Had a crazy hunt tonight, saw 7 deer total,missed and saw the biggest buck of my life all on my property. It's funny how you can be so focused one time and make a great shot, and a few days later totally blow it and bounce arrows off of trees. That's what keeps me comming back for more,there is alway's more too learn.

We've all been there! I missed a chip shot at an absolute monster a few years back. That's what keeps us going back and now at least you know he's out there!

Saw a real beast last night about an hour after sunset crossing the road about four miles from my house - right down near the river in a fairly densly populated area!  Nice, tall-tined eight point at least with just the start of "crab claws" on the front beam tips.  Looked like his antler genes had put all their effort into up instead of wide.

I'd rather see him over a broadhead instead of in the headlights, but it was a treat none-the-less.  He's got a long season ahead of him.  Gun starts in a week.

Did a 2 1/2 hour sit today, thought I could maybe catch some deer movement on some state land....not much going on. I never even saw a squirrel. Used a ground blind I made 2 years ago, the wind was perfect for it. Back out in the AM to see if I can get a crack at the big one I saw the other day. I have seen 17 deer so far including 4 bucks.....unreal for me!

Better be careful, Ron....you may have to take a shot in the not too distant future. The bucks are moving pretty good right now.

Haven't seen much lately, except a really lonely red squirrel who won't leave me alone!Kep at it-- 1 week to go and some poor weather during part of it.... wind has been a pain this season.

Nice mourning out, set up to cut the deer off the way they have been coming in......Wrong    :banghead:    At 7 am I turn my head and I'm greeted with a deer blow, Wind was good, but he must have seen my head turn and I was busted!!! Nice high racked 8 point....real nice deer. Didn't really blow out of there just walked fast for 30 yards and then went back to a stroll. That's now 1 spike, and 4 racked bucks this year.....I have to pinch myself!!    :biglaugh:      :biglaugh:

I had a spike and a really big, but young 4 point chasing does around my stand this morning. I'm looking for a real mature buck now and the does didn't offer any shots. Found a set of huge buck tracks this afternoon on my way in and have a few does bedded in the valley below me.....

Well finally-- small doe came in then skittered off just as it was getting too dark to see twigs in the way of a shot.The a LOUD grunt from 10 yards behind me and a real nice 8-pointer comes in to 15 yards, definitely on the prod, nose to the ground after that little doe. Even if he'd offered a shot, it was too dark to take a chance. Nice to know he's around, though!   :archer:

Saw a flock of 24 Turkeys again today... checked the trail cam from this week.

3000 pictures of grass blowing. had 3 deer on it. I had it in a huge trail over looking a scrape. all 3 deer were bucks including a nice 8 point (now 7) I have caught a few times, always at night.

My buddy a compound shooter went to state land on the VT border. he had some guys come in with rifles and shoot a buck. then after they left he saw a black bear.

No buck tag had to let a nice 7 walk, he came into 9 yards and just walked on by. My friend was with me in another stand and all he saw was a squirrel. I sure would have liked to have him in the stand I was in he still has his buck tag but that's how it goes.

Good Luck tomorrow Susan.   :wavey:  

I will be taking your old stand to a piece of public ground in the morning. I have decided the deer om the farm I am hunting are nocturnal and only crossing a huge field. 5 sits with deer sighted, time to do something different.

Yep,you never see a big buck untill you shoot a small buck. But it's way better than shooting no Buck at all.
