No rest for the wicked... Back on stand for the pm portion of today. Young buck on his feet and cruising for honeys. It's amazing with scent control and rubber boots, he still manage to find my walking path in. My tracks in bothered him but walking downwind never did. Amazing nose on these animals. If they had the vision of a turkey and the s*x drive of my ex we would probably never kill one. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes or No??? Who believes it is best to stop a walking deer (with a simple mouth grunt) before taking the shot? Who believes the opposite and shoots them as they walk through? I believe the past few deer I have shot at with the bow have jumped the string and ended with bad results. Thoughts??? Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 11 am 31 degrees SW wind 5 mph Partly sunny Perfect November morning. Weather was perfect and filled with bucks. 2 button bucks, 2 1.5 yo bucks, 2.5 year old, shooter 9or10 point, and a giant. All male deer seen from my stand. My kid saw a few of the same deer along with a doe with fawns. Totally blew a perfect opportunity this morning. After going over the shot multiple times in my head, I believe the buck jump the string. Brutal. He was a stud. Perfect typical 10 with big brows. After further review I do not have this deer on camera. I'll be sulking for the rest of the afternoon. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Don't want to sound like a broken record BUUUTT........... it seems like the perfect day to kill a giant whitetail!!! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 10 am 31 degrees SW wind 5mph becoming breezy Clear skies Close to as perfect weather as you could ask for. Seems like a perfect day to kill a whitetail. Had a doe fawn come through real early. Certainly a sign that does are breeding. Had a shooter 8pt pop out of the corn about 9 am and make his way about 60-70 yards around me. Grunted to him but he wasnt interested. I noticed he had a heavy limp. i could see any visible injury and it seemed to be a front right shoulder limp. Maybe he just had his a** kicked. Just can't seem to close the deal. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Seems like the perfect morning to me!!! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 9 am 37 degrees SE wind 5 mph Cloudy Quiet and cold morning with approaching front at 9 am. Breezy snow/rain mix. Very quiet and still morning. Bumped two deer walking in. Had another go by in the dark. Certainly sounded like some deer moving in the woods this morning in the dark but nothing once the sun came up. Saw that there is two scrapes tore up on my way out. One is my mock scrape and the other is a fresh scrape. Ugly weather front coming. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sounds like an incredible day!

November 8 pm 50 degrees WNW wind 5-15 mph Cloudy skies A few deer tonight. First one was a deer running through and never got a good look at it. Second was a button buck that came in to me blind calling. Third was a big bodied buck but didn't get a good look at the rack because it was dark. Fourth was a single deer I spooked walking out.

It's awesome to get the kids involved. They love it. They love having their own success but they love seeing us in action doing what we love. And of course vice versa. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hunted this morning, snuck out, got some paperwork done, and now I am back on stand for the pm. Got in here about two. Got settled into my stand and realized the wind was WNW. Forecast swears it is west. Got down and walked to another stand. Haven't been in this stand other than one other time this season. Fingers crossed.
