Another hunt in the books yesterday #8,  got a late start but went and sat for about 3 hours. Much cooler temps and it was a beautiful day. But still no action...... not anything moving in the woods...

Hey Ron hang in there. Might be worth another walk around the property. Seems the "hot" tree can change on a moment's notice. Bring your waldrop. If you find an oak that's all tore up underneath sit down and hunt it till dark.

The spot I was in today I hadn't seen deer in 3 sits. Today I watched a 130 inch buck and his girlfriend bed down 40 yards away. After 3 hours I couldn't hold it anymore.  They bedded under the tree I sat in last year but saw all the deer where I moved to for this year. Grrr. Anyway keep at it and I hope you figure out the puzzle with the pieces that are constantly changing

Sit # 9, 3 1/2 hours, didn’t even take a nap !! Turns out I should have!!!

Evening hunt #10, a bit cooler but clear and sunny!! Actually saw 2 deer at 3:15 and 3:30, both busted me with crazy winds that kept changing. Still it was good to see them, been a long time since I have seen a deer!!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Glad you're getting on em Ron

[woodchucker]

Get'n better, Ron!!!!!

Sit # 11, another small doe snuck up on me! Hung around at 8 yards right behind me, no shot !!

Soon Ron soon its all going to fall into place.
Neighbor kids busted me sleeping in my stand 2 weeks ago asked if I needed a breathe rite I was allegedly snoring.

  hope your strapped in !!

Ron, I'm running into the same problems you have. My wife has improved, so I have been able to hunt a little lately. I have been hunting the afternoon shift, which is something I don't usually do. I have seen NADA. I need to get back to morning hunts, because I feel it is a better time to see deer. Stay persistent and things ought to pick up, but I really do believe mornings is more likely to be productive.

What ron hasn't mentioned is gun hunters have his lease surrounded.  Frankly I think its impressive he has seen anything at all.  In WI as soon as rifle season opens  it seems the deer become exclusively nocturnal unless its insanely cold and they need food or you have a large tract of land where they have not been pressured

Went before daylight for hunt #12 today. My headlamp die on the way in and I almost broke my neck in the dark, lol my backup flashlight was almost dead also but we went on. I couldn’t find the spot I had picked last time so I just set up in the general area. At 7:15 a doe appeared in front of me at 6 yards walking at a steady pace. I slowly got the bow up but the shot had moved on!! These Georgia deer must go to Ninja classes, they make no sound coming in. This is the third time this has happened!! I got up to leave after 3 hours and see another Hunter in a home made ladder stand 30 yards behind me, never knew he was there, he must have come in after me I guess!! I have new batteries in all my lights now!!

Maybe not Ninja deer, maybe years of  too much noise from G.E. ?

[ron w]

Huntmaster 70 , what?

[ron w]

Afternoon hunt # 13 is in the books, nice day but no action today !!

[Doug in MN]

Glad your still at it my friend! How long is the season there Ron? Here in MN we go to 12-31
I have spent more than a few cold late season days in a deer stand or ground blind.
Best of luck to you I still feel likes it going to fall in place for you.

[GCook]

Ron, guys like you are tough.  I admire your tenacity and hope you get your deer.

[ron w]

Doug in mn, season goes into early January , good thing it isn’t cold !!

[ron w]

Sit #14,   No story to tell, as always !!  !!!
