I am always curious as to what phase you are in there as opposed to us here. We are still chasing and seeking here. No breeding yet. I rattled a giant to me tonight but ran out of light...it is almost the tipping point here.

Good luck these next 2 weeks. Our guns don't go off for another 2 weeks, and it's only for 3 days. I don't feel so bad now

A day you will always remember, great hunt!

1st we have a 9 day season, then 5 days off then a 7 day season followed by a 14 days muzzleloader. So basically guns straight through the middle of December. And people wonder why I am so anti gun hunters!!

My all day hunt got shortened to just 60 minutes.

Old lodge skins spilled blood!!

here are the hero photo's. he will have to get on and tell his tale.

70 degrees F on November 4th for a high!    

I needed to find a shady place yesterday afternoon. So I headed just behind the house and sat in the ladder on the East facing bluff. Needless to say deer movement was nill. Just before dark I noticed a big deer down in the food plot. I got the bino's on him and was impressed with what I saw. A big white rack with 10 even points!. I had  been watching the trails behind me and above me and I don't know where he came from. He exited the opposite side of the plot and headed up the other bluff. Soon he saw something he liked and off he went in a rush.

This morning I hunted again over Derek the decoy. Derek  was sporting a new set of Tarsal Glands!

Despite lots of gunfire, deer movement was pathetic. One spike buck for 6 hours on stand.

After Old lodge skins hit the trail for home I headed back up the bluff. It was 68 F at 3 pm.  We had a south wind and I wanted to try a spot I have not hunted for weeks on end.

The deer come out of the property next door and walk down my mowed trails to my food plots. There is also a trail that comes up the ridge and intersects the mowed trail right on the other side of three big cedar trees next to my spot. The cedars provide great cover but I can see any deer approaching on either trail.
