire red fox is roughly the size of a deers kill zone, and you essentially missed the fox so throwing stones for someone elses poor shot is not justified because you chose to shoot at something smaller and also did not hit where you were aiming...

It wasn’t the yardage that was the issue it was the brush and so far no other bucks seen but he was chasing for sure

It was a frontal shot, so maybe 3-4" area and i hit where i was aiming.

Fingers crossed!  I was not to pleased to see drag marks pass by my blind...private property.  Such is life.

Damn. Any cams that may have caught the tresspassers?

Cabin has been Evacuated, dropped my dad off at home to hook up his ATV to the plow.  Snuck in where they are logging for the last hour of shooting light.  Heard something movi g away as I was creeping in, pretty quiet where the log skidder has been through.

[46rkl]

Close, but no luck. Just had 8 doe filter past just out of my clear shot lane. About 60 yards away but I’m pretty thick brush. The snow picked up so I moved to my shooting shack an ten minutes later they moved past. Close.

Not any more, I pulled them.  I have permission to hunt my adjacent property...that’s where the drag was.  I don’t believe anyone else has permission.   I spoke to someone I saw here last year and explained the situation and where I hunt...pretty sure it’s the same person I saw hunting from one of my other blinds. I’ll probably follow the drag marks to his house after my hunt and reintroduce myself.

Snowing like crazy here in 8F

I got two texts from a neighbor at our lease the afternoon I shot my rifle buck asking "what did you shoot?"  I replied How do you know I shot something?  "I saw the blood and drag marks in the snow where you park"... ??????!!!!!.  People suck sometimes, what are you going to do.  I said "little doe" of course.
