Hunted at my lease in Coldspring.Had a little 6-point walk by at 10 yards,just let him go.Way better deer in those woods.Trail pics starting to show more bucks than does.Have multiple pics of two 10s and a funky horned 8 at the very stand I was in today.I will be back there tomorrow.It was cooler this mourning,felt good too and it was really still for once.

Hunted north of Florence this morning. 50 degrees as the moonlight was overpowered by the rising sun.  At 7:15 two does came from my 7 o'clock position.  The older doe was showing the effects of the drought....pretty guant.  The younger one looked to have more meat on her so I decided to take her if they'd just quit boring holes through me as they fed.  When I felt it safe to draw I raised my bow the last 3 inches and I swear it took me 3 minutes to draw to anchor as they were at 11 yards and I was in a 6' tripod backed into some cedars.  At release the string caught on those little rubber dots on one of the fingers of my glove that I was wearing under my tab....the shot went high/back.  

After 1/2 an hour went to get my buddy and drove to town to have some coffee before trailing her.  When we got back we couldn't find any blood, but I saw the trail they took out on.  After 40 yards I found my arrow....small amount of blood, lots of meat.  Shot her right through the tenderloin.  We couldn't find any blood on the ground after a large grid search so we tracked their running hoof prints for over 1/2 mile before losing them.  

I know this one's going to make it, but it doesn't take the sight of a bad shot out of your head.  First thing I did when I got home was cut those 3 fingers out of that glove.

Know how you feel about getting off a bad shot. Takes awhile to get the taste out of your mouth and the memory out of your head.

I spent my first weekend hunting in SE Oklahoma. Lots of public land there. Some pressure but usually never see another hunter except in the designated camp area. Sat the first afternoon and evening near the only water hole within a mile. There were lots of tracks, deer, turkey and hogs. Not one was thirsty before dark. Rained pitch forks that night and most of the morning. Managed to get in and set up  one of what I call a throw away ladder stand. If someone needs it more than I, they are welcome to it. It's located about 15 yards on the south side of a well used east west game trail. It also sits 10 yards from a well rooted out mud hole and bedding area. Only problem now is I'll have to wait a couple weeks before I can get back and see what comes by.

I knew you were up in Ok. while we were enjoying our first rain since April Danny.  I wish you the best of luck when you return.  Weather sure is getting nice....don't you just want to leave right now?...lol.

Hunting around hallettsville has been slow. But last nite I finals connected with a nine pointer. First trad buck heck first trad kill for me ever.  Wish I could add a pic but have not figured out how yet.

4 pigs and 1 coon later, the weekend ends. I'll post up some pics in different thread later.

The deer movement was pretty slow, though. The bucks I saw looked like the drought has had some effect on the antler growth.

Leaving after lunch tomorrow....staying til Tuesday afternoon.  I'm hoping this moon thing will work out. Also supposed to be another cool front blowing in Tuesday night or Wednesday. I'm working on getting both my does this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Hoping to get back to the lease this weekend.I know the bucks are starting to heat up.Have been super busy with work and I knew it was going to be this way.It does the same thing every year just creeping along all summer with hardly any work.Come fall bidding on jobs and they all come at once right when the hunting is at its best around here.

Good luck to all I will try again Sunday morning. If I learn to post pics I will.

One doe down and three barn coons. I think the coon hunting was more fun than the deer hunting.

Deer movement was mediocre, but I saw a few pigs and about 10 toms....none within range.
