what a tough way to start the afternoon....but ya still got another 1 and 20 minutes left of good shooting light ya never know what can happen by then
It's nearly 6:30 and still nothing since we busted those doe's out of here. We have. Had a few typical early season disturbances. But, the magic hour is upon us. Will update soon!!!!!
The last hour was full of sightings. It was also full of disturbances from the neighbors and their dogs. BahHumbug!!!!!! I will be going back out Monday and I will try and update. You all again.
hopefully youll have better luck on monday.. sure is nice finally getting out in the woods isnt it
In the stand again here on Monday morning. It's 7;15 and so far all I've seen is a white cat and 1 turkey.
It's nearly 8:00am and still no deer sightings. I have a camera at the sight I'm sitting in and have alot of doe pics between 8 and 9 am. We will see what the next hour brings.
Good Luck!
8:30 and I just got busted by 5 doe's. Crap!!!!!
I'm going to sit here until 10 and see if anything else comes through. I just had a turkey land in a tree about 10 yards away from me.
Great to hear you are out this morning! Love it when guys do this so will check back as often as I can!
Well, as I was getting down I got busted by 2 doe. If I would have stayed in the stand until 10 like I said I was going to I may of had a shot at those doe's. I may get out tonight but not sure. Next time after today will probably be Thursday evening and Friday morning. Happy and safe hunting to all until next time.
I tried posting here my last couple hunts but it kept saying the sight was down. Well, it's back up now so you should be getting more live reports soon. Hopefully Monday evening!!!!!
Yearling at 10 yds this morning around 7:45....nothing since. Cold front did not happen. Pushed back until tonight
I'm in one of my favorite stands. Conditions are perfect for it tonight. Unfortunately this will be my last update until I'm done hunting. Don't want to risk blowing it tonight.
Quick update. My buddy saw 1. I haven't seen any. But the magic hour is upon me now. Gotta go.
Sorry to keep you all waiting. I had a nice 100" 8 point walk by me at 6:45. He has a little kicker off his left G-2. I filmed him for a bit although it's not very good quality. Never posted video but I will give it a try. More coming tomorrow morning and evening. It's suppose to be pretty frosty in the morning.
This morning was a bust. The only deer I saw was on the drive in. It was a beauty of a 12 point. At least he didn't jump in front of my truck because he was right on the edge of the road. I will be back at it again this evening and Thursday evening. I will try and send live updates from the stand when I can.
My son and I hunted Sunday evening. We were not able to get to the stand location we wanted until about 5:00 and got busted by one doe that was in the bean field already. After that we saw a mom and good sized yearling about 6:15, another single doe around 6:45 and five turkeys before dark. Did not see any of the bucks I have on camera, still a pretty good night with my son.
Well guys, it's 4:44. According to every evening hunt I've had this year the next 2 hours will probably be pretty quiet. Then tha action will bbegi. Check back and see how it goes.
So far nothing but a bunch of chipmunks. But prime time is upon me. Check back in a bit.
Saw one running about 80 yards away but that was it. I had one blowing at me as I was walking out. Next time out probably won't be until Thursday evening or possibly Thursday morning if I can leave work early.
Tuesday morning and evening were pretty uneventful. I am going to try to leave work early Thursday morning. I'm hoping I can get off about 4:45am. It's suppose to be in the upper 20's where I am at. If I can get off early I will definitely be in a tree stand Thursday morning. Then I will sleep a couple hours and be right back at it Thursday evening. Good luck to everyone else!!!!!
It looks like I might get lucky and be able to get off work early this morning and make it to my stand in time. I'm hoping to nail a nice fat doe or one of the big boys of course. There is also a piebald do running around on our property that I wouldn't mind taking out. I will update the situation this morning. At the least I will be out this evening.
Good luck to you if you were able to get out this AM! We have a piebald doe running around too, only we decided she gets a pass for a while. Really cool to see that's for sure!
I got out in the morning but didn't get in the stand and settled in until 7:20. Not good. I saw alot of deer driving in but nothing on stand. I am in the stand now just waiting for 6:30 to roll around. Hopefully a nice big fat doe will grace my presence so I can get that first one down. Last year at this time I already had 2 doe and my buck down. Update in a bit.
Well guys. I just blew my first shot of the year. I just shot under a doe at about 27 yards. I just plain misjudged it. Hair and a little fat was on the arrow but no blood at all. But, it's prime time now. Maybe I will get a chance at redemption.
Attachment 9232Attachment 9231I saw 3 more doe's at about 6:50 but they were all too far away. Here are a couple pics of the broadhead with the hair and fat on it.
I to shot under a doe this year already and it sucks! I had a bunch of hair on the ground good luck man
I'm with both of you guys, just shot under a doe at 32 Yds, I was at full draw for bout 2 minutes and when she stepped into my lane I thought she was at 25, apparently not.
I am going to try and get off work at 5am and be out there in the morning. If not I will definitely be out there Saturday evening. Hopefully I will have some good updates for you all to follow. Both morning and evening!!!!!
I made it out this morning. I just had 2 doe walk past me just out of range. I have to get down a little early so hopefully something happens soon. I will be back out this evening though.
I'm in the stand again here on October 13th. It's much windier than what they said it would be. But, at least it's blowing in the right direction. I'll check back with you all in a bit.
One good thing about this wind is it's bringing in a frontal system. Maybe that will get them up on their feet and moving with plenty of daylight left.
Just had 3 does come by me but no shot. It's still early. Not quite 6 o'clock yet.
Nothing else Saturday night. I will be up in a tree stand her in a little bit though. It's Monday the 15th, 6am here. Check back in a bit for updates.
How easy is it to shoot without a release. I got to my spot and realized it's back home. I've never shot without it. Is it worth staying in the stand or will it entirely throw everything off?
I have some the same thing befor and decided to go ahead and sit and got home and shot like that and yah it throws ur shot off some ur anchor point is different and ur bow is sighted in using a release not ur fingers I would stay If I were u. If it makes u feel any better I have already been blown at by a few doe at my favorite stand so yah rough mornings all around
You shoot high or low?
If I remember right I'm pretty sure that ur arrow will be a little lower
