11/11/11 according to the lunar calendar is supposed to be a good day to be a hunter.
Good luck. I hope you see a lot of critters.
Good Luck. I have only a doe tag left. I have 8 days of vacation, but plan on using a few towards the holidays and rolling over a few as well.
What an awsome day to be in the woods. This morning I watched a little 4 pt chasing a doe then nothing till 4pm. I was in my all day stand daze and I hear that buck on a mission cadence in leaves coming down the hill behind me. So i can hear him but for the life of me i couldnt see him then all the sudden there he is at 35yds. He was directly behund me and had to decide which side of the tree he is gonna take. So hear he comes on my left, perfect hes a solid 3 yr old 8pt. about 16 or 17 in wide (this is apreety good deer for central Pa public land) and hes gonna pass by at 10 yds. Except for the fact that this is a Pa public land buck and he aint dumb. He checks himself and slows down taking in whats going on around him. I know this isnt gonna be good hes spending to much time in close proximity to me. So here he is 20yds facing me and all the sudden i feel the wind hit my right cheek. Well you all know what happened next, he didnt blow out but he got enough to turn around and go back the way he came. That was really cool, I started shaking uncontrollably and laughing. I havnt had that reaction to a close encounter in along time and Im happy to have it back. I was starting to worry about myself lol. Anyhow I then saw a little pike right at dark. Back at it tommorow for an another all day sit, cant wait. Good luck fellas and ladies.
I think in the 80's they made a t-shirt for that $h!^ happens,keep at and you will get lucky. Thanks for the follow along its cool when your not able to go out and hunt.
Great day and a wish for more luck tomorrow! What game lands were you hunting?
Mike I am hunting the Rothrock State Forest in Huntingdon county
I hunt PA too I went out around 1pm today and I had a nice six point walk by about 60 yards away. And than around 4:45 I had a doe running full tilt under my stand followed by a spike and a little four point. Too small though we need 3points to a side in my hunting area of 4D. Gonna get some rest maybe tommorow morning things will pick up some. Its been a very slow week for me, only have two days left to get it done wish me luck and be safe wear your safety harness.
Awesome, The best of luck guys. Have a great hunt and be safe.
Had agreat day today but no shots were taken. Stayed in all day again and saw 6 different bucks. Another really nice 8 that was to far, the only one close enough was a little 5pt that i let walk. Im tired tonight that wind beat me up. One more day and then thats it for us PA boys till gun season. Good luck tommorow
Say hi to your dad for me...and thanks for the wish of good luck for tommorrow!
Good luck to you and your dad...great thread! :campfire: :campfire: :campfire:
Well thats that. Great day the weather was a bit warm but it was nice. Saw a small 7pt and the big 8 again but still couldnt get the deal done. All tolled i saw 9 different bucks i think 11 total sightings. I called my Pap on my way home and was telling im how i just couldnt put it together. He said somthing i dont think im ever gonna forget. He said," the experiances you had will be what you remember not the horns you could have put on the wall" That really hit home. Have great season all.
Maybe move the stand closer to the action.
Seasons over Tim, here in Pa.
I hate when that happens,no winter bow in PA?
Yea after christmas when gun seasons done
