I was sitting in my ground blind reading my Bible when I looked up I saw a deer at around 80 yards. About a half hour later i see two bucks working my way. The one came into about 25 yards and didn't like the looks of the blind even though I had it brushed in good, he started foot stomping and walking away stiff legged. The other one angled into 15 yards I was ready to draw on him but they bolted, oh well at least I had some action.

Had a momma and her 2 little ones at 15 yards on Saturday morning and let them walk. Couldn't go Sat. evening or Sun.  Went this morning and didn't have any luck.  Went this evening and had two yearlings at 10 yards. Let them walk and then thought they would sure be good eating. Saw them again, but never offered a shot. Pulled in my driveway and on the edge of my yard was our local piebald doe and 3 other deer. There are actually 4 piebald in the area.

Terry, you have more than just rabbits in the yard? I just had a thought   :rolleyes:    

[IndianaBowman]

Charlie, I think you may be right. My treestands may be too far from the house!

My son,Tyler,was sitting tonight when 2 does and a fawn came up the trail and busted him at 15 yds.He said his heart was pounding and that he's "hooked".He'll be back in the woods tomorrow after school in another spot...trying to get his 1st.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Jeff, That's great!  With the way he shot at the Muzzy, Its the deer's hearts that should be pumping. They have every right to be nervous. I'll be pulling for Tyler to get one.

Terry, either too far from the house or too far from work?  whichever allows you the most time to play.

That apple tree stand looks like a nice place to sit and reflect.

[J.Williams]

Yeah Charlie,I'd love to see him get one...gotta few good bucks running around too.He's got spots on rub/scrape lines for different winds.Good luck this season!

[ishiwannabe]

Im sure if given the chance Tyler will do well. Tell him to focus, and no thinking about the "no no" spot....isn't that what messed him up at the muzzy?  :D  

Had a fun hunt with Mikey yesterday afternoon. Heard a few deer but never saw them. Did see a huge grouse though.

Gonna be a few days before im out there again. Good luck to all of you.

[Stone Knife]

If Tyler gets a chance he will connect, that young man can shoot, he shot the pants off us guy's at the Muzzy.

[J.Williams]

Yeah Jamie,the "no no" spot is definitely not the spot he should focus on.  :nono:He just had a laugh reading this stuff.

My brother & I got out Monday AM on some public land we hunt. We covered over 2 miles and saw almost zero deer sign. One small rub and a couple piles of droppings. You would never go back if it was your first time scouting the area. We went to a farm we hunt for the evening. My brother saw 4 separate deer all does and everone of them busted him. He's a wheelie guy anyways (ha-ha). I was wanting to hunt just off a little pond but when just about to my spot a coyote jumped out of there. I left and moved a couple hundred yards. Well, 10" before dark a big doe & fawn step out where I was going to hunt. I stalked them but very loud on the leaves but they could not see or wind me. I was about 50 yds away when mama wanted to find out what was making the noise. She came prancing in facing me directly at about 15yds. She bolted and I blatted. She stopped and so did the fawn. They were about 40yrs broadside. To far for me. They never did figure out what I was.
Good luck to all.

 and no thinking about the "no no" spot....isn't that what messed him up at the muzzy?

I went out after work got setup then it started to pour, rained so hard I left. I didn't want to end up just loosing one. I have a four day weekend  

[IndianaBowman]

Saw 8 last night and had a giant doe at 30 yards in the wide open. Just out of my comfort zone though. I whapped a coyote at about 35 yards recently but respect a deer more than that. So close! They seemed to be moving well before the front came in. I'll give it another try in the AM.

[Stone Knife]

I jumped ship I'm back to the Titan.

[Stone Knife]

Haven't seen a deer in four sits     Going to the other side of the woods tonight about a half mile from were I have been. Checked out the stand this morning and there was fresh sign.
