Legacy

Just sat down. Fresh set. Hung it to take advantage big the near by apple trees and field access. I get settled in. 4-5 minutes. It's literally raining grapes. Three raccoons in the very top of my tree eating grapes. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

October 5 am 45 degrees ENE wind 5-10 mph Mostly sunny Crisp cool fall morning Certainly a picture perfect October morning to be in the woods. All the deer movement was before legal shooting time. Three deer seen this morning. Turkeys, raccoons, and a coyote gave me some entertainment also. Noticed two scrapes today both within 15 yards of the stand.

8 toms and jakes along with a small doe feasting on acorns Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well I never thought I was going to hunt today with today's work schedule but I made it. 30 minutes or so earlier would have been nice but I'll take it. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

October 3 pm East wind becoming west 5 mph Cloudy Misty Deer every where tonight. 20+. Most does and fawns. Couple of small bucks. They were loving apples. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Apparently apples are on the menu tonight. Year old buck chewing on some under the other apple tree on the property. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Deer are already on their feet on the far end of the field and I'm guessing they are destroying the apples. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well once again the forecast has changed from the morning perdiction and I am back on stand for the pm portion. Wind is scheduled to flip 180 degrees while hunting (east to north to west) leaving me only one set that works. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Got all my chores done!!!

October 2 pm 57 degrees NE wind 10 mph Cloudy Rain ending Well I was on the x tonight. Covered up in deer for most of the sit. Young bucks, does, fawns. All feasting on the bounty in the woods. Definitely a lot more acorns dropping in there than I initially thought. Heard them dropping the entire time I was on stand. I think the lack of acorns on the ground when I scouted was purely based on the deer and squirrels scooping them up. About 640ish I put eyes on a stud 9 point that I have on camera for the past couple years. 140+. I never saw him until he was about 35 yards away because of all the foliage. He seemed like he was going to give me a perfect opportunity to chuck an arrow at him. I repositioned myself slightly as he got behind a clump of trees. Of course the doe to my right busts me grabbing my bow, blows and takes off. Buck stops in his tracks behind the tree and literally stands there for thirty minutes. Thirty damn minutes.... Literally ran me out of daylight. Needed one more step. What an encounter! Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I see antlers.... Little buck just emerged from the bedding. At least I know what they look like again! Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well with the weather I wasn't planning to hunt at all today. What do you know, the forecast changed and so did my plans. NE wind has me sitting on the best oak flat that I have to hunt. Deer in two different fields on the drive here and also bumped two in the soy bean field here on the walk in. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Congrats Joe! First blood award!

October 1- bow opener SW wind 5 mph Partly sunny 69 low 88 high Well what can I say... It was great to be in the woods this morning. Hunted a brand new stand. Lots of fresh sign around. It has all the makings of a great spot. Inside corner, standing corn, three apple trees, Creek bed. Slow morning. Had deer come through the corn this morning but it was way too early to see them.
