Anybody still after em?
« on: December 15, 2019, 01:51:15 PM »
Figured this morn would be great with snow on the way but the deer must have went to bed early. Saw a yote and a spike . Of course the spike came by at 14 yards and the yote at 40. Couldn’t squeak him in so he must have had an early breakfast too.
Great morn tho, 20 degrees and light steady wind to keep scent going the right way...

Yep, hunted a few hours this morning. Saw 6 or 8, two could have been repeats.
Saw a decent buck chasing two does, little second rut action. Getting ready to head back out, hopefully they will be moving before this approaching storm.

That’s what I was hoping for, but think they finished up before daylite .

Good luck !!

Still hot after them...hunt 66 this afternoon

My action has been very good in the late season. Typically, the action picks up the week of Christmas and extends thru the end of season.

Our season just reopened.  I have until the end of the year.  It has been raining so the stalking is much better.

I don’t see how you guys that hunt way up north can do it!!!!!

I’m still at it. I have a buck I’ve been playing cat and mouse with for a month. Hopefully, he will slip up before the season ends on Jan 5th!!!

Yep you guys farther north are dedicated!

I'm hoping the second rut will get going while I'm off work for a few days.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

A little......but not as much as I want to be.  :laughing:

Would love to have some snow and colder temps to get the deer moving in daylight. Gun season ended just a week ago so deer are pretty nocturnal.

Bisch, deer hunting is SUPPOSED to be done in the cold. Nothing like being over dressed, freezing, teeth chattering, snot running cold. And December in the north east is the best time to do it.

Still going but not strong - down to a few single afternoon hunts - one tag left but freezer is full so I’m good if I don’t fill it. Fished for trout and scouting ducks so starting to transition to winter endeavors. Yeah you guys in snow I loved it as a kid but I moved south in 86. That would be tough for me now but I still love a fresh tracking snow and think about it from time to time. Our season closes Jan 1 - I’m taking a nap soon after!!!

I thought the same thing for this evening as the snow came in about 5ish. Not a single deer. Guess they bedded up early.

Still hunting but after today I’m taking a break till Christmas I’m pretty beat down from the last 2 1/2 months of bowhunting almost every day.  Our season ends Feb 28th so still lots of time. I agree on the northern guys , I couldnt take much hunting in that kind of cold .
