I sat both mornings this past weekend and did not see a thing. Very windy (at least it kept the mosquitoes tamed) and too warm for mid October. Hoping things change soon, I have never had this bad of luck on my hunting spot, to not even see deer. Seven sits so far, and only seen deer one of them. Very discouraging.

Going to the MCAAP Thursday and the temps are suppose to be lower. Hope the deer are moving in the Hominy unit and maybe, just maybe I can bring something to this thread.

How did the MCAAP hunt go this weekend?

TexasTrad · « **Reply #46 on:** October 24, 2016, 10:20:00 AM »

I chose the wrong stand Saturday morning. This guy walked by the stand I didn't choose at 15 yards at about 8:00. The rut must be getting close.

I did get this squirrel which I shot on the way out of the woods:

Overall, I thought the hunting was pretty tough this weekend. Warm and windy. I did not see a lot of deer from the stand.

Reporting that Saturday was an uneventful hunt and I did not see a deer. Sunday I moved to another stand on the other side of the property and finally saw an antlerless deer. Even got a shot at about 17 yards, and sadly have to report it was a rather pathetic shot at that! Shot over the deer by at least a foot. Glad to have seen a deer and hopefully activity will pick up.

Friday wasn't bad. I'm a great hunter but not a good killer apparently.

It was my first trip to our place near the Kansas border. I arrived to find my favorite stand now resided in a decidedly dead tree....kilt many a deer out of that tree :( ...

So I moved the stand slightly south and hoped it still would work out.

Sure'nough, right at dark here came the does. Shot at a doe 20 yds behind me. Right under her. 3 minutes later. Doe 10 yds in front of me. chip shot. Pulled into right into her shoulder, forward and high. No blood, no arrow to be found. Hopefully it was less than lethal.

But ive got my bad shooting out of the way

MCAAP this week!!!

Didn't see one deer on stand at MCAAP this weekend. However my son and his friend encountered five bucks total, two of which looked to be P&Y class.
My son did have a fork horn come right up to him at the tree he was sitting next to and actually smelled his knee. Eye to eye, face to face. The buck had no clue what my son was and just backed away and left.
It made the weekend for sure!

Great encounter Michael! You will get them the next time!

I will be heading out next week, pics to follow .I have a bud of 75 years old that took a stud off of our lease with a muzzle loader last week.Probably in the 150's. He has a strategy that is , take a chair and put it near the last deer you saw last year. Works for him

Someone shot a toad at MCAAP yesterday. Apparently he was chasing a doe, and in an area the white hats hadn't seen him in. I think less than 15 were checked in though. Not sure how many there were today.

Saw a decent buck myself, probably 150 yards away. Looked like a solid 10. He was headed the wrong direction and downwind of me. I gave him the snort wheeze. He turned my way but I lost sight of him. As I was watching for him another buck came in from behind me. I think it was a 7-8 point. A mature deer anyway. Closest he got was about 40 yds.

Anyway there seems to be some activity, but with it being this hot I'm not sure what the rut prospects are this year.
