Actually I’m just sitting in my tree shaking my head in disgust and disbelief…. again.

Im adjacent to a large plot of public land. And every year this group of people,or hunting club does a drive on it. Now doing a deer drive is an old time traditional method of hunting and I’m fine with that. But these guys doing it by yelling a whooping and hollering as the go. My problem,it’s opening F’ing day! Iit’s three hours into the season. You have all season to do a drive. Don’t be so inconsiderate. There’s other people trying to hunt. (I just heard someone yell at them to shut up lol).

What’s more, kind of the irony, they’ve been doing this for years, 10 maybe 15 years?

Probably the same folks who always complain there are no deer on public land.

Another Saturday with a cool and calm start set to top out in the low 50's with a S-SE wind. A few minutes ago a nice buck walked past at 100 yards. Grunted at him a few times but got no reaction.

Saw a lone doe in the morning and a group of 4 in the afternoon. Strangely no bucks with them, several on camera throughout the day roaming around.

Best I can do is a Mile of pretty Miscanthus

I literally laughed out loud when I saw that. We are nerds

My wife asked me why I just choked. I showed her, she didn’t get it, I laughed again. Gold!

Think she’s about over here. Very little interest from the bucks. Does are comfortable coming out to feed again. Anything can happen with a hot doe but I’m comfortable saying it’s in the downside of the curve around me.
I have doe laying in the middle of a clover plot right now. She wouldn’t have dared to do that last weekend

Agreed it's over for us. There are still a few young bucks trying. Peek for us is Nov 9-15 and this year I will say it was a week earlier.

Did see some chasing last night and this am. Also saw bucks with little interest in anything. So not all the way over but more in the rear view than up ahead.

No way that's walking past my stand and living to tell about it

We got a token Sunday for archery here in PA. I'm ghillied up sitting in an old tree top at the top of a draw between 3-4 different types of woods habitat where they've been feeding on acorns in the evenings. Hopefully one comes in longbow range.

Love that “token Sunday” phrase..everyone else on here is probably like what why can’t you guys hunt Sundays …stinking Puritans

Got the long range pea shooter this afternoon. Pretty obvious by now I have a thing for MG

What is that structure?

 

[Kdog]

We did get a nice what looks to be a 140+ 8 on camera this morning about 150 yards from where my son is hunting, so of course he is staying in the stand all day. It was nice to be able to roll over in my bed at home this morning and go back to sleep.

Just had this little guy at 15 and he had no clue I was here

Transmission tower. Wish it were a prettier pic

 

[Howboutthemdawgs]

This one was tough. Pushing 150 but I’m almost certain he’s 4.5
