I'm having much the same problem as TeeJay, although there's some pretty good reasons in my neck of the woods. Part of the land that I hunt is currently being developed. (Yup, it was real nice that my family and I received NO notice at all. ) Worse yet, we have a firebug on the loose: he's set all kinds of fires along the walking paths through the woods that I hunt. So, between the noise, the destruction of some of the better bedding areas, and the smoke, it's a wonder I see any deer at all anymore. It got so bad that I wasn't seeing anything for awhile there - no does and fawns, let alone bucks. Last night may have been a turning point: about ten does and fawns and a spike horn. So I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be seeing at least some deer (hopefully "Big Boy" will return soon). I'm praying for a frost: once all that vegetation dies, I know I'm going to be seeing a lot of deer.

Good luck for the coming week, team. I'm heading out tomorrow for a week of moose hunting, so expect to see lots of new pictures of deer taken when I get back.

hey fellas no luck thus far....took mossy33oak tonight(he decided to come hunt some of our BIG tails here in MN) but no luck still seeing some but no luck thus far

I spotlighted another brut, just a mere 200 yds from my own property. Never seen this deer before, dont have a clue where he came from. But ill be after him!

I got out tonight for the first time in about week. I saw a beatiful 8 point, just beyond my comfortable shooting range. Nice deer, too, would probably go 135. Not "Big Boy", but a nice deer nonetheless.

Got back from moose hunting yesterday. Here's the results.


Well, now I can get down to some serious deer hunting again.

Too bad about the moose. On the otherhand, that's a nice batch of polecats! Gonna have any mounted?

*L* Windsor. No, I don't think any taxidermy work on polecats is in the cards.

Had a pair of does (one with a fawn) in my yard this morning. It'll soon be time for their boyfriends to be accompanying them.

Well I've been hunting 3 times a week for 4 hour at a time. Took a shoot at a doe last Friday and missed. Since then the only deer i've seen is while walking back to the stand.

KK

shot a doe the other day but just cant get a shot on a decent buck
