hunted 3 nights in a row close to my house from a stand overlooking a back field where i have saw a load of deer over the years. NADDA in 3 nights so decided to give it a rest for a night. on a whim i decided just before dark to take a walk around the fields looking for pheasants. peaked over the little knoll where my stand is in the last field and there stood a nice buck 5 yards in front of my stand! tried to put the sneak on him but got busted at 60 yards......
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: Yep Ken, sounds like you've got my fortune! That's definitely something that would happen to me. :rolleyes:
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: Did you expect anything less!!
That's why they call it hunting and not shopping:-) Good luck.
talk about laugh,I shot at a spike this morning, 15yds or so, perfect shot just above the heart, double lung for sure....HE SPUN LIKE A N>F>L< PLAYER AVOIDING A TACKLE.the arrow hit the ground,and he walked away like it was an everyday occurrence.all I could do was laugh. Burt
Haha!
I got game cam pics of deer nearly every day and can't get them in front of me when I am hunting.

Been there and believe me, I know what you are talking about.

Never fails does it!
Worse yet, Is when ya go on your morning hunt and see nothing, And when ya go on the evening hunt ya retrace your steps, And they have deer tracks all over them..
More often ill spend all day in the stand with not much action . But coming out there right by the truck ! Laughing at me. Think ill put my stand on my bumper.
I've had a couple of does look back at me and give me "the hoof" while standing between 2 "No Hunting" signs.
The deer know...
:biglaugh: :laughing:
Yup, sounds like a typical day for me. But one of these days I will be there when they are :bigsmyl:
Several times I've went out for 4-5hrs & haven't seen anything except squirrels. I come home & my wife tells me that a deer (sometimes a buck,sometimes a doe)was browsing at the edge of our lawn 20yds behind our home.
You could try using milkweed fluf to see just where the air is really moving to. Sometimes it can really fool you.
