Well, that was probably the worst opening day that I have ever had!! Saw 1 doe, and that is all. I am going to stay away from that area until rut starts up since there is so much corn in the neighboring properties still. I will just hunt behind my parents house until then. I usually see plenty of deer there!
This was my first time hunting on the ground in a natural type blind. I was not very comfortable. I think that it was because I was worried what would happen if I had a deer come withing feet of me.I kept thinking that I would ruin the hunting spot and such.On the bright side,I have an idea where I can stick a stand in there now.

Well guys, I didn't hunt on Tuesday because my girlfriend took me to dinner and such for my birthday. I did go hunting last night though. I hunted behind my parents house for the first time this season, and it was very exciting. I saw two does, and 3 bucks. I had shots on all of the deer except for one of the bigger bucks. The buck that I didn't have a shot at was probably somewhere around the 120's, but I am looking for something a little bigger than that. I just have fun sitting up in the tree and observing their behavior. All 3 of the bucks were rubbing on almost any tree that they could find, and they were in the area for about 45 minutes. I haven't decided if I am going to sit out tonight or not. It depends if my realtor (my aunt) has any housing appointments lined up for me tonight. Good luck guys!!

Good luck with the tight schedule and getting time to hunt. If I don't have my buck I am also taking a week off the end of October and into November before our General Deer Season starts and everyone pulls out rifles for it. I didn't get a tag for that season so I will bow hunt it with my archery tag.

I've got off the next 2.5 days. Hunt, hunt and more hunting is the only thing onmy agenda. They are talking rain so might get Sunday off as well. The duck hunters have pushed the deer into my honey hole now. Should be a good time if the bigger bucks move during daylight times. I would be out there now but waiting for the wind to switch to the east later todayto huntmy spot.Tomorrow it is also suppose to be fromthe east. I might pull an all day-er if I don't get rained out. Thisshould be a very good spot!!

Good luck to everyone hunting.

Thanks Tim! I got a better feel for which trails the deer are using down there now. I can see my ladder stand in the distance from my hangon, and each of the deer came into the property through the funnel that goes right by that stand! I hope to get out again this weekend, but I am not sure if it is going to happen. I just got a promotion yesterday, so that means work longer and harder!! Fortionately, my boss understands my addiction to hunting.

Tim,
Have you been getting close to the deer that you want to take a poke at? Sounds like you are making more time to hunt now.

Pat,
Hope you get that buck too. I would be happy with the one that you got, especially with the velvet!!


Shoot straight everyone!
