Legacy

Back in the same stand that I hunted last night and had the encounter with a big 8. I hunted here this morning also in the wind and rain and saw him again. Scent checking does in the field. I've seen four other bucks here too but all of them have been first year racks. Just had one come through ten minutes ago.

I think I need deer with names... or maybe they have names but i just don't know what they are. Hmmmmmmm... the big 8 from last night's sit should be named lucky. Lucky I blew that chance!

Beats working!

Great night in the freshly cut corn. Blew a chance at a stud 8pt. He was scent checking and bumping does in the field. Gave him one good grunt and he came right to me. Unfortunately it was to my right side and downwind side. Never got a chance to get a shot off and he was 22 yards!!! He slowly made his way off the field. And ten minutes later does began to pour in to the field. He returns to the field and passes my stand at 50 yards. He scent checks the two nearest does (both doe fawns) and then enjoys eating corn for the next 25 minutes 50-65 yards from me.

Congrats longspur

Well the combine has left the field and it took one minute and fifty two seconds for the first deer to show up.

Congrats esox!

Watching the combine cut the corn from the stand. Hoping they are done soon. Four deer in the field as it's being cut.

He said.... "Stand please no is cool" Maybe he got into your Miller lites!

Covered up in deer since I got in here this morning. Had a buck cone through in the dark and bump the does near me. Grunting up a storm. Came all the way in grunting and and walked away grunting. Obnoxious. Had a young 4 pt come in and scent checked every ounce of acreage. Took him 20 minutes and hes passed by me three times so far.

Not a whole lot of action tonight. I did see a 1.5 year old buck chasing a doe. She brought him to the base of the tree and begged me to shoot him.

Matt must be sleeping in the stand by now!

Took a five hour hiatus for work but I am back in the stand. So what did I miss while I was gone?

I may have to give this stand a shot this afternoon. I believe I'm surrounded in bedded does. Does and doe fawn to the east and two does with 3 fawns to the north.

1.5 year old buck cruising through...

Looks big enough for me!

Chasing! Does and fawns all over the place but not seeing who's responsible.

As good as it gets! SW wind has put me in one of my favorite spots! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

First visitor to the swamp stand was a 1.5 year old 8 pt. Hopefully that's not all tonight.

My father in law took a 3.5 year old 10 point this am from 9h. He had lots of deer moving. 13 including three bucks. Old guy strikes again.

I would gladly except help from lady luck at this point...

Good luck!

These are the days we hope for in the off season. Seems like the perfect day to put a tag on one. So far two bucks on their feet.

Well all of tonight's action happened after 6:05. Doe w 2 fawns, small buck and a 3.5 year old. Passed a shooter 8 pt who showed up tonight with half a rack. Lucky for him. I'd like to see who's busting racks on this property.
