Live from the stand thread

Five hours in and I haven't seen a deer. I'm not leaving until I shoot one, it gets dark, or I have to take a crap.
 
Only had a couple hours this morning. After an hour of nothing I used the doe can call and had a 6 point run right in. Only one I saw. Will be 15 degrees colder tomorrow morning, hoping that gets them going.
 
Sitting about 75yds in the woods trying to get them going to food, try to stay out of here until now, EAB has made this thicker the last couple yearsIMG_20161111_150541355.jpg

This stand didn't have a lifeline until today, funny how you get used to using something, I didn't like getting them at first but now I feel funny without one.

In the bedroom tonight been hit and miss passed up a 140 10pt and missed a big 8pt at last light. Yesterday was slow. Took the morning off to hang out with family. Front moving through should be good.

How about a sticky thread where everyone can post some updates live from the stand? Maybe a picture of where you are hunting or deer that are in front of you but are not going to shoot.

With tapatalk it would be fun to follow each others hunts during times you can't hunt or slow times on stand for updates. The warm weather thread updates was fun.

Just don't play with your phone too much and miss that big buck. ;)

Hunted this morning and had a nice 8 come in but he busted me. Grunted him back around to almost shooting range and he just would not get close enough. Just walked off so he might be back. Saw my little fork buddy who shows up just about every day. Hope he makes it. Not seeing much for does

Deer should be moving pretty good. At least they were over night. Lots of car deer crashes during my shift. Good luck to everyone today. Hit one with your bow, not your truck.
 
First hunt of the season!
View for the afternoon:

Throwing sticks yesterday my quarters were much closer.

Since I'm throwing stones today I expanded the view.

Doe came through. She hit a licking branch, ate some leaves off a hedge tree, and pissed off a coon who came out of the tree to growl at her. Looked behind her a lot but nothing following yet...

Not live from the stand, but live from my kitchen window...Lots of activity going on in my plots. New bucks and some decent ones are on a mission. Wish I had another tag, but I'm still enjoying observing. Got a video of a new 9 point. Never saw him before. Proof that this is the time to stay on stand. I think I can make some good screen shots of him...I'll try to post tomorrow.

Third one of the afternoon. All throwbacks so far but it's early.

Covey of quail walked within a few feet of me. Love all the little chirps and whistles they make.
