You're just being paranoid

Looks like the bear stopped by and tore up the firepit in front of the cabin

no excuses I screwed that one up. Too high. She’s alive and didn’t look in any discomfort after I snuck in on her after a 400 yard track of footprints with 2 drops of blood.

I hunt a spot loaded with hickory trees. You can't walk some years without stepping on nuts. I have never seen a deer eat one. I have heard a couple times they will eat them but .........not here.

And here I sit in my office.  Shame on me.

7 am this morning watching doe with fawn70 yards out from a tree seat. They got very nervous,  then started trotting away. Just then 2 coyotes busted out on my left. One coyote stopped, 35 yards. On impact, he screeched like a cat, spun and bee lined straight at me. About 5 feet from me he did a 90, and headed down the hill. I was ready to club him with the bow. That got the blood flowing. 

I stayed in stand. About 9 had spike, doe and fawn within 30 yards. Nice movement this morning.

That looks like a spot I have in Caledonia. I call it "trail 5"

Then you'd have the same problem as last year and who wants that 2 years in a row.

I’m out. Zillions of squirrels and chipmunks. Saw a sharp shinned hawk come in and miss a tree rat. He flew through low and quiet hour later. Also saw mature bald Eagle fly down the creek. Same one as last year probably. I’ll hunt last few hours later. Burned myself out last year and not completely into it this year. Marathon not a sprint.

I had a great morning! Saw deer playing around about 100 yards away and then heard one crash into the corn field behind me.  Then it mewed for Mama for 15 minutes.  An hour later I had a doe come in I thought alone and was getting set up for a shot.  Then the fawn appeared but I was still going to take the doe.  That is until the Mama started licking the fawn.  That changed my mind!   Both of them laid down within 50 yards of me and stayed for over an hour.   I had to go so I climbed down slowly and was able to walk to within 20 yards of them before they blew off.  

Stoked for the rest of the season!

Good first sit. Got into my spot early. Missed my mark by 40yards but still had a good setup.  About 6am I can hear a deer coming and all I could see was its body in the low light and could tell it was a bigger deer but wasn't sure what it was or where it disappeared to once it got past. He only walked 8 yards behind my tree.  About 730 the winds picked and I found out where he went. He bedded 40yrds behind me. He blew and took off like a rocket and all I could see was main beams crashing through the brush. 

Hoping to take the little ones out today for a short sit this evening. My 4yr old has been begging to go with me for 3 weeks.

I'm not live yet.....but got a report that a buddy had a high shoulder hit on a buck.....had pass thru but the arrow was still sticking out both sides as it trotted off. They waited and got on good blood but mid morning marked last blood and backed out.

What's everyone's experience with high shoulder hits?

Focus on the 10pt , I’ve got you for my fantasy pick this week ! Coyotes should be worth 2 points as well .

High shoulder means different things IMO to people - over spine...alive, and not really shoulder. If it's genuinely through the paddles, well, that should be a dead deer. I would also think if it were through paddles, the arrow would have broken quickly.
