Worst Day Yet

Man was it bad today for me,got out late but still got onstand before light. LOL. Then never saw a animal till 12:30. I got out and picked up my bud and headed over to the field where we new their were does. As we were walking inI saw a monster buck thatI thought would be over 200. We'll I was pumped and as soon as I got situiated in my stand I started agressivley with the buck growl. Wow he's coming on a run! All of a sudden he blows and takes off. I blow back to calm him ,but he was gonzo. That was it for my night no deer sightings and same for my bud that I put in my honey hole.At least he saw 2 bucks in the am[:o].Well he's got tomorrw and 1/2 a day Saturday to get at least a 150 buck,can I do it??? We'll see,but I'm thinking no,as their still not in full rut. !!!! I got next week so I'm not to worried,just my bud is what I care for now.
Get this he gets a long distance phone call at 2:30 am here from his wife,she's scared sick as she just shoed a black bear cub out of her kitchen with a rubber maid top that came in and started eating the dog food, LMAO. Well the warden was out and caught him the 3rd time trying to get back in. He has a doggie door that it got in through. They had to put it down as the rest of the bears are in hibernation,this one thought it was still nice out.Go figure.Talk to you's tomorrow night.

Terrible Start To A DAy

Well guys I dropped my partner of at 6:30 and headed to my honey hole and I looked and looked and looked. Light was starting to show and finally I found the tree and Dang it. Someone stole my stand,well what can I do but look to my other ole reliable,it's gonzo too. Now I'm ticked. Well I go back to where I was on Monday and at noon we give up. I saw a button buck at 8:20 ,so I tell my bud the bad news and of we head to a new location.
Get on stand by 2:20 and nothing ,till it's almost time to go and I hear grunting coming down the tree line about 400 yards away. I grunt back with a few doe estrus bleats to boot. This buck is on a michan.He's getting closer and the sunlight is almost gone. I hear him tearing up a willow across the field now at 70 yards. I buck growl with a few more doe bleats and he's heading my way. I grab the bow and get ready. He holds up midfield at 50 yards and turns broadside and I lower my bow andI can't do it.Too dark as he turns back towards where he came from. Great deer ,very tall tines and a 5x5 to boot ,guessing he'd go 18o's. Other than that a very depressing day.Will keep ya's informed tomorrow night . Be safe out their guys and God Bless.

Congrats on the doe Mo. Lets see those pics.

Sorry for the silence fellas, I've been away at our camp in WV doing some gun hunting. No luck though, the only shot i had was during a drive and i missed a buck (looked to be about 100inches, nothing huge but very respectable for that area). My nephew and dad both connected so it was a fun trip for all. Keep at it guys, its not over yet.
