I decided to give the arthritis a rest, take the morning off, and what do you know, it stopped raining at six here in Syracuse. Already second guessing myself and I havent even started hunting. Get out there and enjoy guys.
Best of luck.

just came in for lunch, the neighbors decided today was the perfect day to ride four wheelers, so I don't think I have much of a chance today.

So.......is there a story to be told  M.Knife???

[ron w]

I ment Mr. Knife!!

Well I had two different bucks within 5 yards of my stand today but no shots on them. It's the does that are giving me fits, I need to let them walk out a bit farther my stands are still too high and the angles are steep.

Hey Jeff good to see you are still around.

Good luck guys!

Had a small buck walk by my hide this afternoon.  I hadn't been sitting down for more then 10 mins and here he comes.

Wish it was a doe.

Real windy this afternoon.  One of those nights where you can't hear one coming and everything is moving.  It's tiring hunting in those conditions. You're always on alert, every movement is a deer coming.  

I like half sleeping, waiting for the crunch of leaves much better.

Kieth,

Glad you were able to make it out.  Hope you had a good weekend.  I hunted with en today, North and saw a owl land in a tree close by. That was pretty neat.  No deer or Bear sightings to speak of!

First time out tonight. Sat in my climber in a funnel made by two ponds. Had a spike come in right before dark....5 yards, and I even had a solid anchor and a spot picked. Eased down and let him enjoy his acorns.
Had about ten hen turkeys behind me at 35 yards too. It was a great first sit after the year I have had.

Good luck out there guys.

I'm setting up in the DB early this afternoon. I saw 13 deer on Sat. one yesterday morning Joe shot that with his compound his first deer ever. All I saw was fox this morning so I'm camping out in my blind for the rest of the day.

Went out around 1 PM, sat behind a root ball on a blowdown for 3 1/2 hours. Saw a few squirrels but not much else. Wind began to swirl so I thought I should get out of there before the spot got made. Walking out I saw a deers back so I froze and just waited. It was a nice big doe and her fawn. I watched them feed for a few minutes and realized that the skipper was going to offer me a shot. I slid an arrow out of the quiver and got ready. At about 18 yards she turned and showed her backside and fed away. I started to stalk them to get a shot. Then caught movement to my left ....it was 4 more does. Stalked and watched them for 25 minutes but no shots were offered. For someone who sees 3-4 deer a year it was a great afternoon. Maybe next time!
