Was a great morning, the weather was perfect. No deer killed but spooked a few going in and comming out. Nice to be out there again, p.s. the red oaks are loaded with acorns this year.

Went out for a 3 hour sit this afternoon when the weather broke. Real windy out of the west....kept swirling , so it was hard to set up. Sat and didn't see anything today.

Got stuck at work til 16:15 but decided to give it a whirl anyway. Didnt have a good feeling as thats when Ive been seeing the deer come through the creek bottom to my stand. On the way in I got within 12 yards of a longbeard  til he spooked and flew up into a tree with a bad back drop.

       Was buckled into my tree by 16:45 and finally saw 4 slickheads at 18:00. They must have smelled me but couldnt pin point me. The biggest one came into 6 yards and as soon as she turned away giving me a perfect broadside shot I started to draw but she heard me in that windless creek bottom and bounced away. Oh well, its early and it was an awesome hunt. Im starting to love hunting the "Ghetto" more and more even though the deer there are spooky and expecting human contact everytime they leave their beds. Anyway, I've got their number now, if only theyll forget mine.    :dunno:

Well I got out early and spent some time up at my Dads . I had a four piont at 30 yds going in then a spike that passed at 15 yds and a buton buck at twenty . I could have shot two of these but held offas we are trying to take six point or better  but it was fun.

Well, Tyler & I were in the woods alittle after 6am. We sat in the sacred "stone circle" where I shot a spikehorn a few years back, and have missed many more over the years.....

We didn't see anything but a few VERY uncooperative tree rats this morning!!! About 9:30, I started to notice that Tyler was getting cold. (He trys to be like his old man, but seems to forget that I work outdoors 365 days a year) We headed out, got coffee and egg samiches to refuel, then headed home for some insulated pants and a wool sweater for Tyler. Then, we headed back down to the cemetary.

Tyler wanted to walk up some squirrels (???) so, I looked at it as an opportunity for him to practice his stillhunting skills, and check out the property to get his bearings. We stillhunted the entire perimiter of the cemetary property, seeing a few more uncooperative squirrels, coming out right next to my ladder stand. It was just a short walk to the stone circle, and about noon, so I decided alittle "stump shooting" practice was in order.....

Well, THAT was a mistake!!!!! The first target I picked for Tyler was about a 22 yarder... We both drew our judos... Tyler's arrow was gone before I even hit my anchor. 1 dead Pepsi can!!!!! I just let my string down and said, "I might as well put mine away!!!" We saw something shiney about 30 yards and I said "shoot that Tyler"... He let fly, and his arrow hit just about an inch above!!! Tyler went to get his arrow and said "Jeez Dad, That's a HUBCAP!!! (from my uncle's old 40something Plymouth I think) I just laughed and said, "Yeah well you missed it!!!" To which Tyler replied... "YEAH, It's a good thing too! It would have messed up my Judo!!!"

We climbed into the "stone circle" for our evening sit, it was about 1pm. We saw a few more squirrels, but none would give him a shot. We sat untill about 5;30. I would have liked to have sat longer, but I had to get him fed and home to his Mom. It was a long day for my little Penobscot Warrior.....

We did not see any deer, But... On the way out, I looked to the sky, and I thanked The Great One for a VERY, VERY, "Good Day"

Got up just at sunrise Monday morning... Looked out the front window and was able to make out the shape of a few deer in the field, nice... Got my gear together and looked out again to find five does feeding toward the front porch at 50 yards or less... Hurry down stairs and fight that darn door knob and out I go...

But, wait... They need to go around the house, from what side? Can't hear 'em now, ground is nice and wet... Bet-cha they'll sneak by 3D #7... I'll get in there..........  :banghead:

That was all the action that day... Try again soon.

Congrats Michael.  I knew a deer would die today. conditions were too good this morning. I even told someone a string would get dropped today, I was beginning to wonder if I'd eat my words.

Thanks for coming through!

Congrats on the nice deer.
