Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live from My Stand 2016

afternoon hunt was much better,had chasing,grunting and saw 9 different buck
Only two I could have killed were a spike and 7 pt everything else was either out of range or flying by on a doe
Did see these two buck though

I was going to ask why you're awake at 3 am. But now I see why.

Fell asleep at 8:30pm last night so up early unfortunately(for hunting purposes)I had to be on job site this morning but getting work cleaned up now and I'll be back in that stand a little later.Wind shifts tomorrow and I finally get the South wind I need to hunt the piebald and monster 10 pt property its going to get warm here after today but I can't control the weather so I'm making the best of it.

Got to stand at 10:45am
12:05pm two doe come running 5 yds from me
Grunting follows and the goofy little buck with the drop tine coming out of his eye comes right past me
In for the duration nice to see it's not in vain

Saw 2 doe before dark that was a long day 8 hrs in stand
Camera showed bucks chasing doe at 7:30 am this morning

Keep after it Dan...

Back at it this morning nice and cold this morning 33 degrees but then we warm up to near record high for today and tomorrow...mother nature isn't cooperating this fall

55 Here at 10:00 am going to 65 not good rut weather!

Wind was FUBAR swirling from every direction
I saw two fawns a 1/2 rack spike and 6 pt could have killed them all...nothing busted me but I left at 9:00am as I just wasn't feeling good with the wind

A spike horn and a doe being chased by a buck this afternoon buck wasn't a shooter but don't know how big it was as the area Im hunting is thicker than a 70's pornstar's bush

Spikes. I hate them.

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

Forecast change SW wind Saturday morning,Monday and Tuesday so I have a punchers chance

Down pouring rain all morning and afternoon if it lets up I may try to slip out late afternoon but wind wont be right for my best two areas but may take a flyer on 3rd property that I don't have anything worth while on cameras ...rut may bring in a stranger

Stranger Danger!

Had my first NYS black bear 40 yards behind me last Saturday morning. Too far and too much brush but a thrill nonetheless!

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

Saw 4 buck yesterday afternoon 2 spikes a 1/2 rack 6pt and a very nice 8pt buck 110-115ish that I passed on
At least my ticker got pumping for a couple seconds
This was the buck

Get'm Dan! Good luck this weekend.

Unfortunately the wind direction continues to screw with me
Supposed to be SW but is straight out of the W
I'm running out of season and can't hunt where and the deer I want
I'll make due and go to another property I guess
I hunted yesterday 9 am till noon saw a 5pt and another 2 1/2 yr old 8pt
