I walked in to my 20 acre place before daylight. Two does and a young buck sensed that I had been there. Over the next hour all three eventually walked out looking for me and offered 15 yard broadside shots. It happens all the time at that spot. Deer are stupid - except for the ones I’m hunting.

I’ve got the ML at my other place this evening. Also have my compound. The 10 point I’ve been seeing may or may not be safe - depending on how I’m feeling.

Easy shot with ML at 5 year old 8 point but I’m passing.

This was this am. Sure makes it fun. The 2 year old 8 point told me the government was wrong again. It was a southeast wind at 8 am. Almost polar opposite of weather.gov.

Tough bowhunting without a wind unless you have strong thermals.

Was an extremely frustrating weekend. Hot, sunny, dry, loud and no wind. Im doing more harm than good. Almost impossible to access stands without blowing out deer and if you get the wrong thermal or slight swirling breeze it was game over once in the stand. Gonna lay low until we get a change in the weather. Silver lining, it was early single shot rifle season (muzzleloader) and I bet I didn’t hear 4 shots all weekend long.

I normally sit out the dead calm days because I hate making so much noise, I feel like I’m blowing the entire place out. Give me a breezy, wet day anytime but work tends to get in the way of the best conditions

Hunted this evening, a little more daylight buck activity on camera the last 24 hours. Talked to a neighbor today who said he has found 3 nice bucks that were dead near his creek the last couple weeks. I am sure EHD is taking a toll again this year. Saw 1 ok buck and a doe with a fawn. The buck showed no interest in the doe tonight. Grunted at him a couple times. He heard me but wasn’t interested in checking it out.

Getting to be that time of year, but this guy was more concerned with apples, beans and brassicas.

Yesterday afternoon things kicked into hi gear. Had a mature buck hot on a doe chasing her through the food plot and in and out of the woods and switch grass. he was running after her and scenting/licking the plant leaves she ran through so fast he almost fell over. At one point he got her into the woods and there were 3 younger bucks all waiting to get in on the action.

October 26. It’s been six weeks since the right weather to sit in the north blind. I had an eventful — but unsuccessful — sit in the blind on opening day. With the rut action, I am hoping to see one of two target bucks tonight chasing does as the have been on camera. It’s a little bit warm, but that is to be expected with the south wind.

First buck walks by during firearms season. Wrong specie however.

 

[trampledbyturtles]

Feeling better by the minute.

 

[Angus 1895]

Still a work in progress, but the mule deer does aren’t that bothered. Pics of deer is standing on the deck.

Waited until it was light this morning to head out. 29 degrees and super calm. November is finally here!
