Well this is killing me sitting at work. Weather is perfect! Just got a monster on trail cam. My brother just called from the stand that he just shot a mature buck. Lowebow is texting me that he has had 4 bucks cruising by already this morning. Ugggggh!
Anyone else chained to a desk???

-
Still at work but have next week off. Should be great.

NOPE..
On vacation & in the tree now..
Have seen 3 this morning cruising the downwind side of a bedding area..nothing big enough yet..nothing like the pig you have on camera.
-
You suck Mark! Haha. Good luck Brother.
-
yep! I am stuck to a deck, and surfing trad gang to keep from going crazy in my office! I need to be in the woods! BTW that is a pig! I would travel half way acrros the county to kill a buck like that! Get that sucker! ahaha :archer2:
-
Thanks for the pic last night TJ!
I'm headed out at lunch time for the rest of the day. :jumper:
It just started drizzling rain here, shot be clearing by early afternoon.
-
Tom,
I am in the office as well. however, if I had that PIG on camera, I would taking the rest of the day off. Go get him, Good luck.
-
Same problem. Got home at 5 yesterday and switched the card in my driveway road security/game camera and found that a huge 8 pt. had crossed 20 minutes before I got there. Can't hunt again until Saturday!
-
No desk here, but it's pouring out!
-
I'm chained to my desk today, but tomorrow I will be chained to a tree. Little rain today and temps are dropping, snow showers in the forcast and tomorrow morning suppose to be in the 20's. To say I'm excited is an understatement!
-
Stuck for 4 more hours then on my way too hunt tonight and next four days. If I had one 1/2 that size in my area I would be long gone.
-
Just until 2:30 and then I have a dentist appointment. I predict today will be the single best day to hunt this year.
-
I feel your pain! Sitting at my desk looking out the window at the Windless nice fall day. Hunting tomorrow however for 6 straight days, so that helps!!
-
Not exactly a desk, even worst! Stuck working in the woods watching deer run around! I help manage a wounded warrior hunt and pull cameras and maintain food plots. YET I CAN'T HUNT THEM OR TAKR OFF TO GO HUNT! Lol
-
No desk here, but no deer either :dunno:
Gvan just killed a nice 9pt this morning. Pics may be coming.
That's a pig TJ, Good luck with him!
-
ps. that's a pig!!! Can I come over?
-
I've got the month off and am nursing a back injury I got while working my last day before vacation. Can't sit or stand very long. Just can't hold still. Ugh, I feel your pain.
-Jeremy :coffee:
-
Oh dang Jeremy, you have just made me feel much better. Thanks Brother and so sorry about your predicament.
-
Yes, stuck working. Not cool but Ive had a great season with more to come. :readit:
-
i have a short chain to a desk as well my friend
-
Sort of the same problem....I'm stuck in training(18 weeks of it) 6 hours from home ! Pain and agony !
-
I'm strapped to my big oak desk as well.

-
At least I can "hunt" vicariously through you all here. Please keep me in the stand!
-Jeremy :coffee:
-
Haha, you suck to Trap.
Beautiful bow Brother.
-
booo.....stuck at work as well. Need to be out in the woods. Good luck to all.
-
I'm stuck two hours away from home at college. I still get hunt Saturdays but sitting by while my friends shoot deer during the week is awful.
-
Sorry Buddy, couldn't resist.
I'm sure you'll make good use of your time.
That deer in the photo is probably in more trouble than he realizes.

-
Between you guys and the Kansas thread this is killing me....... :banghead:
Headed for Kansas in 5 days....... :jumper:
-
Work today... hunt tomorrow. Weather's kind of crappy so I don't feel too bad, but I'm still sitting here thinking about what I may be missing out there.
BTW, what a beautiful buck!
-
dont know if i could handle a picture like that i think i would be telling my boss i had to go home that my stomach hurt..lol!!!
-
TJ, that looks like a 165+, I believe I'd call in sick...... Or quit !
Remember Johnny Paycheck ????
"Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more!"
-
I am chained to mine Tom...this sucks! I have a mature deer in my field in front of the house this morning as I was making coffee and doing some medical records prior to my day. It was this nice fat boy that needs an arra in a bad way.

-
Yeah, hear ya TJ. My work day today was a dawn till dark deal, so there goes today. Tomorrow however, ah hah!
-
Chained to my desk as well! Hoping to get out this weekend.
-
That's a dandy Mike, I hope you get a crack at him soon. The leadslingers take to our woods on Saturday. Ugggh!
-
I hear ya! November is my favorite month of the year but it is also one of the busiest here at work. Seems like they schedule conf. calls and web ex meetings on a daily basis.....I must work for a bunch of anti hunters! Things are starting to get cranked up here in southern WV, think I might just have to disappear for a few days!
Good luck with that monster on your trail cam!
-
What a beautiful buck! Wow. Good luck chasing him.
-
No desk but not working on anything important at work which to me is just as bad. I hate busy work!
-
Yeah, i'm stuck at my desk in NYC. I'm trying to see if i can take off Monday and Tuesday and then a few days before thanksgiving. I've got pictures of some good bucks for my area so I can't wait until Saturday.
-
Mint, I don't know what's worse, that stuck part or the NY city part. Haha. I think you have it worse than me Brother.
-
Every year it happens to me brother! It seems work never lets me enjoy most of the best part of the season....it stinks big time!!!
This year I thought I was going to be off for the rut....but the BM of my local had different ideas for me and sent me too another job to try to straighten some things out.....99% of the rut will be spent at work again!!
-
Just getting home from work. Weather should be perfect this weekend. Lows in the 30's high around 60 high pressure system camped out for the next 4 days. And their doing this by my stand.

