The time is near to start thinking about putting the boat away and shift from fishing to hunting.
I put my cameras out the day after labor day.
We are in a drought here since late winter and it's taking its ttoll on the mast crop and apples.My areas don't even have a single apple on the trees this year.I will roll with the changes and figure out whats what as things move on.My spots are my spots to hunt and what deer are there are the deer I'll be hunting.Always manage to find a good one worth hunting on one or more of the properties,whether I kill him is irrelevant and another story.
New bow in hand this year Mathews Halon 7 and looking forward to popping its cherry. Season opens Oct 1st but I'll be holding back till mid oct before I start the full court press...

Not a shooter but good picture I have a bunch of him Dan, I look forward to this thread, it's fun to read. Good luck to you this year. What's with the big spot in front of his shoulder? It almost looks like a wound from a car strike or something.

Opening morning and I am sitting on couch drinking gourmet style coffee. What have I become? You and me both, kind of hard to get up after watching the baby all night but tonight I am going after a good one I am watching. I hear we have one even bigger out there but I've yet to see him as I think he travels a pretty big loop.

LMAO. Me too. It will be a high of about 73 tomorrow. I may meet a bud and hunt tomorrow evening. I don't like warm weather hunting one bit though. 6-7 Years ago, it was abnormally warm on opening day also. My buddy Dave talked me into going out. I walked a ways, started sweating, headed straight back to the truck. Drank my beers we had icing down for after the hunt. Then proceeded to drink Dave's also. He stayed out, and saw nothing. He wasn't really happy, but party store wasn't far away and I bought more. Told him he shoulda known what would happen. He said he kinda had it figured

Nice Dan.
I went out last night. Saw 10. Probably woulda saw more if things weren't so thick still. Things are not going to cool off here until the weekend now. I am in no hurry. I don't see many big bucks during shooting hours until the weather cools off.....

Opening morning and I am sitting on couch drinking gourmet style coffee. What have I become? Maybe a smarter hunter? Last fall I sat out the hunt until the friday of last weekend, things were right, weather right, wind right, the buck was around from what we had seen out of the kitchen window.. Went and sat down in the rain and 15 minutes later walked back to the house....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Been too warm. Maybe get back in on Tuesday, supposed to be a bit cooler.

For those who put cameras out, How high off the ground do you set them ? Do you usually put them out around a food source?
I put two out for the first time this year. I put one out by the corn feeder and one by a mineral lick. I sat then about 4ft off the ground about 25-30ft from the food source. I was thinking about putting one over by a bunch of persimmon trees.

What do you think of that camera Dan? After seeing your pic's I may be glad I didn't pull the trigger on one yet. I have a 3 Wildgame, a Primos 46 which is on it's way out and now a Primos 2. I just put that up on Sunday so we'll see this week what comes of it.

I was thinking about putting one over by a bunch of persimmon trees. I put them about 30" to 3'off the ground. 25' is petty close imo but some I have that close. I have some over where trails cris-cross, one at a mineral lick, one at a scrape.

High of 57 today and cloudy. Wind is right. I gotta get my $hit together and get out there. Time to make the donuts. I guess my current mess may have to wait. I swear everytime I rebuild something, I take something else apart.

I just put that up on Sunday so we'll see this week what comes of it. Jury is still out the one is working but some pictures when day/night mode are charging are a bit weak but just on that one camera the other 2 Brownings are working fine,It maybe the lighting where I have it set not sure. So jury is still out I know one thing for sure Reconyx is head and shoulders above everything else. The picture of the deer I passed was quite far from the camera as it passed so it is a zoomed in picture hence the quality of that photo The night photo's I think are pretty darn good for a no flash and the day photos range from passable to very good so for the $ as long as they keep working I'm good with Browning to this point

Well that's good. That transition light does mess with those cameras as far as I have seen. No matter the brand. I can't afford to put a reconx in the woods on public land.

Nothing but squirrels so far today. Full moon, clear skies. Light breeze, and getting warm. Could be a lovely afternoon for a nap, if I don't catch myself.

