Gill-T

I may have to go to the chiropractor tomorrow as my neck is developing SCS or “Squirrel Confirmation Syndrome “.

Mr itchy has been talking to me again. He can’t understand why I am letting the small buck go by. He may win out today

Small buck just chased a doe by me. Then a bird hunter with dog followed. Love public land...

I use doe in estrous but not as most do. I use it as a nose jammer on my down wind side. I want deer to gently spook from doe scent rather than know a human is there.

Joe, what county did he come from?

After seeing the manner on how my brother”s and Joe”s bucks were taken, I am going to sit on a log at lunch time on a pinch point!!!

First chase scene tonight. Things still percolating despite the heat.

Dropped my grunt tube again!

Wow Joe!!

......and I dropped my grunt call.

I am actually excited to vote tomorrow. Hitting the woods right after

I showed my brother yesterday on a map, a good pinch point to scout on state land. With wind and rain in forecast he decided to leave his climber home and use today as a scouting mission. Luckily he took his bow. After confirming my suspicions about the area with many deer trails and scrapes, my brother sat down on a log to text me excitedly. In mid-text, a ten pointer walks by him, glances twice at him then continues on to check his scrape. My brother arrowed him at 8 yards. He is a 6x4.

If you want to tag a buck right now, spend all day over a scrape. Bucks are on their feet checking at all times of the day.

Just north of Angelica and yes they are open in May. They have a website with all details.

Just got down to Evergreen Trails campground to hunt state land for the next two days. Finding sleeping accommodations in Allegany County can be challenging. These cabins are open for most of gun season. Location is a few clicks south of short tract. Electric heat. No running water. Quarter operated showers. Wood available for fire pit. Charcoal grill. $75 per night.

Rob with all those bucks around and that big one being broke, give the rattling antlers a try!

Mr itchy made me do it!

When was the last time we had such a stretch of wind below 10 mph in October? Could be out trolling!

Sounds like a slice of heaven

I drew back 4 times on a doe this morning. Couldn’t make it happen. Too many random branches in the wrong spot.

Nothing has started yet. The lack of roadkills is evidence.

Now a four point walked by.

Ya, that’s him!

Ok. Signs of life. Just had a spike walk by. Maybe they will move tonight

Second try today for me also. Neighbors are buzzing around on their ATV’s already .... I am going to try and keep my head down and grind but my decision to hunt Akron today is backfiring.
