NC Whitetails 2016
« on: September 10, 2016, 05:45:00 PM »
Anyone have any good plans for deer season? I know we'eve got a hunt up in the northwest that Dalton is hosting. Lets hear your schemes and stories for the season.
Any luck on opening day? I did a little wandering this morning and checked on a big oak I spotted a few weeks ago. Its dropping acorns and the deer have torn it up since I was last there.

I made the scouting trip with Dalton in August, so I'm mentally prepared, and excited about what I saw.  But being from the WV hills originally, I think there is something at the genetic level that won't even allow me to buy my license until we have a week without a temperature in the 90s and at least one morning in the 50s!

I hunted this morning until about 12:30... 90 degrees and miserable!  I was reminded once again why I rarely hunt until October.

two nice toms walked past me at 10 yards this morning, oblivious to my presence. Go figure.    :confused:

Haha that's how it goes mangonboat. I scared two out of their roost ten feet from the car. Saw 5 tons together by the side of the road and they all had nice beards. It was pleasantly cool in the mountains today.

We had a stellar opening day here in the mountains! Ethan killed a beautiful opening day buck, his biggest by far with a trad bow. 10 yard ****, 100yard recovery, all on film to boot.

 

So glad deer season is back!!

That's a fine buck! On opening day no less!  I can't wait to hunt this stand of oaks that's tore up. I struggled to find acorns last year and they weren't hitting the ones I did.
Should I hunt these oaks in morning or evening?
I can't imagine hunting the low country parts of the south this time of year in the heat. It was 53 degrees when I got in the car yesterday morning in the smokies.

Congratulations to Ethan - very nice buck!

I hunted opening morning and evening - saw 1 doe that morning and 5 does plus one cow horn during the evening hunt. Found my first rub of the season also…This is in piedmont part of the state.

I hunted 2 hours yesterday morning in northern Moore County.  The only thing I saw was a lizard crawling on one window of my ground blind and that was it.  My clothes weighed ten pounds more when I got home than they did when I left home.  It's amazing how much a fella can sweat in 90 degree weather inside a ground blind!     :eek:      :scared:      :knothead:

Cooler weather comes. I sat for only two hours Saturday morn. Saw only one squirrel. Didn't even consider an evening sit. I was drenched from other chores.

Congrats Ethan!
