The final count down for Indiana!

Went this evening and had two bucks within twenty yards.  Both 8 pointers.  One real nice.  I would have shot if he hadn't snuck in on me.   Once I noticed him, his head was behind a hickory tree as he scanned the bean field at the fence line.  Once he jumped the fence, I had a great look at his 130ish antlers.  The second buck was quite a bit smaller.

Funny how these bucks can turn a man's legs into quivering hello!!!

Skychief was that a typo? Either way it's funny!

[skychief]

You got me!  I have a Kindle that offers word as I type and it won't let me type j e l l o.  Anybody know how to turn the silly word suggestions off of a Kindle?!?!!!

This stand has more activity in the mornings. But here is a little one that came in during daylight in the evening. It was still Sept. though.

I was at this stand last night. I saw an owl, heard a fox and a doe came along but stayed out in the middle of the bean field.

I changed the SD card and along with the pic above I got this guy. That's a little more like it!

 

He has a broken tine already on his right beam.

Treacherous Mariah!I did my work. Checked the 'puter for wind direction, chose my ground blind by that.I got out early, first hunt in two years. About 6:00 a squirrel busted me and barked for 20 minutes or so. When it came down the side of the tree I launched a hex head at it. A little high or it would have been my first trad kill. 15 minutes after sunset, right where they were supposed to come out, mamma deer busted me. The NW wind had switched to a south by southeast about 7:15 or so, and I paid for it   :(  There's always tomorrow.

Keep at 'em achigan!

Skychief got one! Haven't seen a pic yet.

First evening out was yesterday.  I had 2 fawns, 2 larger does, a 4 point, and a medium 8 point walk within 40 yards. They came in about 6:30pm.  No shot ever developed, but it was nice to be in the woods and see deer.  They slowly fed the other direction and out of sight.  

What is everyone else seeing in the Hoosier woods?

Still haven't been out.  Family obligations getting in the way. Trying hard for tomorrow evening. Hope it cools down some.

I got out Wednesday morning.  Deer were moving all morning.  Saw 5 different small bucks and 3 does.  Also saw 8 turkeys.  Got caught drawing on one of them.  Fun morning though.  Can't wait till tomorrow morning.
