Didn't even see a deer last night ....it was still 72' and windy....nicer outside this morning- dropped into the 40's

Man it's been a rough couple of days. Didn't see a deer yesterday or today yet. If things don't change in the morning We are gonna head to our farm about an hour away and find some fresh ground.

Hannah just killed a doe! Woohoo!!!

[kennym]

Alright Hannah!! Congrats!

[JakeD]

I won't post pics because she's shooting a compound, but she made a perfect shot at 15 yards and it piled up around 55 yards away. She's been hunting just as hard as me and this is the first deer I've ever been with her that she killed with a bow. What a great evening.

Congrats Hannah!!
Last night deer were starting to run a bit. Had a small forkie chase a doe by then he showed back up and hung out a while then meandered offt only to push a doe 15 yds behind me but I never even tried to get a shot as it's a jungle behind me there but the forkie stayed back away from this doe as she looked peterbed - should be a exciting morning....deciding where to go....

We are settled in sitting in a tree near a funnel that bucks like to cruise through. I'm really hoping Hannah can get her first archery buck this morning. She won't shoot anything but 4.5 year olds and older, so it's been pretty tough getting her on one. Its hard enough for me to do it, let alone get somebody else on one. Its fun though, and that's really all that matters.

Had 2 doe w fawns come by this morning they were just a bit far at 25.....no bucks showed.  A decent buck showed up on camera from another property I think I may hunt tonight....

Thank ya kindly!!  Yup, and she still shoots better than I can!!

Had a 3 legged doe come by this morning but nothing following her....set back up by big woods and a corn field for the evening....have the doe decoy out in the field as a confidence decoy and so the deer have something that grabs their attention aside from me haha

Rodd,

Keep at it!  It's funny how sometimes the grunt fires 'em up, and sometimes it freaks 'em out.

I hope you had some luck this weekend!

[kennym]

Still slow in N Mo, at least where I'm at.

No big bucks seen here at all....

[goingoldskool]

This last weekend was a bust. .... first weekend of the month is usually always guard drill which is NOT conducive to being in the woods. Although I will be taking some vacation time this week to see if I can seal the deal. Things are never the same after rifle season!

Good luck,  shoot straight and God bless,

Rodd

I shot this buck the day before Halloween.

 

 

VPA 3 blade made for a short recovery

Then yesterday I had to watch a bigger buck make a scrape at 15 yards      No buck tag for another week    

It's been a fun season so far, as I also lucked into a nice gobbler with an 11" beard from the ground no blind.

It's getting crazy with tons of chasing, good luck guys! Hunt safe

[TIM B]

Good buck RLA!! Atta'boy
