Tim Andrus Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 What can I say... we were covered up with deer all morning. At one point we had a group of 7 bucks come out 140 yards away and 2 more shortly after, total of 32 deer in the field at one time. All together we saw close to 50 deer this morning, but the shooters were out of range Once again, that's hunting. We are right in there, its just a matter of time before one of them makes a mistake. We couldnt help but laugh when the black cat showed up. Will go after them again this afternoon! Going to the same set we were in last night.

Turkeygirl Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Loving reading this thread! Keep at it Tim! Sounds like plenty of deer! Just gotta wait for the "moment". Say a little prayer from your stand;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tim's in the same stand he has been in the last 2 evenings. This is a rub that is on the property...nah, there's no big deer there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Well, luck took a turn for the worst. Clint spots a shooter at 40 yards. The deer beds down and Tim and Clint put a stalk on it. Clint then starts throwing rocks to get the deer to stand, nothing works or happens. Tim turns to tell Clint that the deer must have got away and in the process of turning, 3 140 class bucks jump up from Tims left at 35 yards and bolt! No good!!!

92xj Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Tim, here is your hourly forecast for tomorrow. Sorry its a little blurry. That cold front is going to start coming through in the afternoon and evening. Tomorrows highs are upper 70s and lower 80s, Tuesdays are in the 60s! Also, I will be up bright and early, so text away when you get time and set up. Good luck my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Andrus Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 To say tonight wasn't frustrating would be an understatement. We were surprised to have even 1 buck bedded there, let alone 3 shooters. Our plan kind of worked, but the bucks didnt just stand up they just bolted I was at full draw the whole time thinking they would stop , but no chance.... Not 10 minutes later 4 doe popped out and acted like nothing was wrong. They feed to the west as a few did the previous night ... About 600pm one of the bucks we believe were on of the ones we spooked followed the same trail and headed to the west ... after seeing one shooter last night do the same, against better judgement we decided we are going to get more aggressive and move the stands closer to that trail that they used the past two nights. The weather is still warm, mosquitoes are still biting along with one bee that stung my hand tonight, and I am getting no sympathy from Clint because I even had to cook dinner. Tomorrow morning we are going to the same set that we have been on the past two mornings. The first morning a group of seven bucks were 150 to our right, this morning they were 150 yards to the left, so maybe tomorrow morning they will be in our lap. This has been a good hunt due to the fact that we are seeing shooter bucks every sit and getting closer to making it happen every day. Cross your fingers for us and I'll check back in the morning. By the way Jim T, I will take the shot on the last moment, camera or no camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Slow morning by Montana standards. Tim has seen only around 20 deer. The winds have started to swirl and he has two black cats in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Andrus Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Between the swirling winds, two black cats and our tree having lost half of its leaves in the past two days, we decided it was time to get down and locate a new set. Just in from hanging two sets, one for this evening where the deer have crossed the past two evenings and one for tomorrow morning where most of the deer have been crossing an irrigation bridge heading back to bed from the pea field. Believe it or not, we are only ten feet of of the ground from that stand due to the topography of the ground, but we brushed it in real good so we should be set. I have the record for most mosquito bites totaling over 70 and won the bee stung contest. Hopefully my next post will be about a dead deer in the Montana dirt.

Tim Andrus Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Would have brought the Term A Cell but had the understanding that there had already been a freeze here so didn't pack it. Tried to find one in town to buy but no one had any. Heading out now... wish us luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
