Doofus himself…

Yote went through early. Spooked a group of deer in front of my daughter. Things are still stirred up an hour later. Deer running around all over.

Been a good start to the season. Two does and a good buck so far with the bow.

More tags in my pocket, including a Reduction Zone buck tag, and another state or two to go.

So like I said my daughters filled my freezer (with antlerless deer) …. I said no does… (for me) and I said I was going to hold out for a big buck…. Just because. Well today I got a little too excited… I let two does walk and they were being chased by a small 6 point I should have let him go by but……..

Schwacker hit him like a ton of bricks lots of blood and I watched him drop within 30 yds.

So now …. My daughters will
Need to hunt more this year since they have buck tags lol

The high temps have really stifled the mature buck activity the last few days where I hunt. Trail cam activity was starting to trend up over the weekend through Monday before taking a steep dive as the temperature climbed. If the forecast holds true, the activity should really take off the first part of next week.

I plan on hitting it hard next week. Porch project will be on hold.

So far this year I've only been out twice and seen turkey without a good shot, a doe far off with no shot, and a small buck not worth taking. Hopefully I see something larger soon.

We're seeing the same here. At this point, my hunting partner is trying to shake the "C" bug, we're hoping to be in the stand Saturday evening.

I've got a little basket rack buck on camera occasionally and a couple does.

I plan to go out Saturday. I may take a day or 2 off next week and go as well...next week looks pretty promising weather-wise.

A video of my buck from Oct 20. Thanks for watching.

I'm hoping to get my kids out this year, but our hunting spot is now being turned into the front yard of a house. Hopefully I can find something.

My hunting partner just had to cough up $100k to prevent the same from happening

Connected on a doe in Michigan this morning. Ran about 200 feet and piled up in the fence row. Saw at least five unique deer this morning, which is a lot for this field. But could be due to the corn having been partially picked yesterday.

Our annual hunt has begun and it’s been a great morning to be in the woods so far. Nice young nine pointer and four does have come by so far.

The young bucks are definitely wandering during daylight and we’ve had new bucks show up several times in the past week. Gonna be a good season!

Sat Sunday morning only. Was in stand until about 11:00 or so. Even the squirrels slept in. Slow day.

Treacherous does strike again

Made a difficult call and passed this guy this evening. In the moment he was danger close to getting a broadhead as he stood broadside at 18 yards. Got home and watched the footage and we made the right call but he is right on the edge. Hopefully he makes it through the season, he'd be great to see next year. First deer that's had my blood pumping like that in a couple of years and we were both shivering like we'd fallen through the ice after we moved on. Good stuff, it was a great day.
