I've got the next 6 weeks off guys to do some serious hunting. Temps are freezing every night and seeing a lot of dinks, some respectable ones but not within range. Cool weather is starting to get the big boys moving as I can hear the game pretty easily with all the leaves on the ground, kinda like walking on corn flakes. There is some really good bucks in this area and i'm getting to the point where I can smell the blood. Good luck guys.

Well guys, Good news and Bad news!

The bad news is that the idiots are back in the field next to my honey hole. I didn't see them personally but all the signs are there. The property owner has posted signs. All I saw tonight was 3 dozen deer with the biggist one being a spike who just lost his velvet. My friend didn't see a single deer. I saw my herd because I suspected that they where back and their travel patterns confirmed it. Oh well, I will hunt that spot during the rut. I know the big boys are there but traveling incognito.

The good news is that my friend saw 4 140 class 8's in his back yard the other evening so I went there this morning because I knew the area. They wern't there this morning. I saw dozens of deer most does and bambies. A few small bucks with one 6 or 8 point basket rack.Though I saw a lot of deer, I was on the wrong side of his little half acre lot. I'm pretty sure no big boys slipped by me. Thet just weren't there. I'm going back tomorrow and going to be on the right side and hopefully a big guy will come through in the morning. He sees some big deer quite reqularly, but there has been a 170 that shows himself once a year.

On the awesome news side, it felt great this morning hearing people get in their cars going to work and I'm in a tree. It was awesome hearing the garbage truck on the lane and I'm in a tree. It was awesome hearing kids playing basketball and I'm in a tree. This afternoon it was awesome 30'+ with deer all round knowing there was no way I would get a shot at a big boy or a challenge in itself if he would have shown his face for 45 mins. I was sure thats how my luck would have played out today. Life is good.

Good luck team season is still very young and we can pull this off again this year.

Saw a 140 class 11 point today. Of course I was not hunting though.:(But he was not far from one of my stands and he was making ground I believe the bucks are now in search of the does. The pre rut is still a couple of weeks away here but this was the first mature buck I saw making ground during daylight hours in the open. And I saw him twice a few hundred yards away within 45 minutes. I can't wait for this weekend.:D

Way to go Tribal. I just showed your sig to my wife. She asks, "Wow too bad he's not on your team." I said, "Glad he is". :D

Sorry guys, family and job have me bound and I have not even been out once this season. I did manage to find time to hang another stand with my son this weekend. Good news is - signs of the rut are showing up in my woods with a fresh scrape - right under my stand! Can't be a bad thing.

Been hunting hard these past few days guys and the moon hasn't been cooperating as most of the activeity I've been seeing is in the late mornings and early evenings around 4:00. Saw a lot of deer last evening but nothing descent. The other night while walking in on a logging road at about 2:00 a nice buck was bedded down as I walked by and it just lowered its head and I acted like I didn't see him and kept walking. I tried to slip around but it slipped on out.It wasn'ttoo far from one of my stands. Some areas I been hunting is so thick most of my shots are no further than 20 yrds. Wind ain't cooperating either. I'm taking this week off from huntingand mend and relocate some stands. Found a good area in a bottom of a revene with a lot of deer signs and activity but enroute there is heavy griz activiety also. I don't like thinking about that going in before dark or coming out after dark-thirty.I was stalking along the edge of this pond for elk as I could smell them and knew they weren't far and thenI startled a cow and calf moose whilealongthis pondand we saw each other at the same time and the water just exploded arounded me, I about sheet. I'm in some good areas and I'm sure the quality in what I am seeing is going to get better. Some times elk hunting gets in my way of deer hunting and whitetail/mulie hunting get in the way of my elk hunting. I'm sure that maybe I'll find a stupid one. Good lucks guys.Lets geterdone.
