Still getting ready setting stands and monitoring movement...still too warm and early to get rolling but soon it's about 2 weeks away unless I catch a cold weather front before that Retrieved a SD card from a carded camera today from another property there is potential ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J4cXHRdc/Riga-mule.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/T3gr9rwm/Riga-9-21-21.jpg)

I have been taking long hikes in the local experimental forest to stretch my legs. Not even thought of carrying my bow yet as it is still way too warm and muggy for me. When I have to wear some deet to get by and ring out my t-shirt it is still way too warm in cheeseheadville! Good luck to all you arrow slingers!

This one was the size of a flea which is what I thought it was at first I've never seen a tick in northern Michigan in October before.

Treating one’s clothing and boots, along with your pack with permethrin spray will keep the little bastards off; it actually kills them if they get on you. I’ve not had a single one on me since I began using it a few years ago. They remain active here pretty much year-round. If you sit on the ground or handle a deer with them on it, they will find you.
Have always bought the Sawyers brand, but recently went with a gallon jug of multi-use (including clothing) that was a lot cheaper. A treatment lasts about six weeks or six launderings.
A tick bite can really mess up your life. The Lone Star tick is expanding its territory and one consequence of a bite can be an intolerance for red meat. My vet had that, and though it usually gets better, it ain’t what a feller with a freezer full of venison needs.
FWIW, the doe I killed a couple of weeks ago was tick-free, unusual here.

First sit of the season yesterday afternoon...I didn't hunt the new stand I set up near the big deer I'll now just call Hoss Had some good activity on my trail cameras near spot I chose to sit on this other property Saw 2 doe on neighboring property and nothing else came through but at around 6 pm camera went off and there is Hoss he came in front of camera and walked right towards my stand, the direction he approached from would have be good with the wind I had yesterday....and so the cat and mouse begins! I skipped going out this morning as I want to hunt Hoss in the new stand in the afternoon Truth be told after I saw him come through again yesterday I asked myself why am I even hunting here I need to give Hoss the old college try Pictures from a carded camera next to stand I sat yesterday afternoon ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gj4wCLb8/riga-10-16-21-a.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dQ9TkpZ3/riga-10-16-21-b.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/jjNDsFrs/riga-10-16-21-c.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/k46fX9g2/riga-10-16-21-jump.jpg) Hoss coming through yesterday afternoon and heading to my stand while I was else where ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tgrM42dM/hoss1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/0QFXpjBG/hoss2.jpg)

Well was an exciting afternoon hunt I had Hoss 40 yds from me but no shot
Saw 6 different buck and 2 doe
Hoss came out following 3 smaller buck but they came out behind my camera and just out of reach ,actually I could have killed the 1st two buck but the 3rd one and Hoss had brush obstructing them
Wind should be right tomorrow afternoon again so I will hunt that stand again
Great fun all in all!

Those are WAY better pics than I get on my cameras. hahaha
Getting a little here in MS now. Taking off tomorrow and Monday so I should be able to get at least 2 days of hunting in.
Need to put up new SpyPoint cameras and a few more camp chores to get things ready for the seasons.
Keep the pics coming!
Whether you tell yourself you CAN do it.... or you CAN'T.... you're correct.

Well it happened at about 5:45 pm I got an arrow through Hoss I found blood and then the arrow about 40 yds from hit sight I had a slight quartering towards shot I waited 20 minutes went to hit sight found some blood but no arrow followed trail and found arrow I tracked for less than 100 yds and left as it was getting dark and there is a lot of standing water I have a tracking dog meeting me at 7:30 am due to all the water and rain I suspect 1 lung and liver Fingers crossed here is the arrow looks very promising to me ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Dz7pR6R1/2-AF3661-C-EE93-4220-9611-918-F46-C53-DF8.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/0QQWyQkQ/9500-CE7-C-898-F-46-C5-93-FE-829-D7-EADF699.jpg)

George -
Next time wear a grunt call around you neck and once you stick them blow it hard and they will stop and look for the buck that just poked them.
If they start walking grunt again slower but loud enought for them to hear you.
I’ve watched many, many deer’s heads wobble, they lay down and die right in sight of my stand…. Freaking cool, and you don’t have to worry about tracking them.
Works like a charm.

Good deal Dan. Hope you find him before the coyotes do.

For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Congratulations on a fine deer. Thought by the amount and color of blood you would have found him sooner. How far total did he travel? Might have to rename him Hobo Buck even though he is a Hoss.

all my best bucks were not seen prior to their demise on either camera or in the flesh. You never know what's going to show up once the rut really kicks in. Here's hoping he sticks around for you Dan.
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.

Just catching up on this thread. More fortunate than the dead buck narrowly clearing the train, he escaped Bubba. A buck within easy sight of the highway wouldn't make it through sunrise down south

Well it was my typical opener Had good deer movement early 2 small buck,2 doe and 2 fawns and then at 8:30 am the neighbor blew up the pines not more than 100 yds from me I sat put till 10:30 am and then decided to go to the lease Nub had already passed by my stand earlier while getting to my lease my camera goes of back where I just left I get a picture of this buck 20 yds from the stand I just left ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gJH2q9pR/10-pt-opener.jpg) I had some coffee with my cousin he had Nub cross the road and pass by him but as he did with his bow he gave him a pass I eventually decided to go back to the property I started at as that buck that showed up wasn't either of the 2 or 3 target buck 45 minutes after arriving and getting in my stand I get another picture of Nub going by my stand again ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RhvQXzHz/nubdd2.jpg) Eventually poor Nub wandered of my lease and to the property behind it and he didn't get the same courtesy that he'd been extended earlier ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/m2J1rsg2/nub-dd3.jpg) I saw no deer the remainder of the day Yesterday I hunted till 11am saw 2 small buck and that's it Deer are locked down pretty good I'll monitor and hunt accordingly

All day sits this time of the year.
Have said it recently in thread on here, 5 of my last 6 bucks have came between 10:30 & 2:30.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

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.

Just got some bad news yesterday, the property I just killed that buck on has been sold and is closing on Dec 2nd
Appears that was my last hunt ever on the property I've been hunting that property since 2009. I would have purchased it but it was way over priced for what the actual value or resale would have been(it's been for sale for 4 years)
So that's 2 properties I've lost this past season, I'm down to my lease and the property near my lease I killed Hoss on. We shall see what else I can find during this coming year
I'm disappointed but figured it was going to happen sooner or later. I feel blessed I had 11 and 12 great years of hunting on those properties

Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there myself. I learned to bow hunt on a neighbors property. I was a pretty slow learner and about the time I started to connect some of the dots, a family member purchased the land, fenced every inch of timber and ran several hundred goats through it and destroyed it for whitetail hunting. I’m in a better situation now. I just have to look back and be grateful for the time I had there.
