Prayers and good thoughts will continue to be sent your way. I will see you in 19 days!

Congrats Timbo on a good hunt and an invite back. Sorry I could not post some of the message sooner. It was also my opening day of hunting and I was in the woods. Good luck on your return trip!

Seems to be working from home now. An hour ago when I got home it was still doing the same thing, but now all seems well. Thanks for checking on it William. Not sure what was going on.

Those are some great deer. thats awesome that you are getting pics that far away of them.

Talk of the town, says this is it. I have no idea though. So dont quote me saying this is the deer.

Temperature. I believe the air temp has way more to do with deer feeding and movement than anything else out there, besides hunting pressure. I also think studying land that is surrounded by heavily hunted land is going to flaw your conclusions.

Yeah, when I have a 3 hour drive to my hunting land and then getting dressed, getting gear thrown in my back pack and heading to the stand. Takes a while. Way to hot this weekend, only saw 3 does and one spike. Did find some nice fresh rubs 30 yards from my stand so that was a good sign. Looks like the first season is over for me, wont be able to get after any Wa deer till end of November and December, hopefully the big boys makes it past rifle season.

I dont know what is/was going on. At home, on a mac, and on my phone, a bb, I was not able to post in any body of a message, only the titles. This morning it seems to be working, but I didnt try on my home computer. Odd.

:poke:

Goooooood Morning. This morning is dragging bad. Going to sneak out of here around noon. Get on the road at 12:30 and should be in my treestand by 4:30. Not going to my honey hole since I will be getting there around the time I have the deer on pics and when I started seeing them all last weekend. Dont want to bump them going on. So, not sure where I am going to sit.

New spot tonight, gotta good feeling boys!

hmmmm....maybe take it away then. If they arent using it, I would hate for it to scare away your deer. My deer come to my water in my tanks and drink all 60 gallons of it in 4 days. It took them about 4 hours after putting them out to use them. Maybe your deer are afraid or something.

Sink the water tank.

I'll donate a prize to the winner of the biggest buck in the contest. I will take you out for 3 days of duck hunting. I will provide transportation from my local airport, a bed to sleep in, a gun and ammo. You provide everything else. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Realtree in any way, shape or form. No guarantee on limits of ducks, but you will have a good time and there is a good chance of killing lots of ducks and maybe Canadas, Snows and Specs.

Are you getting pics of any deer on the cam anywhere else on the lease?

I'm game for whatever on the name. I still like "The Clique". Washing clothes now and packing up gear. Will be heading out again Friday afternoon Saturday and Sunday morning. I hope to sit in the stand all 3 days, but it is bear season and my hunting partner killed a 375lb 6ft bear last weekend where i did some scouting for him. Might try and get out there one morning to get my own. I also have a good friend that is wanting to kill an elk with his bow and I located a herd last weekend, so I might try and guide him as well, so my deer hunting may be cut a little short. Not sure what will happen or what I will do, but I will be out trying to kill something.

2 small bucks, one was 120"ish at 7 yards and one doe. All came in at last half hour of light. Switching to a new stand in the morning. Get em Timbo!

You were like 10 "back then". If it was breathing, had female parts and long hair, you thought it was a hottie! and yeah, I have seen the movie a million times and enjoy it a lot.

Tim didnt leave the stand till 9ish last night. Only saw 1 doe and then had a bear skirt his stand. Nothing else showed up. Pulled the camera card and had a 5x5 170 class buck at the stand the day before he arrived for 20 minutes in good shooting light. He thinks hes going to hold out and continue to hunt that stand for a chance at the big boy. Good luck Tim!

Here is the tree Tim is looking at from his stand. Thats also the tree the trail cam is on that got the pics of those bucks...

Ok, so you agree that the 2 day time pictures are of the same deer. And you agree that the night time buck is a different deer than the day time buck. So, whats your question then? I'm confused.

And/or this one...

I hope so too. He will not pattern at all. Not coming to food sources on a regular basis, not going by any other camera I have up where I have good buck sign. He is for sure a ghost. I've had many of sleepless nights over him already.