Had a hen turkey land 25 yard away. She was easily within range, and had a clear shot - but she was in a tree and I didn't feel like sending an arrow off into the wild blue yonder because there wasn't anything behind her for a long, long ways.

Saw 9 tonight. 4 does, 2 yearlings, 2 buttons, and a 1.5 year old six. No shooters, and no shots on the does.

Bright moon, tree frogs, and skeeters. Not typically what I think of as mid October bowhunting weather. Even the squirrels are being lazy.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Too warmish for me still. Looking like a cool down mid to late week.
Hopefully cool down for good just before Halloween then I will hit it hard for the 2 weeks before our rifle season.

Saw a dozen this weekend. No shooter bucks, no shots on does. Gotten damned warm again and will be all week. Cold front to at least cool things off coming this weekend.

I haven't been out at all this season, lots going on at work and at home plus this weather doesn't motivate me at all. Hell, we've got the a/c running now as it was a warm & humid day here.
Hopefully I'll get out Sunday for a crack. If not, no sweat. The good times are RIGHT around the corner.

I'll see if I can dump my pics from the new Primos 2. The pics were really clear. I'm impressed so far. Time will tell before I make my mind up on it though.

Yeah, supposed to be a high of 62 Saturday. I got a big one chasing does along the bean field already.
I stopped by big box store last night to replace my recurve string.
Took the boys with the windfoil tested hairdo's some time to find it.
No price tag on the package.
They ran the UPC in their hand held, and it came back $0.02.
So I took both of the remaining...

Just got permission to hunt a new spot where a good buck has been spotted traveling through..I went there yesterday afternoon and by the time I Lone wolfed up a suitable tree I was soaked through and through with sweat to the point of shorting out one of my hearing aids...Never again, I will wait until the temps drop before attempting that again.

The [bleep] crows are walking past this morning. Not even they want to deal with this wind. Done for today.
Fourth weekend of the season: two so far with high winds, one with remnants of a hurricane, and one rather damned hot.

Almost went this morning but rain and NW wind blowing 17 mph with higher wind forecast I took off my camo and walked back inside. Waited this long may as well wait for the right wind
Think I'll head out now and round up some camera cards

Heading out tomorrow. Supposed to be light SW winds so should be perfect for my chosen stand. May do a bit of light rattling. A buck that went over 200" was killed yesterday not too far away. Looks like he has a bit of a swollen neck so I hope the pre-rut is kicking in. Should be good for the next 2-3 weeks. http://batescountynewswire.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-deer-of-lifetime.html?m=1

I'm stoked now....the piebald I've watched and passed the previous 2 yrs is alive and looking good! No one has seen him since opening day if last yrs gun opening day. Not the best pictures as he slipped out of the pines at 1:39 am and corner of frame but I can see the tell tale markings on his ass going down his hip It's him! ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/oozzgw.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/8x7ghk.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/2gxiwj7.jpg) Last years pics ![[Linked Image]](http://i64.tinypic.com/igw7f5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i68.tinypic.com/zl3wok.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.tinypic.com/zu2rkp.jpg)

Clear and cold here this morning. 37, moon overhead; Orion overhead. Still not happy about the wind, but less than yesterday. Could be a good one....

Dan I made a trip to camp to pull the water lines yesterday. thruway to 81N to exit 49 and back. 400mi round trip. I only saw 3 hit deer and only one was a little buck. They haven't even started chasing yet.

Saw two more small bucks and some does and yearlings. Nothing in range, and nothing shooter class anyway.
Damned nice day to be out, though.

I wish you luck...so far the long island hunting has been slow, although last nite I did see a young buck start to chase a doe so maybe the rut is not far behind.

