Hi all I'm back! No I still havent harvested a deer yet!!! Grrrrr Anywho' The first day of season, my husband sat in the bottom of the ravine in a climber,, He had 12 deer right under his stand along with 2 small bucks! wow right. The stand is in the corner of 5 heavily used trails. Our 11 acre peice is right next toa big peice of scientific land, there are farms and a few homes in the area. Oh! btw, he didnt shoot because we found 2 very nice shed's in early july, but lots of the saw him in the tree. they hung around for over an hour! eating and playing! We moved a new double tree stand close to where his climber was, and moved the climber to a new location. I have sat in the stand now maybe 8 times, although I do see deer out of it, they are not using the trails they were using, and I cant seem to get a shot. Saw a nice buck but it was moving WITH the wind on a higher trail. Is it just that befor rut turns on, they change their patterns, or is the stand scareing them away, if I can find the cam I will take some approch shots and post them! Wish me luck, goin out for a noon hunt!
