Great deer Andy! Congrats! Nice being able to drink hot coffee and look at the wind blow from inside! But I gota admit, feels weird not being in a tree, wish I was! It prime time right now! More and more shooter's will fall in the next few days before they lock down, so stay on them guys the big boys are on the move. First time I think I've said this but can't wait for gun season.
Thanks everyone! A ton of time put on to kill this guy! Was truely a GRIND, but it's my number one passion! Further investigation shows along with his left eye being poked out he also has a puncture wound in his lower neck that is infected. Green and nasty. Have been told they will have hair loss if infection sets in!
Just had a 2 yr old sneak in behind me when I was taking a leak. Didnt know he was 15 yards until I reached back to put the piss bottle in my bag. Almost #2 myself when he took off and I saw rack! Dead down wind of me, ran 30 yards then stopped to make a scrape and moved on with his search.
I have the same issue with the wind on my lease. It's never what it's says it's going to be. Luckily today it is SW like it's supposed to be for a change. 3/4 of a mile walk in today, would've sucked to get here and have it be wrong. 1st rack and a button buck so far
All day in the woods today. Saw 8 bucks, 4 doe, 3 button bucks and one big bodied deer that I was unable to see it head gear. Did hear a buck grunting and chasing this evening also but never got an eye on it. This morning had one hard chase. Back at tomorrow for another all dayer more than likely.
Sat till noon and was covered up with deer at first light then it died. At 10:45 had a doe come through at a good clip with her mouth open. Grabed the bow and clipped on! Instead of monster tailing her it's has a relentless button buck. Sat till noon with no more action. Wife's Birthday so I had to take the afternoon off unfortunately. The GRIND continues in the morning. Good luck to everyone that is perched, should be a good evening!
