Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live from My Stand 2016

Wow got to love that buck! All Iv got so far was 2 small 6pts a Big 4 point thats breeding and droping fawns like daddy with NO brow times! Cant take him out of the heard because of the 3pt or better per side rule!

Opening day tomorrow but I'm holding back a couple weeks before I deem it opening day for me....

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.

Watch Michigan vs. Wisconsin, hunt tomorrow.....

It's not hard it's smart IMO

Gonna be 85 degrees here today, still too warm!

I'm drinking coffee too and bitching on the 'Fire.

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

LOL, and agreed, gotdang skeeters and horeflies peeve me smooth off trying to stay still and hunt.

I figure the animals here are still mostly moving on both ends of darkness.

What is your deer limit, Dan?

Buck with either bow or muzzle loader
Buck with gun
so total of 2 buck
Doe I can take 6 or 8 depending if I go get more tags

More cam pictures

2nd buck....

3rd buck...

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.....

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....

Good luck Dan.

We took an older buck & doe on the opener for some fresh steaks. Passed on a bunch of does the next couple of days and 2 smaller guys.

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

I'm still waiting...I'll know when the time is right for a full court press

Going to cool down tomorrow. Highs around 60 with lows of around 42.

Game on....

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.
