Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2023

Rain let up got in my stand wasn’t 5 minutes and I passed on another 8 pt
Deer have been on their feet all day
Hopefully one of the big guys graces me with his presence
At archery only spot near my home…

🤞🤞🤞

That was the only deer for the sit also saw some turkey and a red fox
tomorrow morning I'll hit it again

This was the deer I passed yesterday...He's just not there yet

Hang in there George is that cold front blowing thru up there?

This guys a maybe...

Tomorrow morning no rain and 34 degrees

A doe and 2 fawns and a 6 pt this morning heading back out shortly

I bob they weave. I zig and they zag, Cat and mouse time with stands but over all wind direction dictates a large piece of the puzzle on where I sit
I Had a 5 pt 5 yds from me a doe busting through the woods but nobody following her and that was it for the afternoon sit while there I had large buck showing up at the other 2 properties and while at one of those properties in the morning I had a good buck show where I hunted the afternoon

Morning ...Not there





Afternoon...Not there





Afternoon...Not there

Was just leaving hose and camera went off on archery only property near my home. I was going to a different property but wind has shifter NW and that isn't good for that property. I have localized snow falling here too and not other properties so I'm back in house for a few minutes as it only takes me 2 minutes to get to property and in less than 15 minutes I'm in stand
This is the buck I passed 2 days ago but there is a big 8pt and 9pt there so I'll give it a go

Saw the same 5 pt from yesterday and doe and fawns, the 5pt came by twice 2nd grunting and following a small doe
Of course my change of plan was another wrong call stand I sat yesterday morning and started to head to this am

Heading to that property he's obviously on the prowl


Just now

A small buck pestering a doe in the thickets and a 6 pt was all for this afternoon's sit
Back at it tomorrow

This buck came by at dark on my lease

Slow morning sat till 10:30 am saw 1 doe, back at this afternoon

Saw no deer from stand in afternoon sit....cameras have gone dead for the most part, Early breeding happening right now and things are locked down
Have to wait it out and hope stings start perking again

About 9.days ago in Central Texas, Rio..

That's the right side



That's the left. Just got here. It's gorgeous out tonight.

Had a decent buck run a doe past me this morning.
But I had a blueberry donut in my hand.

Youngest son Tony will be here in the AM tomorrow hoping for some meat.

Can't blame you on that one Pat.

Started this past weekend and saw deer each sit. By Monday had a bad cold and chills but sat in the tree in 20 degrees and snowing. Got lucky and connected half hour before legal sunset.
