Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2019

I too am holding back. Good bucka on forums and cell phone messages make it a tough gig. Trying to stay cool for another two weeks.

My area isnt good early so the plan is to stay out and let others screw up their spots, leave ours as a fake sanctuary.

Must say my bow stand is a good one this yr. Maybe even hunt bow through gun.

Thick n nasty creekbottom

I have no cameras. If i did like the OP i dunno if id have the discipline!

Sure you would! In the words of Emil Faber "Knowledge is Good"

It definitely helped me kill that buck last Week... saw him on camera... snuck in the following morning and got lucky.

I like having cameras.
Helps me get picky knowing that there is a bigger one out there. ——- if I have a big one on camera.
This year my top 3 bucks all died of ehd.
Don’t have one I consider a shooter on my property so I’m hoping that maybe a neighboring buck will come in over to my place looking for a doe during the rut.
My other property I did not put out cameras this year but supposedly it didn’t get hit with ehd like my county did.

Current spot is a thicket, end of cover on a creek. Open fields past one end. Bigger woods past the other.

17 acres.

Have islands of woods, some distance away. Deer when pressured will go from one to another. Buck to doe ratio.....hardly any does.....so they move more I think.

No shooters seen on camera two woods over. Three regular 8 points w biggest maybe gross 115.
We have seen bigger deer in gun .... but only see em once.

Popped. 154 and 131 out of it. Saw a 165. Couple right around 125/130.

Buddy aint picky, me neither....115" 8 gets shot. This spot sometimes yields nothing

Never know.

Trying for a P&Y w recurve....time running out

Just always worried that checking cameras would spook em. Idea is to stay put til Halloween. Let the thicket be a bit of a safe zone til then

I just got a picture of the Piebald I was after for a few years
He was killed 2 seasons ago as I reported

Cool buck.

Cool !

Ghost Blind set up for Turk

Turk still hanging but no day pictures

Cool pictures

Man, that place where you're hunting Turk looks like the crap that I'm dealing with. I've got 3 ladder stands set up just inside the woods off the back field of the farm I hunt. They used to just use it for hay. A couple of years ago, a couple of gigantic trees fell across the trail they use to get the tractors back there. It hasn't been mowed in two years and now it looks like that. I used to be able to take 150 yard shots. Now you can't see the deer until they get to the edge of the field.

Hope you punch that one Dan, good luck!

Always thought that ghost blind would be cool but man don’t flash it around for sure on a sunny day.

This is my morning

29 degrees hard frost all these deer were with in 10 yards of me and never knew I was there

Now you know why it's hard to find Bigfoot...........they wear camo.........now go and get the Turk!!!

Thanks for sharing your hunts with us. Very much appreciated.

Great pics with the blind in the trail cam photos.

You'll kill him Dan. Keep at it. .

Hunted all weekend, didn’t see much
