TheHornHunter Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Got to watch one of my shooters feed for about an hour tonight, unfortunately I was 500 yards away on the opposite side of the field. Same thing happened last Sunday but he at least closed about half the distance then and gave me some hope. This property is a big peninsula with a field in the middle and the bucks almost always bed back by the point but it’s super hard to get close because does bed all along the field edge and no good way to get around them. I’d like to get my kayak in there but closest access is over a mile away and I don’t think I’m that ambitious haha. Tough decision whether to wait him out and hope he closes the distance one afternoon or try to sneak in and risk busting him out.

TheHornHunter Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We’ve tried that previous seasons and the big bucks just circle around the person that jumps them. It’s super thick crap. My partner and I might try it again, probably a last day tactic since we’ll either kill him or he’ll be long goneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, might have to try that when my partner can get out. I wish it was still shotgun season… be a heck of a lot easier with a shotty than a muzzy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthiafu Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That's how we do it . We both start walking and talking . Then one stops on a back side of a hill as the other goes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Looks like another rainy/snowy day tomorrow morning. If it was another day of the regular season I would probably turn the alarm off but I’m excited to carry the muzzleloader for the first time. I put a lot of effort in getting it ready and getting myself ready for it that I want to get out and use it.

Swamp_bucks Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Up getting ready. May be my last hunt of the year. @Enigma will be here soon so hopefully we have 1 or 2 down early. Will be heading back to my opening day gun spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHornHunter Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Got a pic of what I’m afraid is the shooter I was watching in the field yesterday and he shed both sides could be wrong and it’s not a great photo, but I got pics of all the other regular bucks back there last night and they all had horns. I would LOVE to find the shed with the unicorn point, somehow he managed to make it all the way to a few days ago when this pic was taken without breaking it off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGX7PM Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Good Morning and Good Luck to anyone else still looking to punch a tag. Careful, the weather may have a nice coat of ice on anything left out depending on your area. My ladder was coated and suffice to say, it made for a very cautious climb up.

Bolt action Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Well I'm in. First sit in a few weeks, and first with the muzzy in a few years. Not real optimistic. No one should have been here recently, so I'm hoping the deer are a little more relaxed. Really I'm pulling in trail cams and getting my climber out now that the season is just about done. If a doe comes around though, I'll be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadd Rapp Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I’m in. 7A. Last day for me I think. Headed to the Bills game tomorrow. Good luck to everyone still out here grinding.

ATbuckhunter Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Skipping today cause of the rain. I dont feel like going out with the muzzleloader and have a misfire. Ill be out tomorrow though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loworange88 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Light rain in 8Y. Bumped two walking in. So far nothing. Short sit this morning, if the weather cooperates I’ll take my 8 year old out later. Tomorrow looks to be the better day weather wise here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 One hour in and all is quiet. Not a single shot yet. 32 degrees feels like 23 and the snow is just starting to fall. I don’t have to great of expectations but I just couldn’t pass up on the first ever muzzleloader hunt.

wolc123 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 A wet heavy snow started and forced me into the lower level of my two story blind. A dead ash fell next to it during last Saturday’s wind storm and that is obstructing the view from upstairs. It broke up high and the top is supported by a nearby white oak so it does not block my view from down here. I was planning on driving down to my buddies southern tier camp around noon, but lacking a 4wd vehicle, I think I will pull the plug on that. I heard something moving around in the adjacent heavy cover, just before the snow started. It may have been a deer, but more likely turkey(s). That’s all I saw on my last hunt here a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowmanMike Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 First drive of the day was uneventful. Sleet here in 4F. There are 5 of us stirring up some deer on this drive hopefully,everybody wants some meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
