Legacy

Change of plans... going at first light tomorrow. Last thing I want to do is go after it too fast. Didnt see him go down and of course he went back into the thick stuff. Going back tomorrow morning at 730.

The shot looked great. Broadside. About 2/3 down. Not a pass though. He ran away back into the woods with my lumenock in him. I'm gonna sit until dark and sneak out of here. Come back in a few hours

Oh I just stuck an arrow in him!!!!

I will probably smile if I kill that buck

Good luck to you also!

In the deer woods again today for the pm shift. I haven't been in this stand since I shot a buck on the last gun opener. I have had a stud walking during shooting light the past two nights here. Wind is perfect for this set. Fingers crossed.

October 16 pm Cloudy North wind 10-15 Great night on stand. 22+ deer seen. Seven bucks with one stud, one possible 2 year old, and 5 one year olds. Lots of action. Saw some doe bumping. Heard some grunting. In the end I just picked the wrong stand. Hoping to be out tomorrow afternoon.

Found this on my walk in. Coyote kill??? It's neck has been pulverized.

A few deer sighted since since 330. Just had a couple of young bucks pass by. Cameras started getting active about 420 or so.

Just an observation... When I was walking in I noticed that Scrapes were tore the hell up. One of which I can see from the stand. I "freshened" up my mock scrape as I walked in also which looks like it's getting hit also. Wasn't a leaf in it and it's been a week since I was here.

Well I got out of work early today so here I am in the deer woods. I had 3 different mature bucks on camera on this property yesterday pm and all 3 in the last hour of shooting light. Let's hope they do the same thing this afternoon. Perfect wind for this set (NNW) so my fingers are crossed.

As Im sure most of you do, I reach for my phone in the morning and check camera pics as soon as I wake. The wind and rain have activity crawling here this am in the dark. However the past 3 days I have seen a huge uptick in movement. Tons of new bucks showing up. For a minute it seemed like I didnt have a lot of young bucks around and boom, they are here now. Bucks of all sizes and age classes have blown up my cameras. With that being said I also have had 5 different sparring sessions caught on camera in the fast few nights along with some young bucks chasing does. Things are ramping up and its getting frisky in the woods.

Dont knock it to you try it...

Hmmmmmmmm... Look what FedEx just delivered!

Damn. Congrats!

Nope, I still havent caught anything. A little bit of a slow start to the season for me with only one sit so far. I was hoping to get out this morning but the rain had better ideas and scared me away. Im hoping in the upcoming week (tues or weds) that my schedule will change and I can get in the woods. I have been doing my best to get ahead with work so I have free time during prime time.

No doubt the past 24 hours have been the most active my cameras have been on the season so far. The typical doe/fawn pics along with a ton of buck pics. Bucks of all ages including a couple matures. 3 different buck sparring sessions. Im curious to see what the movement is during the first couple of hours of daylight. I did have one of my targets on camera yesterday morning in daylight.

Congrats everyone

The new set...

So I have multiple good bucks daylighting past one of my stands. Mostly PM visits during the daylight. There has been am visits but Im reluctant to hunt the mornings because Im not sure exactly where they are coming from and my approach is in that direction. The issue is I can only hunt the stand on a north wind. So today I went in and hung a new set about 60 yards away that I can hunt on a SW wind. I was hoping to get in there tonight but I past with the rain in the forecast.

No doubt a high probability morning... wishing I was in the woods instead of heading to work!

Damn the bucks were active overnight!!! I figured with the wind yesterday they would be. Cameras blew up after midnight!
