Little guy walked right past me the other night sitting in the ghost blind. I forgot to turn the flash off my phone though and scared him away taking the picture.
Haha I have done that before I laugh at your little guys........ Those are like the largest bucks I see What do you do for scent control that you don't get winded on the ground that close to deer?
I have a scent lock suit, and take a scent free shower, spray down with scent spray. But even then I do get winded. Most important thing is to hunt the wind. I have a few places I hunt and always let the wind direction make the decision of where I hunt. I have had great luck with that. The last 3 big bucks I've killed I have stayed out of that spot until the wind was right and it worked I got the deer I was after.
It was really dead last night. Only saw two does and one spike all evening and the spike had zero interest in the does. I still haven't seen a single sign of the rut coming on on in spite of all my friends reporting bucks cruising and chasing. Kind of disappointing so far lol
I decided to wait until Thursday, with that being close to the second week in Nov should be really good. Also the moon phase should prompt a lot of movement Thursday-Sunday. And add in the cold weather coming this weekend I think it will be awesome!
Cool, I'm not even really hunting this weekend but I have never really "hunted" the rut before and want to see some action just for good practical experience for next year . I have two younger boys that have never really bow hunted before and am planning on going with them next week on their property to help them out. I went over a few weeks ago and helped them set up blinds and put out corn and have helped them sight in their crossbows so hopefully they can get on a deer and get hooked.
I was out all day yesterday and saw non shooter does in the am and nothing but squirrels in the afternoon.
First hunt over the new food plot. Buck Forge Oat field surrounded by turnips and rapes. I used the decoy and rattled on a button buck. Oh well!
Meant to post this here lol. It was pouring g this morning so I sat in the blind. Only thing I have seen or heard were these two and I can't shoot a spike and that other on is way to small lol
Looks like a real healthy food plot. This year with all the acorns, I have heard a few guys say they ain't coming to the corn. I just laugh at them!
I was out in my stand Tuesday morning. Saw 2 doe and 1 spike and another deer which I didnt get a good look at. The first 45 mins in the stand there was a lot of movement but everything was out of range. Came home with nothing. My friend texted me the day after to tell me a nice 6 pointer just walked by my stand.....not sure if he's BSing me or not.
Just watched a six point break up three does and proceed to run one around.never seen that before really cool. Three bucks and three does have been seen so far.
View from a stand at my buddy's farm. No luck tonight but with the full moon I didn't expect much. Just nice to be out.
