92xj Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Checked my trail cam this past Monday. Third time since I've had it out (touch over a month now) and I don't have a single picture of a deer. Got corn, mineral block and water out but the deer aren't coming to it.

92xj Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Are you getting pics of any deer on the cam anywhere else on the lease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I haven't put the cam anywhere else on the lease. The spot it has been in is the spot I got most of my pics at last year. What's strange is, 50 yards up the road the deer are crossing and some are coming out of the woods and walking through the food plot area (not planted yet) that the cam is next to, which is about 40 yards to the right.

Dawg Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd need a backhoe....digging in this dirt is like trying to dig through concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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.

92xj Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 It takes you 4 hours to get ready to go hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 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.

Rhino Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Back home. Tropical Storm wasn't too friendly to us. A fair amount of trees are down across our interior roads on our place. My chainsaw got a workout...until it broke down yesterday morning. Had a real close call with a tree barely missing one of my stands. I know one guy that lost a ladder stand already. There will probably be more discovered when hunters show up to check them. Got 3 new stands hung and a groundblind built. Pulled 2 cams Friday while hanging 2 stands and making a ground blind on this alyce clover field. No pics of bucks close to the camera but I sure can't complain. Here's 2 pics out of the 575 I got on my Reconyx. I had to crop them out of the pics due to the distance from the camera. The tree with the red dot on it has one of my stands hanging in it. This group of bucks, well there's more that didn't fit into the cropped pics, seems to be favoring the side of the field that stand is on. My other stand is on the same side the cam was set on. In all 3 out of the 7 days the 10 point showed up during daylight hours. Hope he continues that trend. Can't complain considering it was usually another deer or critter setting off the cam since they were closer to the other side. My cam is on the same side checking for activity coming into the E end of this field by my other stand. I'll move it this weekend close to the tree where my stand is hangin that's shown in the pics.

WGumz Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 That one in the middle on the top pic is a wall hanger. I would be happy with those pics. Great looking spot. Something definately to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Those are some great deer. thats awesome that you are getting pics that far away of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I went out to some public land Saturday evening. Scouted a couple of different spots that look promising. Saw 11 deer. Good looking deer you got on cam Al! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 you find a water source out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 If time allows, I'm going to try and run out to some public land tomorrow afternoon or wednesday and try and tag a muley. If not, my next deer hunting will be in Wyoming with Steve B. the first of October for 8 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yep.....the lake. I'll be hunting a drain that leads to the lake. The spot I picked is about 500 yards from the water up the drain but has some oaks which will produce acorns. On the east and west sides of the drain is pine ridges so I got a real good feeling about the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Morning guys, sorry I haven't been on here much, been busy with work and the little guy. We have a couple small buck roaming the property but nothing spectacular like Ben and Al have that's for sure. Ben, I thought you had until the 20th to hunt that monster you have on cam? Good luck with the public land Dawg, when are you sitting? I leave MI Thursday evening with the family for WI. Have a little work to do around the farm (hanging stands, checking cards) and then we're set to sit Saturday morning. Good luck everybody!

92xj Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I do have one more weekend to hunt this early season, but I will be out of town this weekend and cant make it up to the hunting land during the week with work. So, my early season for him is done. Which sucks, but then again, maybe the late season with the snow and rut happening will bring him in or one of his brothers.

Slash Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sounds like a plan, good luck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 That's an interesting plan Cory. Hope the lake drain proves to be as good as it feels to you. Slash...hope your hunt in WI is as good as it was last year. Shoot straight! Bummer your early season is almost done Ben. Before you know it you'll be in Wyoming though. 8 days is a lot of time to get it done there. I did a spot & stalk bowhunt in Wyoming about 12 years ago. It was a blast glassing and stalking them...bagged my muley on the 5th day. Missed on my 1st opportunity on the 3rd day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I can't climb a tree until Oct. 1. I pray we get cooler weather by then. It was feeling darn good last week but the heat has returned and we are back in the upper 90's/low 100's again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer, we've actually got a cold front on the way, mid 60's today through saturday, though i really wish it would snow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, I'm hoping I can get it done in Wyoming. My first priority is getting Dad on a deer and then me. We also have two antelope tags each as well, so hopefully we can get everything filled in the 8 days there. The heat killed me this weekend. Last weekend is was high of mid to upper 60s and lows in the mid 30s. This past weekend the highs with in the upper 90s and lows in the 60s. It was horrible and shut the deer down.
