Hunting the Hard way

[supernaut]

Congrats on a beautiful buck!

You are definitely having a banner season!

Congrats!  I’m always surprised on the large body size of the LA deer compared to other southern states.

I know you hunt from ground but are you running a certain chair or just “roughing” it on a log or knees?

There’s downed trees and brush piles aplenty, I don’t carry a chair or blind or anything else. I stand if I can or kneel down when it’s close to deer time. It’s been so dry still hunting is near impossible. Sitting in one spot is tough.

Congrats!

You certainly have a string going.

Thanks for reply. Yeah I wish I could hang like that but these old knees and back are mother with out my Waldrop!!

Going in with nothing but a bow and quiver and knife is very appealing though. Really bare bones is prolly best imo.

Wildlife Refuge archery season opened today, kinda warm. This guy chased a doe right by me turned around and came back 10 yard shot. I was on the way to my tree stand I hunted this morning. I’m outta buck tags.

Realized my bow was cropped out of the pick. Here he is where he fell

Found a good natural blind in a dry creek bed that has a lot of deer traffic. Spent the morning sharpening skinning knives and broadheads. I’m ready for the does and maybe hogs.

Buddy you are having a awesome season. Way to go man!! 

That buck looks good size body wise.

[Hill Style]

Thanks to everyone.
Yeah Tim it’s been a season to remember for sure. I usually kill 4-5 deer a season but spread out over the season. The last 2 weeks have been busy. I also kill on average twice as many hogs as deer on a normal season. I’ve yet to get a chance at a hog? Seeing sign but not much else. Game warden said they’d trapped over a hundred pigs in the area I hunt so I’m sure that’s the main reason.

You might have to change the title to hunting the easy way if you kill any
More from the ground lol.

Lol. The wind was swirling bad yesterday I ended up hunting a treestand. I haven’t gave up stand hunting entirely as sometimes it’s the only option if you want to have any chance for success. Ended up seeing only one small one eyed buck. The temps have warmed which slowed down the daytime movement. That creek blind I found looks really promising but I need the wind to cooperate.

[Tim Reese]

Yeah we have really high winds today. Took the morning off myself to get caught up on a few things. Gonna hit the afternoon from ground. I got nothin to lose at this point. Lol. Really don’t wanna be up a tree in 35 mph winds.

Work interrupted my season but I was able to get a big doe yesterday. Another Zwickey Delta thru the heart Surewood shaft. Hunting a natural blind in a dry creek bed.
