What a morning in the woods. Today was the first day that I've been able to get out this season. I woke up late, jumped in the shower and got to the woods just before first light.
I was able to get to my tree with out scaring TOO many deer. Although, manage to bump a buck and 2 or 3 does out from under my tree. All morning I had constant chasing going on. Had a doe walk to 5 yrds from my tree. The arrows "tinkt" the seat of my tree stand, which put her on alert. She was quartering perfect. I held low drew and released. right over her back! I did manage to shave some hair! guess I didn't hold low enough. :banghead: The worse part of it was that I hit a rock with my broadhead and smashed the $#!^ out of it. About 10 mins later, I look behind me, and theres about a 15" wide 6 rummaging behind me. Watching him for awhile, I hear a loud BURRRRUP from in front of me. Glassing, I see buck raking the crap out of a sapling. When the buck stepped into the opening about 50 yrds away, I could see its 2 little spikes. I was dying! Someone must have told him that he was a big buck.
all totaled, I saw 11 different deer, 6 were bucks. All before 930 am. There was chasing going on all that time.
It was a great morning.
Sounds like one of those mornings we all love so dear. Congrats on the great hunt.
God Bless,
Nathan
Deer hunting soud like a lot of fun. Looke like a lot of movement... Compare to moose, that said sometime we get some good action going on!!
Good for you and good luck on your next outage!
That's a great morning all right Sean with all that deer activity. You timed your first day perfect it sounds like. With all those deer you should have a fun time this season, shoot straight! :archer:
That is a great morning
Man sounds great, can't even imagine it.
Yep, things are starting to happen here also.
Gee Sean, I may need to reconsider coming down at noon-ish on Saturday :rolleyes:
Sounds like a great morning alright! :thumbsup:
WOW sounds awesome man!!!!
Just this type of experience rivals or possibly exceeds one that ends with a harvest.
Thanks for sharing.
fun
Congrats Sean! You didn't kill a deer but you certainly put yourself in the middle of them.
I went this afternoon and saw 8 skin heads. Had one monster old doe at about 30 yards. Just a tad farther than I like. Still a great evening.
Yeah, it was great. that little spike was killing me. Thats what its all about.
Sounds like a good day Brother!!!!!
(Keep me posted!!!)
Glad to see you had a good first day out. I didn't see a deer my first day, except when I was driving to my stand in the morning. Good to know you saw some chasing going on. I was talking to a guy at work today about that and he hasn't witnessed any bucks chasing yet.
Good luck!
I think I just felt my neck swell some!
