Getting close now and I will again try to give a blow by blow report of this seasons hunts. I just set up a few trail cams a couple days ago, but with out a crop of apples on the trees it will be harder getting a good inventory of the bucks. A visual scouting run at last 1/2 of light yesterday evening showed approximately 50 deer between 2 clover fields a lot of small and borderline bucks and 2 shooters, actually one cause one is a 1/2 rack that would have been a 140" 8pt This year I hope will be even more entertaining and you can see 1st hand that my reports are accurate. I will be videoing from 1st person view using my Go Pro camera
Been watching a big guy in a clover field on back side of one of the properties I hunt.Set up a trail cam today to try and get a picture of him.1 week till kick off
Season opened yesterday still warm here 78 degrees right now but I'm heading in for an afternoon hunt. Not expecting much but will be good to get in the woods I will report as things happen
I'm in my stand I killed the 8 Pt archery buck last year I slipp in undetected This will be a better stand in a couple weeks once the seeking begins In the woods about 300 yards from a clover field they have been hitting Hope to catch something heading to feed right before dark
That was it for this morning This guy showed up on one of my cameras decent buck,boarder line shooter,Need a closer look seems to have good mass but tines are not that long
I am pleased I didn't fall out of my treestand, given that I forgot my safety harness and the wind was blowing the wrong way. And my trail cam isn't working.
But at least I managed to miss the doe that ran in front of me on the highway. And I pulled a giant sticker-thistle from the nose of a Shetland pony.
