Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Sunday was a perfect morning with leaves at their peak as far as I could tell. Like Teal, we fixed up a few stands and put up a few new one. But the woods are about ready to pop off next weekend I think. Rubs and scrapes all over. But most of the buck movement looked like it was still happening at night.

So far this is the biggest one we have seen around. I expect that to change this week.

These are from a spot I call the "Double Ladder" because...well, it's a double ladder. It's the stand Jack shot his first deer from and has still been one of our most productive for deer sightings. But nobody has ever shot a buck from it.



This is just to the south of the Double Ladder


This was just out of bow range from the Double Ladder. For the first time ever for me, I hung a scrape dripper on a mock scrape I made closer to the stand. I plan on bowhunting it if we have a W or NW wind later this week.



We put up a new blind in a spot the kids found a small scrape at a few weeks ago. I pissed in the scrape when they found it and they laughed at me. We went back to check it and see if it was worth the time to set up a blind.
Here is what we came up on.


Needless to say the blind and a camera went up. That's about 40 yards from the new blind. I could rip one out there with my bow but I'm hoping it will be a closer shot before it gets to the scrape to check.

Here are a few trail cam shots from other spots.
