Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2022

You definitely have more patience than I do Dan.

Hopefully start sitting this weekend. Week before Halloween really heats up around here.

It's been unseasonably warm(in the 70's) and cameras have been very slow but last night they perked up a little. After Wed. temps drop and I'll be in a tree for the 1st time this season
This guy showed up again last night









A couple other buck that were moving last night

Wow, went out this afternoon, nothing moved but it was 69, even a few Skeeters out! Sposed to cool off again.

1st sit of the season this morning, hunted new archery only spot near my home
Was good to be in the woods saw 1 deer this 6 pt

Just picked up my mount form last years Railroad buck

Nice Dan. Who did the work? Most of the taxidermists I used to know are out of business or dead now.

American Wildlife Taxidermy in Hamlin

Good sit this afternoon I sat in same stand I killed my buck from last year
saw 3 doe, a spike watched a 5 pt grunt and make a scrape then had a nice 120'' 8pt pass right in front of me and hit the scrape the 5 pt had just made
I gave the 8 pt a pass

Back to property near my home this morning frosty and cold 29 degrees. I passed on an 8 pt that had short tines but was a big bodied deer and all rutted up
He came right in to a scrape 20 yds in front of me. Saw a 5 pt and that was it

Is that Canadian?

I made an error in judgement this morning and instead of hunting the property near my home I changed my mind and headed to my lease
Another zig when I should have zagged
This buck showed up in front of both my stands this morning along with 4 other buck at one time or another and there was some chasing of doe going on
I'm headed in there this afternoon and if need be tomorrow morning
I did have 2 different 8pts pass below me on the lease the 1st looked like a shooter

Actually, that's aussie slang for beauty !

Things have slowed up with the unseasonably warm weather not much to report the past couple days a couple doe is all
Guy across tracks from my lease hit an 8 pt late yesterday and I got a call it ran on to my lease. I went this morning and helped him look but no luck seemed to be a muscle hit very little blood and the deer never beded.I hated having to tramps through my property I've stayed out of but felt it was the right thing and may need it reciprocated some day

Couple pics from a carded camera

Been real slow here too Dan. Ive been seeing deer but other than a couple rubs that appeared overnight you would have a hard time knowing it’s the end of October here. I’m headed to Ohio for 2-3 days. Hopefully I can fill a tag there and things will pick up when I get back.

Best of luck
Afternoon hunt was a skunk,cameras pretty much dead warm weather,I'm not going out this morning

Record high temperatures this weekend…..sucks.

Hunt last evening, never saw a deer, saw a few after dark on my way to the house. Sure don't seem like end of October. Happy Hunting

Same thing I hear from my pards about my all days sits.

They say they can't do it. They hunt for a few hours in the evening and mornings then sit around the house.

Just as easy to stay up that tree as it is to sit at the house. Never killed anything from my couch!!

When they start moving about last week I only have about 2 weeks before that rut kicks in and things get very slow, may as well capitalize while I can.
