Saw a decent buck chasing two does, little second rut action. Getting ready to head back out, hopefully they will be moving before this approaching storm.

Good luck !!

My action has been very good in the late season. Typically, the action picks up the week of Christmas and extends thru the end of season.

I’m still at it. I have a buck I’ve been playing cat and mouse with for a month. Hopefully, he will slip up before the season ends on Jan 5th!!!

Would love to have some snow and colder temps to get the deer moving in daylight. Gun season ended just a week ago so deer are pretty nocturnal.

Saw 10, 9 of which were does that are now off-limits to shoot as of (Dec. 14th.) (1 day before)
A little 6 ptr was only a step or two away from coming with me.
Maybe get to hunt one more time before it is all over.

Best one was an ear width 7 that needs a year. He was about 20 yds.
I was on ground testing a Sapper kill suit I bought after seeing a discussion on here. Set up between 2 osage trees about 6 ' apart, nothing out front to speak of and only buckbrush and a pasture behind.
Some big nannies came by and one looked me over and took a step to me but then went on. Right before dark a smaller 8 was hazing a little doe , she came by at a fast walk 5' in front of me and the buck stopped 12' from me and nibbled on stuff. I turned my head a little to check out a noise and he head bobbed me twice and went back to nibbling stuff.
I don't remember who recommended that sapper suit but thank you!! I think with some proper back cover and a tree or two in fromt for drawing it will be awesome!!

THIS is the feller I am looking for. He was still chasing does (or chasing them again) the first week of December.

It has snaps so I leave bottom couple undone to keep it out of the way of bowstring when sitting. did some trimming on bow arm and chest on that side. Netting of jacket is camo under so still looks fine...

Yep no pants , plenty long cuz I’m short . Goes below knees on me. I bought the desert camo so it wouldn’t be too dark . Wish I could see the woodland in person...

Have been working with a gentleman in shooting a traditional bow. He is now hunt ready. Planning to guide him
on his first traditional bow hunt Monday afternoon. Am certainly hopeful he has a shot opportunity.
Post by: kennym on December 29, 2019, 11:33:53 AM
Later another unidentified deer came in and finally cleared the big cedar tree west of me at 15 yards , looked my way and I saw it wasn't a button, so started the draw when it looked away. Halfway to anchor she turned and walked straight away! LOL
So I sat awhile, ate a snack and drank the coffee I packed in , then dragged out my predator call and squeaked around on it for 20 minutes. About 10 minutes in a squirrel got all bent out of shape about 40 yards out. Nothing ever came of it so I packed it in …
Nice morning to be alive and in the woods!!

I got a fourth arrow camera arm on friday from the saddlehunter dot com classifieds and Saturday was my first attempt at self filming with my DSLR. in Mass you can hunt till 1/2 hour after sunset, but I realized up in the saddle that my headlamp batteries had died.....so, filming squirrels & a pileated woodpecker was fun, but I started packing it up the camera about 15 min before end of legal shooting, and spooked a deer I hadn't seen...it took off like a bat outta hell. the right at last light, had the same 3 (doe & 2 fawns) come out to feed in the field 80 yards away. Lil' too far for my recurve. lol
I'm still going to edit the footage as a 'keepsake of my first video hunt'.

The deer have been very exciting. My Kansas trip was beyond imaginable, Alberta was fantastic too, but to get these wonderful critters on camera has been icing on the cake.
The pigs are starting to take over the feeders and I expect that the deer will go in to hiding for awhile.
Having said that, I've never seen so many deer on my lease or my house property. Bunches of pigs however are fairly common place... unless I decide to go hunting. Then they seem to get the memo.

I’ll be reading about your hunts now... until I return to Florida for a pig hunt in February.

Nice KS deer. Did you give him a bath before that pic ? LOL
We are pretty much done for the year. Still have a bunch of does in the yard but only one buck now. I am pretty sure we had someone slip in on our north fence here at the house and get one or two 150+ class bucks that we were watching. I have had to run some folks off down at Mom and Dads place. They were sneaking in from the south end. I dont think they hurt anything but ya know how that goes.

Anyway 3 days left and I still got a pocket full of tags and out comes a doe and small buck in the wheat to the NW. I thought what the heck I’ll give him a grunt. He pops his head up and stares......then comes running right at me.....wasent expecting that so scrambling for my bow....he came on my right side and as he passed I shot him quartering.....watched him pile up in the wheat. It was an exciting hunt.
One more hunt tonight and I’ll be back in the same spot if the wind stays good!

Thank goodness it year round pigs.
But I'll be out there Saturday and Sunday.
