I'll be out all weekend...and it's primetime. Should have a good chance.

I will be going in the morning and tomorrow afternoon. then it will be Friday. The following weekend I will be out from Thursday to Sunday unless I get a big boy down. I hope to have a good day tomorrow and can relax a little during my camping trip, but we will see.

well guys, im not proud of this, but i shot and lost a doe this morning. She was only 7 yards away, and at that angle, I didnt realize that I didnt have the clearance, and my bottom cam hit the side of my ladder stand. I hit her extrmely high, and tracked her for 400 yards, and actually saw her standing/bedding in a field 75 yards away, licking the wound. I didnt have my bow ( went onto a neighbors property tracking), and i dont think i could have gotton much closer anyways, as she was on full alert. im 99.9% sure she'll recover, but im still sick. I'm going to take a day or two off and recharge the hunting batteries, then I should be back at it, this time, anytime that ladder is use, i'll be standing 100% of the time.

Hey Guys
Got into my stand by 4 today and never heard wisper till 6:05, I had just finished rattling and laid the antlers down and saw the whitetails up,they were off. Busted I guess, dang well not 10 minutes later I saw the dark colour of a moose in the bush and she was coming my way. Clipped on my trigger release and stood and waited, and waited,and waited. Twenty minutes and the time was running out on light fast. SHe started to come again ,but only a few steps. Then outa of a tree stand 70 yards away my parner decides it was dark enough and he was climboing down out of his stand.
You know what happens next HUH ! Dang partners eh! flippin cow takes of in the other direction. That's bow hunting,LMAO bin saying that a lot lately. You's hunting Wednesday be safe and Happy Holloween to you's. I'll be out again come Thursady night. Gotta finish cleaning the yard up before the snow comes Friday.

Keep your head up. If one does not feel bad when that happens they should not be hunting. 2 years ago I shot a large buck trailed blood for about 200 yards then it stopped. I searched for 2 straight days looking for him. I was litterly sick from it, could not eat or anything. I still think about it everytime I am heading out to hunt. Keep your head up your time will come.

I did not see a thing this morning. Will be going back out in a little bit. Wish me luck.

Josh,

I wouldn't worry to much you probably just gave her a nice gash and education. Keep at it fellas.

got a pic of this guy in my backyard last night.

Nice Buck there. I went out tonight and saw a nice buck on the edge of a field. Bad thing is I was on a piece of property that I can't Hunt only take pictures. I had my girlfriend with me as well so I was just glad she was able to see some deer. Tomorrow I am going to the management property where my buddy shot the 12 and 9 pointer already this year. I am set up on a couple of scrapes so I am hoping for some good luck.

couple of more pics of the buck. got booted at work, and i just now got back home.
