RED!!!!!!

Nice job buddy......you really stuck it out.  Not a snowballs chance in Hell I could do that (all day sit) on Opening day of bow.

 

Thank you very much.

Honestly minus the rain it was it was a very nice and easy day for me to sit all day not to warm and not to cold. I might do another all day sit on Saturday.

Well my freezer is being restocked after a tumultuous wait and track.

 

In my 3S tree by 4 and at 5:00 on the nose I see movement. By 5:03 she is where I need her to be (I almost called my shot with this pic but she was actually in the hole to the right!)

 

I release a shot that is higher than I like and maybe a touch back - I swore she was more quartering to by the entertainment and exit are not all to angled from each other.

 

Wait 45 minutes and check the arrow

Find some decent bright blood and track for a bit (LIKE AN ASS!). Kicked her from her bed and then backed out.

Came back at 10 with my partner and resume an absolute Epic track. I wish I had a go-pro or even a working phone(mama crappy was at sprint all night replacing my busted one- she’s good!). Hands and knees through tall grass up and over briars on trace blood and tracks.

Partner finds blood and thinks it turned back. I kept going on a run a squirrel would need to squeeze down. Find more blood. Bust through the vegetation above like we are whack a moles and see two bucks in our flashlights about 100 yards further towards a “clearing” or at least clearer brush and figure we would just head their way and walk the road back as the sign was gone and it was midnight. We are deep in the Shat and ain’t walking back.

Get to where the bucks were and there are runs everywhere. We split up and start poking around and I catch eye shine in some thick nastiness and there she lay.

 

While I am disappointed in my shot, I am unbelievably thankful and proud of the track we pulled off. The find was a bit serendipitous but we earned it for sure.

 

Quartered and hung by 1:45.

 

 

And oooppsss...probably should have put this in the Harvest thread. My bad!

While I’m at it...cell cams rock!

I sat for 12 hrs today. I didn't see anything until just before 5pm when 3 doe came in and ate around under my stand for 5 minutes. I shot her at 9yrds. She piled up 50yrds behind my stand.

Congrats Red!

[WWJD_Hunter]

Shot this last evening and had to let her lay until this morning. The shot wasn’t the greatest, so I back out. She was laying 50 yards from where I saw run to. Meet the freezer for team 4. Enjoying God’ s great outdoors.

This nice 3.5 year old came out into the field a little after 6:00 yesterday evening. I tried to tickle my rattling antlers together a little bit to try to entice him in but he didn't like it at all. Guess there are too many bucks there that are above him in the pecking order. I'm going to try to cut him off with my climber after work this afternoon.

845am.Lone doe behind me at 65.looked like she was gunna give me a clean 40 and turned other way.first deer sighting 2020 season!

[Moho81]

I’ve been in the stand since 6:30am. I was able to get the umbrella up just in time before the rain came. It was steady for about 30-45 min but has since stopped. Now it’s just the constant dripping from the trees.

I’ve seen 3 doe all 80ish yards away at three separate times. The trail camera is showing some nice bucks moving around in the light but mostly from 3pm on. I’ll hunt until around 11 then go run some errands before sitting in the same spot for the evening.
