Good luck to everyone! Unfortunately due to a medical issue I had to take quite a bit of time off last week, we don't have any sick days at work so I had to use most of my holidays, looks like I won't be hunting the whole week now. Depending if I have to take tomorrow off or not it'll only be a 2 or 3 day hunt for me. Pretty bummed out. :( Oh well, could be worse I guess, health comes before anything.

Yesterday was one of the best hunting days I have had in a very long time. My daughter joined me in the stand and while in stand we saw our first deer together and it was a dandy buck but it was about 100 yards away and going away from us. On the way out from the hunt I got to the road and here was three big bucks with three does heading to the property that I hunt. If they only came in earlier. It was just nice to see deer this time. Here is our look and then us in the stand.

My buddy across the field from me ended up getting this big boy a couple days ago and brought him by the house when he got him. He is 15 points and neither of us has ever seen this deer in our area. Hope more of his buddies come around just like him. Congrats to Jason.

Sweet buck bud. Bet your buddy was thrilled.

I did get lucky and score a doe this weekend. But my buddy took the pics with his camera and ended up taking the camera with him back to work(8 hours away).

I'm not too worried. In the past 10 years, I don't think I've ever shot less than two deer in a season.

Plus, I've got two straight weeks off the first of November that should hit the rut perfect.

Well I could of shot a very small yearling but I passed. I had three yearlings and a huge doe but she did not give me a shot. Better luck later. I gonna try to get out in the morning if the storms dont hit to hard. Here is the picture of the yearling with my iphone when the little fella was walking out away from me.

I went waterfowl hunting saturday A.M. then it was raining in the afternoon and evening.I went out this A.M. and when I got to my treestand I found a guy in it.I told him to stay there,I went to anther spot.The more I thought about it the more p.o. I got.I text a picture of the truck to my brother and he said it was the land owners neighbor[he has his own stands in the woods to hunt].His stands are no good with a south wind.I text the land owner and asked him to tell his neighborthat I would appreciate it if he stopped hunting my stands.I don't hunt in his stands and stay out of that area.I have put alot of time and money at my spots to let anyone other than the land owner and my girlfriends son hunt them!Sorry for venting, I hope everyone else had a better day!

Only got to hunt twice this past weekend. Nothing really much to report. Spooked a doe walking in Saturday evening. My buddy that was hunting about 500 yards from me on my family's land, saw a monster buck at about 2 hours before dark. Thought it was walking my way, but it wasn't.LOL

Sunday morning we both got skunked.

This Friday and Saturday is our Youth hunt so I'll be in a stand trying to get my 9 year old a deer. If he can get lucky and tag one Friday morning then I'll be hunting the rest of the weekend.

I agree. I passed on a few littler ones last year and ended up not getting a buck at all last year. I did get two does. I have 7 shooters running this year so that is a plus. Not even the ones that my camera has not taken pictures of so I hope that it will be a good year. I want one for the wall this year.

Yesterday i Spooked one of my hitlist bucks walking to the stand. 140 class 8 point bedded 10 yards from my stand for no reason other then he decided it looked comfy i guess lol. Tonight had a young deer come in but he wasnt very big and definitely not a shooter. Tomorrow its supposed to rain so hopefully it'll get the bucks moving
