Live from the stand thread

Small 8 cruising.
 
Little different today, last night I heard them just off the plots but never saw them, moved to a stand just in the woods, kinda thick.

Quite the project getting the buck out but I finally made it out to a stand. It would be sweet to double up today.

In MO people are sighting in 24/7/365.

But mostly in October just before dark. Hmmm :(

Slow afternoon here. I hoping for that really exciting 60 seconds.
 
Neighbor just fired up his chainsaw a quarter mile away. I hope that gets things moving. I haven't seen a deer since 0845
 
My father had about a 30 minute drive to another county this morning and saw three mature bucks on the move at different places. That tells me it's on here, because that's not a common sight. My vacation doesn't start until Saturday. I hope the action hasn't cooled off by then.
 
4 does 4 fawns went by...0 bucks. Not seeing any rut action at all here.
 
Had 11 does come through at 3:00 and 4 more came through just at dark, no antlers today.
 
Ended up seeing 8. 2 small bucks and 6 does.
 
One doe here.

Someone on this thread needs to knock the air out of one.
We can't let BJE80 have all the fun.
 
Ouch, that's sucks badger. I seen those 9 before 0830. One of the bucks came back a 1630. They just weren't moving.
 
Hope you get your hunts in early this week. 40mph winds on Thursday, 30mph Friday, be safe out there folks.

Buddy of mine (different from the guy who lost a buck last week) learned a valuable lesson sat evening. He was lowering his gear down from the stand with a couple minutes still on the clock when an eight pointer walked broadside right past him. He is still trying for his first buck.
 
Thanks, my buddy shot it. I was helping track, he said I have better eyes and wanted me to take the lead. Blood started out great and fizzled out. He went about 250yds in that nasty cattail/willow/tags. I saw him laying dead about 20yds in front of me and turned around and told my buddy theres blood going in that direction keep following it, I have to take a leak. I never told him I saw it laying there, I wanted him to walk up on it. He was stoked when he walked up on it.:)
Well played....

Be glad you are hunting even if you aren't seeing much.

I went from this yesterday morning:

I have to spend a couple days in the concrete jungle before I'm back to the woods.....

Headed to stand on our deer lease this morning... Wife wants me to put 2 of those new ladders up to her today down here for rifle season
 
I'm in stand and ready for some cruising bucks. A perfect balmy 28°
 
Live from my backyard in suburban Brookfield. Tooley stands up to a young buck before going into pursuit mode!
