Washi Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I had three does come in this morning. Two of them looked at my blind for a little bit and started feeding towards me. The third just stared for like at least three minutes and finally she took off and the other two went with her. I've got her number. I found a much better place to set up my blind and I don't think she will see it until it's too late. Just a minute or so before that a deer must have snuck in from behind me and didn't like it either because I heard it run off. It had to have been real close. In the afternoon I could hear deer all around me. Several bucks grunting and even a doe or fawn bleated. They were very vocal. None of them would come in to where I could see them though. Once it got real dark I think I had a coon come up and sniff my blind. Whatever it was didn't seem bothered by the smell as far as I could tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm jealous...........y'all are already hunting. I have to wait til Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sorry about the swing and miss jorden. I've been known to give them a warning shot too. Good to see you, Washi, and the one are already able to hit the woods with your sticks and strings. I still have another 2 weeks of anxious waiting to endure. I have been keeping close tabs on this buck since the middle of July. I hope to have a close encounter with him come Oct. 1st. On my last camera run (set in front of one of my stands) I had 107 pics of him. 2 afternoons he was inside 30 yards from that stand. He's a 10 point that I estimate will go about 140 gross. I changed the CF card and back on 8/30 but thanks to Gustav, I haven't been able to get to that camera since then. I'm heading down to our place tomorrow to change out cards and prepare my ground blind during the middle of the day so I'll be able to hunt this same field with a different wind. After that I'll be good to hunt this buck with anything but a due west wind. Good luck everyone. I should be joining you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 BTW...are any of you taking any road trips this fall? I'm heading to Pike Co., Illinois the last week of October for a 5 days of bowhunting. After that I'm heading for east central Kansas for a 7 day (do it yourself) bowhunt from Nov. 16 - 22 hunting the same property where I killed my booner back in Nov., 2004.

the one Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 It is a welcome sight to see that we have active members on our team. The weather has been tacking a turn for the worst here the last few days. Last week a friend of mine invited me to hunt on some land that has been in his family for 3 generations. I have been asking him for the past three year to show me the property. I has known him for about seven years. Well for the past three years I have been giving him deer quarters. Two week ago he asked me when the season was starting. I informed him the season was starting in two weeks. His reply was that I can’t wait looking forward to some more deer meat. I told Crage you told me several years ago that you had some land in Monroe Ga. about 32 ac. That nobody hunted and you would like for me to start hunting it to control the deer. Then I said the only way you are going to get any deer meat from me this year it will have to come off or your land. Well to make a long story short last week in invited me to the property. I almost passed out when I seen it, deer heaven 32 ac. of untouched land including pound. Mixed woods, thickets, acorn orchard, water and no one has ever hunted this land. I told him that I only wonted to just look around for a little bit not to alert the deer if any were on the land LOLOL. I only made it 30 yards into the wood line before is started seeing rub and deer signs walked another 20 yards walked up on a family of deer and they just looked at me like to say what the **** are you doing here. Well I will be hanging my stand tomorrow and hunt it for the next few days. Oh the good thing about this location it’s only a 45 minute drive from my home and I have the whole place to myself.

Washi Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Washi if U can leave the blind in the wood give the deer time. Then the dlind will be no problem. I don't want to leave this blind. It was pretty expensive and it's the only one big enough for me to bowhunt out of. I do have an old blind that I can't use anymore. I've thought about putting it up and leaving it and either taking it down and putting my good blind in it's place or just setting up next to it. The only problem with this is I like to hunt several different places on a few properties and I don't have and could never afford blinds to set out everywhere. I even thought about getting some camo fabric and PVC pipe and just setting up a square of this fabric about the size of the blind and setting these out in spots I'd like to hunt. I've found the best way to hide the blind is to just tuck it up under low hanging branches or into a patch of brush or weeds that are thick and hopefully taller than the blind. Many times there isn't a good spot like that where I know there are deer coming through so I just set up as best I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the one Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Washi I have made blinds out of chicken wire then cut tree limbs and tie to the chicken wire. I have about 20 of those blinds around and they work very well if you get a chance try it you can make around 7 to 8 blinds with one roll of wire. I use metal french post for the supports the kind they use to install bobwire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Washi I'm old school so the only blinds I use are natural blinds for the most part. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours building one for a different wind to hunt that 10 point. All I do is choose a spot with some natural cover and then cut limbs, etc. and build the blind using nothing but electrical tape to attach the limbs to one another and to the natural cover. The shooting windows are small gaps left set and clipped out with the edges fixed up with electrical tape where needed too. I wish I had taken my camera with me to snap of photo or 2 of the finished product but here's one from a few years ago. I also use some netting that matches my camo to put on the back side to blend in better. It also makes it easier for getting in from the back side. That way you don't have to brush up the back side either. With the leaves turning brown and your back side netted up to blend in deer don't have a clue you're in there. I've had deer so close to me in these natural blinds that I could reach out and touch them and they never knew I was there. These pics were taken a couple of weeks after I built this blind so the leaves on the cut branches have already turned brown. They generally don't turn loose for several months. Sometimes I add a few to fill in gaps when I hunt them too. Here's a view from the inside looking out. BTW, thanks for checking in Josh.

Washi Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Those do look quite nice. The only problem is the property that we hunt the most has cows on it all year. There are not really any spots with enough cover to start a blind like that. Maybe a few. The cows eat or knock down anything below about 4-5'. Part of the reason I don't leave my blind is I think they would just destroy it. I think I'd have to go with the chicken wire and posts. They might even destroy that.

Guest Andrea Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Washi could you put cattle gaps around your blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
