Nothing like bucks chasing does after you get out of the stand at dark Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Turkey down! Had a flock of 12 birds come past the tree this morning. I took a tough, 35 yard shot at a decent tom but only managed to cut some feathers off. When the feathers cleared, this Jake gave me a perfect 25 yard shot. Dead in his tracks! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Dont be fooled by my picture. I wouldnt consider my stand "on the field edge". Its actually in a very unique funnel that happens to have corn within shooting distance (35 yards). But to answer your question... No i dont unless your talking corn fields. Gotta love field corn. Unlike short crops (beans, wheat, alfalfa, ect), corn provides security cover. Deer love that easy walk on the edge of the woods and the corn field.

First morning sit in a new stand that was hung this year. A little bit of action yesterday afternoon from here. A small Tom, doe with a fawn, and a 2.5 year old 8pt. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Saw these videos this morning on Facebook and had to share them http://www.remingtonairguns.com/videos.html

Very informative video Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

observation... Since this rainy cold front showed up, the majority of scrapes seem to be unmaintained. Hot scrapes from a week ago, are all covered in leaves and look washed out. The upcoming change of dryer weather will most likely change that.

They don't get much closer then this! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I headed to Wyoming county this morning for a change in scenery. Only visit so far has been a doe and her fawn. The doe refreshed up my mock scape too. She worked the licking branch and urinated in the scrape. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If the wind isnt right then my advice is to stay out of there. Be patient and hunt somewhere where the wind does work. You will not beat a mature deers nose.

Whether or not your a believer in the October lull, I believe I'm experiencing it. Things have been quiet for me in the woods both from the stand and on cameras. History has shown me that it's just the calm before the storm. I'm expecting next week, things will start to get exciting! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Whats the application? What are you setting up?

Well, no luck for me in North Carolina. Looking forward to the grind of the next 30 days though.

A friend reported seeing 6 different bucks from the stand last night Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

No gene. Private property in wake county, outside of Raleigh. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Slow and quiet day so far. I have only heard about a dozen shots all day. 1 doe for the freezer for my hunting party so far. Cameras have shown better activity in the pm so now we sit and wait. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Would you believe me that's is 7:39 and I just heard my first gun shot of the day??? Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good morning LOU all the way from the North Carolina gun opener! Sitting overlooking an amazing 8 acre clover plot with acorn dropping oak trees inside of it and along the perimeter also and a timed corn feeder on both ends. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My bow was setup by Phil Race of Indian Mountain Archery. He was a huge fan of helical 4 vain fletching. It was designed to get the arrow spinning which helps accuracy and consistent arrow flight. Same theory as a rifled gun barrel. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Food, cover, water. If you have all three then you have deer year round. Food plots are great. I would concentrate on creating prime bedding and then allow it to be an untouched sanctuary Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yup. Gladly part of Phil's "communist" society. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hmmm...Just notice a good rub line from my stand Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