Nope no toxic wastes or nukes Hunted this afternoon,we had snow in the am that quickly turned to rain. It finally stopped around 3 pm so figured they should be moving. Hunted the piebald property as soon as I climbed in my stand there was 2 8 pt buck at the top of the ridge 10 and 20 yds from the new stand I hung 2 days ago( I'm saving that stand till the crap hits the fan) I saw 3 more buck but no shooters could have shot a 6 pt and a goofy looking 7 pt. wind shifts back to W then NW so lm out of that spot till I get a wind with a south tilt(Saturday it looks good) Here is the 7 pt I could of smoked ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.tinypic.com/novpe8.jpg)

We've had 50 degree temp swings, high winds, heavy rains, the remnants of hurricanes, and basically everything BUT good hunting weather. November is coming, though. Schit will die then.

Love watching the fox in the woods. Thats sure a nice looking one. Will make a nice hide or mount I suspect.
We have a "black" one at the place in Alaska. Kinda cool watching him make his rounds.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Foxes are a "no shoot" for me here, simply because they have a hard enough time with the coyotes, and of the two I'd take the foxes being around.

hell I'd take the 44 degrees without teh deer, that would keep me happy for some time!
Thats a nice buck from the looks of it.
95 here.
I"ve killed my best 2 bow bucks when it was right at 100... ugh, I just ain't hunting when its that hot anymore. I dont' care how big the deer gets(I think)

Dan, I had not seen a buck as of Friday morning. Friday afternoon that all changed. I've seen 10 bucks in the last 3 days, all but 2 were harassing does. Get out there.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Hot weather here 70 degrees saw 2 different 4 pt and a spike this morning. Mr.big walked right past the stand I sat yesterday afternoon but 3 1/2 hours too late! Unfortunately for me the wind shifts to NW and stays that way for the next week according to the weatherman which is blowing right to where the buck approached from ...so I won't be able to hunt him until I get some sort of a south wind...worst weather for archery season I can ever remember our prevailing wind here is normally SW ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/2ypd7pk.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.tinypic.com/2lkfz7l.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/2jcbnys.jpg)

Cool deal Larry...he'd have to be a real good stranger for me to trip the release but it beats sitting home...I checked my cameras on that property yesterday and only small buck and doe and not that many,also jumped a coyote even better  That's the property I shot the fox so maybe the yote is next

I was covered up with deer last night. Lots of chasing and grunting that kept me pinned in the stand much later than I wanted to be. This morning I've seen 1 dink just walking.
Of course that could all change in 10 seconds. Gotta love the pre-rut.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Rong I'm right there with you. I could have 100 doe on my place but the one hot one will be a mile down the road with every buck tailing her. Beautiful morning here, but nothing moving so far.

Not a bad weekend. Had deer freakin' everywhere. Got a nice buck, saw other shooters and should have shot at least one more. PLENTY of does not in heat yet. Next weekend could be epic.

Sorry I haven't kept up past two days short recap Yesterday morning a couple doe and fawns and a nice 2 1/2 yr old 8 pt in the am.After I left the woods at 11am I retrieved my camera cards from the other property that I have not been able to hunt much because of the wind direction. Big 10pt was thru Friday at 6:30pm right in front of stand at last light,then passed thru again at 6:30am Had pictures of 10 different buck from 6:30 am till 10:30 am A very nice high 8 pt right by stand I had a west wind so I hunted it yesterday afternoon,walked up on a half rack coming in then nothing until 6:15 a really nice 9pt slipped out 10 yds from my stand circled in front of me and to the other side of my stand.I decided to pass on him. This morning NNE wind so that property was out Hunted another property.Bumped a deer walking in, Then shortly after light a coyote came thru to far to shoot.I tried to squeak it in but he never committed. Then a single doe that I thought might be hot.Right after a middling 8pt can by at 60yds and a few minutes latter 2 unattended fawns.That was all for the morning and I decided to skip the afternoon as wind was wrong The next 2 days I have the south wind I've been needing so I'm going to put some serious hours in while I can Some pictures I retrieved yesterday ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/2v8h1n5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i68.tinypic.com/o07asy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.tinypic.com/veuc7k.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.tinypic.com/23tmdg0.jpg)

A bit of doe-in-heat lure might not be a bad touch.

Same here Dan. Yesterday was also.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
