Had one little doe fawn, walk 2 yards from the base of the tree, didnt see anything else. Plenty of season left so I figured I dont need to hunt all morning.
Anyone do any good this morning?

To windy for me this morning. I went out at 6:30 and sat until 8:00, felt like I was on a roller coaster.

Wasnt to bad up here. Started raining hard last night but must of quit half way through the night.
Went out at 6:30... saw one a few miles from my stand in the dark then had a lone small doe come in at 7:45 ... stayed on the outskirts and never came all the way in. My ass got sore at 9:00 so I left.. Saw 5 different sets of tracks on my way out of deer that never came into my stand area. Think its a better evenign stand than morning stand. Will be headed out around 5- 5:30 ish to a different stand for tonights hunt. |

I think my stand may be an evening hunt stand also.
Where are you located in the state? Wind seems to be calming down, at the temp is about 65 right now, should be a nice night.

I just got in, had 2 does come out, one looked a little gimpy...they were to far out to think about it.
Then on the walk in I jumped one. Hopefully its not to windy/rainy tomorrow morning. I might be leaving end of the week to go bear hunting, it was either p-dog shooting or bear hunting and I didnt get to go p-dog shooting because my grandma passed away the day before we were going to leave. Anyone get anything yet

Went out yesterday sat for 12 hours and all I seen was a bunch of squirrels! I also noticed alot of good deer sign and lots and lots of acorns so there were
some good things that came from it. Who needs bait when ya have plenty of acorns!

Just came back from bow hunting, seen a big buck working along the edge of the field on the other side of me. 100 yards away I could see at least 4 points on
one side of the rack sticking straight up in the air. Then later I got down from my stand it was pretty dark, I stepped out onto the path and there were 2 big
deer about 30 yards from me on the same trail heading my way, they seen me and hissed and took off, I couldn't tell weather they were bucks or does.

Last night I saw 3 about 25 minutes after I sat down, 2 big does and 1 little one, they were "close" only 35 yards or so hanging around feeding for
about half an hour, than the High School band started up, homecoming was last night and I hunt/live about a mile from the highschool. Anyways these deer hear
the Star Spangled Bannar and figured they would head for the woods about mid way through. So I climbed down and walked around the woods a bit, took some shots
at partriidge and some woodcock than went up to the game.
This morning amazingly I woke up, after the game we went out and partied with a bunch of old soccor buddies, we closed the bar down. Anyways I woke up in time to get out in the tree stand before the sun was in peaking. I saw 9 this morning. 2 big does and 2 little ones walked right down the center of the field about 8:00, 10 minutes before that 5 came into view about 300 yards away, one of them was a buck for sure I could see head gear, the others I am guessin were does but who knows. The good thing about hunting fields is you see deer the bad thing is they arent always close. Come on farmers knock down these crops, help me out a little bit.

Saw 3 bucks over the weekend and two of them were in shooting range, 2 four points were 20 yds away and the other buck was a 7-point about 50 yds out. Probably
10 does and fawns spotted throughout the weekend as well. It was a fun hunt and good to get out into the stand.

Seen 3 does all weekend.Kinda disapointed seeing how the farm I am hunting is 250 acres smack dabb in the middle of deer country.The guys hunting the farm
next to us were making noise all weekend by hanging stands and shooting there guns off so I think they had the deer pinned down untill dark.I was ready to go
over there last night and open a can of whoop ass on them .I was hunting inbetween capac, browncity.Going to hunt this stand one night this week and then head
for standish this weekend.Good luck to all this week!
Plothunter,Good job on let them go let them grow
Troy,I thought you were going to start laying the smack down on some of those does? |

No dont come to Standish...there arent any deer up here.
On Saturday I saw a record 23 with 2 bucks between the morning and evening hunt, they just didnt come into range. Yesterday I saw 5, 3 of them very large deer right at dark about 100 yards away. Where abouts do you go in the Dish?

still havent seen anything but im going to work in the up for about a month maybe more.
two jobs up there one by detour and one south of rudyard right on the edge of a big deer yard. only bad thing is lots of bears where i would hunt, good thing is all private. also heard hunting lic sales down about 50% so the state should lose money to. |