Only problem is I have to make a 1600 mile round trip to Louisiana.
Bucks are starting to move around here ( N.E. Kansas ) Everyone at work has seen bucks the last couple of days.
Good luck everyone.

I go off call at 0700 in the morning. If i do not get called in surgery tonight, I will spend the next three days off and in a tree. I do not have any decent bucks that call the farm home but they just show up this week. I will check the reconyx tomorrow in hopes they have returned.
-
Wooooo :eek: :eek: :eek: That there is a giant!
-
Dude call in SICK!!!! What a TOAD!!
-
TJ, I have a prediction.........You smiling with this big guy in the near future, it's going to happen :goldtooth:
-
I hope you are right YellowDog but the leadslingers take to the woods on Saturday and I can't get out until then. I am afraid I don't have time to figure out his daily routine. Going to sit in the area he is in and hope for the best.
-
Your boss must not be a bowhunter .... :banghead:
-
I feel your pain. Stuck working nights right now. Two days ago I worked until 1 am got up at 4 and went out for a bit. Unfortunately I had to work again that night.
Beautiful buck. Hopefully he comes back while you're in the stand.
-
I'm calling in in the morning. Telling the boss I MIGHT be in by 10...unless I kill something!
-
Dang!!!! Nice buck.
I have been chained to desk but I'm free for the next week :)
Good Luck Brother :thumbsup:
-
Yeah, I think I'd be sick tomorrow, if I were you! What a BEAST!!! I'm (literally) locked in a prison at night and hafta work double shifts pretty often, so I just go on my off days (just in case one of those doubles sneaks up on me).
Can't wait to see your hero pic with that fella!
-
TJ,
No sense in letting that buck get by so maybe I should get an early flight out and get a chance to hunt him for you...Man he's a Hog of a buck you lucky rascal you...Just all of a sudden eat something that will make you throw up in the office and they will make you leave...Distroy all evidence that you were on Tradgang on your office computer cause they just may know you faked it..
-
Hunting the "RUT" is over-rated ;) (that's why I save all my vacation to hunt it)...didn't see but 5 bucks & 1 doe yesterday..
Heading to the tree here in a couple of minutes..good luck to everyone that out.
TJ,you'll get him Saturday morning..
-
:scared: :scared: :scared: Holy Smokes!!!

You guys don't want to shoot this deer. He only has 5 on his right side and has broken off his left brow.
-
Beautiful buck TJ. I am off for the next 4 days, wish me luck.
Tom
-
Stuck on the computer and no tags to fill! I should be working on my computer on work stuff but just dreaming of hunts on here instead. Sucks to have all my deer hunting done by mid September here in Utah. Someday I need to do a November hunt for whitetails!
-
Yeah twitchstick, our four and a half month long deer season is pretty great!
-
I know your frustration. Season started in September, and I have only hunted 3 times without results.

Yep. With no end in sight. Worst season ever :(
On the bright side, that should be a contest winning photo. That is a once in a lifetime deer there. Good luck TJ.
-
Dang... That is one fantastic deer. I hope you find the time to get after him. Just knowing he's in the neighborhood will make each minute on the stand more exciting.
-
Full chained at my desk. My season is not looking good... :confused: :banghead: :banghead:
F-Manny
-
That's how it was for me last couple seasons. Couldn't hunt! This year I was able to get some time off. But things didn't start happening here till yesterday. I rattled in a 4x4 and let him go. He had a nasty festering wound on the top of his back possibly due to fighting. Then yesterday evening I was watching a 5x4 with a doe. I was so caught up with them that I didn't realize a nice 4x4 was closing in on me at a fast trot. He made it through my shooting lanes before I was ready! Rookie mistake!
-
I had to work my 3 day weekend cause of a pipe leak.
But traded it for 3 other days off, then got a call from boss said he was sorry that I could not have those days off. I put up my work gear and got out my hunting gear and took all the days off. :laughing:
Shot two does and more to come after I get them processed. I was looking for a job when I found that one!!!
-
Killing me too. We went the last wk of Oct due to it being the only time we could get on the land we hunted- too early, standing crops, 3 good bucks on cam but all at night.
-
wow! one great look buck!
-
Hoo-boy - that's a pig.
Well not to whine, but my problem is sort of different. I killed my 1 allowed buck in early September - third day of the season... Haven't hunted in over two months! I am really having withdrawals surfing TG, talking to friends about all of the scrapes that are showing up and wishing I was out there in the cool/cold weather hunting a rut crazed whitetail.
Oh well. Hope you get a shot at that buck!
-
Well,I had been chained to my Toolbox for a bit TJ but got a few days off,and by golly,shot a nice doe tonight. Got that monkey off my back,and some Venison in the freezer. You guys have some awesome deer down there. Hopefully you can break away soon. Gotta be tough with deer like that in the trailcam pics. Broad daylight to boot. Good luck,pick that lock! rat'
