Good job guys!  Ya'll are making me jealous. Already got meat in the freezer and I still haven't made it to the woods.

Franklin, NC - Need info. for the area, PLEASE!! Folks just bought property there and looking for hunting info. THANKS!!!

Well, I did not pick a spot resulting in a clean miss over the back of a Nanny.  I guess that is why they call it hunting and not killing.

Rick,
We have all been there. Keep at it. You'll get one.

Same fawn as yesterday at roughly the same time.

I'm set up near a creek crossing, but it's so thick I had one come out of the brush covered area I'm hunting and jump the creek before I ever saw it. About 30 minutes later I saw two more doe in a nearby fescue field.

Keep at it Rick. I missed three two years ago and three last year. I'm trying to be more choosy about my shots. But I'm sure my missing isn't over.  

Bud B
I think you hit the nail on the head.  I made that shot without being completely confident and choosy.  it was a rush shot where I saw her and only had a second to draw and wait for her to come through a small opening before releasing...never did really pick a spot.

Any updates fellow tarheels?

I'm heading out again in the AM.

Not seeing anything yet but my confidence is high , good job on the buck bud and congradulations to you also cory.

Got a great spot have seen 20 over the last three days and had a string jump.

Only been once so far.  Had a nice doe broadside at 20 yards, and was getting ready to put preasure on the string.  Right then a spotted fawn popped out.  I thought long and hard about it, but decided to let momma walk.  The farm we're hunting is covered up this year.  My brother had a big 8 pt. at 10 yards last night, but got busted by a cow horn he didn't see when he drew.  I'm heading out there in the morning to try my luck again.

Congrats to you guys that already have meat in the freezer.

ZERO deer sighted from stand today - saw a couple driving out after dark. Beautiful day - I scouted this morning and I have a white aok ridge here in Sanford FULL of fresh droppings and acorn hulls all over - think I will hit it with a climber Sunday. Work tomorrow. Don B should have something by now. Matt Quick got a doe day after I got mine.

Going for coastal hogs Monday  

Hope to see one or two or....

       

I've been out three different times. Saw at least 4 deer every sit. no bucks and no shots taken on does. had two in range but am trying to do some video and couldn't get it all together. took william with me one afternoon to run camera but wouldn't you know it . We got some great footage of 4 does about 80 yards in a cotton field for about 4 hours. Gonna try it again this afternoon. DB

Good luck to you Don!

Had an opportunity this morning on a doe at 10 yards, but was waiting for her to move some since part of her vitals were covered by a bush with leaves.  Don't you know it, she caught my sent and blew out of there. Next time I guess.

I have seen some deer but no shoot opportunities

Post the videos even if there is no kill at the end. Just watching deer is at least half of what gets us out there!

God Bless,
Charlie

My daughter & I sat in our blind all day at a small farm in northern Forsyth Co..
Didn't see anything.
Lots of sign, persimmons dropping nearby.

i have been out three times passed on six different bucks saw 9 does no shot oportunities. Go figure just trying to shoot some does. Taking my buddy Todd this afternoon hopefully he will get his first trad kill.LCH
