moog5050 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Tonight was the reason I hunt and no arrow released. Couple of lessons learned: 1. When you get in stand and see that lane to scrape you are hunting isn’t clear, clear it. If you don’t, you will have a giant come in and work the scrape but not take the two steps forward to get a clear shot. Lol. Instead he will walk directly away from you will you are drawn and swearing to yourself. That’s twice that big boy escaped an arrow. Still awesome. 2. When a little buck circles in front of you and behind stand don’t assume the noise is him. It could be another giant that gets spooked when you turn to look at the 3pt. 3. Sometimes that second giant (20” inside easy) will come in from directly down wind and not give a darn until he is spooked by the 3pt you startle. 4. That second giant may never show on cam but he is there. awesome and frustrating night. Sorry @crappyicei almost got it done for you! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moog5050 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 One more lesson, that big buck that hit the scrape will return 45 min after you leave to taunt you. So funny. Wish I could hunt tomorrow. He is seeking hard. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubborn1VT Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Congrats to Chef and Spiff for getting it done! Good luck to anyone tracking. I'm out of the woods for these warm days. Probably won't hunt until Saturday when rifle season opens here in the 802. Still next to no signs of the rut. No big bucks on cameras. It's almost here though. Any day now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinorocks Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It was a beautiful afternoon! I saw lots of deer (in groups of 2, 3, & 4) but no bucks… I was within very close shooting distance of a couple (wish I had a doe tag)! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 No shots, but saw two shooters on the way out about 100 yards from where I was sitting. Getting closer! I think it's finally picking up. Just in time for the magical day of Nov 10th ! Buck up in that area again in the AM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YFKI1983 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Guess i sat in the wrong spot tonight! This is the buck i drew on last week. I was 50 yards away from him. I did see him a hundred yards away in the field, grunted at him and got his attention, but he would not cone to me.

Chef Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Well good news is a buck DID show up. Bad news is that I hit him in the guts. This digested food everywhere, very little blood.
