Jake,
    Again congratulations, quick kill and a short blood trail can't ask for much more.

Had a small six come out early at 5 but never saw the decoy as he stayed across the riva....I grunted to him and hit the can a coue times and had a doe come in from the north side if the corn field but she got down wind and headed west lol
Fun night

Thanks again Pat, I appreciate everything. I had a good sit this evening, I ended up seeing 21 deer. Only 2 of them were bucks, and they were both small. I have a feeling that I'm gonna have to reach into a bag of tricks to kill one of these mature bucks when it's this hot.

Good job Jake! Freezer filler!!

I have been thinkin on the mature buck/ warm temp thing too. I think I need to be as close to their bed without blowing em out as I can. But shortly, their bedroom will be empty while they cruise, if not already.

Ahhh, rut time!!

[TIM B]

It's close.....very close

I forgot to add a pic yesterday. I have some better pictures on an sd card I'll have to upload later.

Look at that....somebody left a perfectly good arrow next to that dead deer!

Congrats Jake      

I wish I was good enough to make that shot on purpose; it sure  does make for a quick, clean kill!

Thanks for sharing!

[kennym]

Nice doe Jake!!

Buck standing along hey 6 in some switchgrass this morn at 9.00 .  It's close!

[TIM B]

Looks like yer slaughtering hogs down there Jake lol
Congrats again

I had a doe in at 20 last night but quartering to me....swirling wind saved her....saw a couple other deer but no bucks...

Hannah and I are in the tree together. I'm hoping a mature doe comes in for her. If a good buck comes in from behind the tree he's mine. She gets everything out front of the tree. Last time we sat together November 2 I killed a buck I was targeting. So just maybe.....

[TIM B]

Sweet good luck man....I'll be back out tonight
Tim

[kennym]

Good luck!! I saw my first in person hard antlered big big buck on the way to work this morn. Last day working til the 13th....      

[JakeD]

Well we snuck in quiet as a couple of church mice and got both of our stands set up within 100 yards of a bedding area. This is where the big boys usually hang out. If the wind will cooperate I have a good feeling about tonight.

I got out this evening after work and between thunderstorms....  ran a decent 8 pt out on my way in, wind shifted out of the north and saw another buck straight downwind 150 yards... he didn't stay around long after getting a big snoot full of me.  The next one was a little forky that was dogging a doe. Then, just at last light a big 8 pt showed up...  at 60 yards......  upwind, so I thought that I could maybe grunt him in....  NOPE!  He blew and was gone!  I'm still scratching my head on that one...

[kennym]

160+ buck got ran over 1/4 mile from my house tonite just after dark.  :(

[TIM B]

Dang Kenny - ya whack the head bones offt that joker at least?

I saw a deer walking in last night...it was 100
From my stand along the creek....I think it was bedded and stood when it saw me....that was the only deer I saw.  
Weather breakin a little today.....can't wait to get out tonight
Tim

[kennym]

No ,a couple guys already had him. I was sick. I didn't even take a pic of him. Nev r seen him before, they are roaming now.

[JakeD]

We are all set up here. Finally starting to cool down after sweating my butt off hanging out stands. Its still too dang warm here. I'm just hoping we are close enough to some bedding that we might have a buck cruise by and check it out.

[kennym]

Bigger bucks are moving a bit, in a week, the real nice ones will be traveling in daylight!!
