heck ya i didnt see the video thing! let us know!
pretty poopy day for me. face is wind burnt, ear hurts again(ear i had the infection in not long ago) it was windier than all get out..a tree blew over not far from me around 5pm...i figured that was a sign to leave if there ever was one.
did a little scouting and found that they moved farther back this year. only 1 sorry excuse of a rub where i setup..usually its rubs and scrapes galore...farther in i found a FRESHLY hit scrape and a decint number of rubs..1 was about 6" thick...
instead of following the trails out i climbed the hill and follwed the ridge out. sat down at the top of the hill to cool down...stood up and took a couple steps and off ran a deer. funny i was 500yds away down the same ridge and it wasnt windy over there know where i will hunt next time its windy...
ohhh well. beat the heck out of whatever else i woulda been doin today...going to try to send dad to that spot i found the rubs at in rifle season if he hunts...we had a honey hole 500yds in the other direction but the thicket grew up and quit holding deer...the spot i found today will really be better in rifle..its gunna be THICK bowhunting..if i can even find a tree...

I will take a free video as well. Thanks for offering that to us.
I haven't been bowhunting much the last week, weather has been warm plus ML season was in so the woods were full of smoke polers. Once the rain slows down I will be out every day for the rest of the week, we finally have some cooler temps in MD. Rut is starting to warm up a little bit, lot of scrapes and rubs popping up. This is the time of year I live for........bow season officially starts NOW!!!!!

[:@]I shot under a doe last night. I think I rushed my shot, the first doeI pulled back on my elbow hit the tree and she took off. I just had a all around bad night last night. Its very windy here today so I'm grounded be back out Friday night to redeem myself.

Hit the woods last night in the rain and saw 1 buck cruising through. It was to late and he was about 60 yards off so I didn't get a real good look at him. I have my gear in the truck today but it is absolutly pouring here and it doean't look like it is going to let up until tomorrow sometime. As soon as this rain passes tomorrow I will be in a tree, after 3 days of constant rain those dear will really be on the move when it stops.

Seen a Doe and a little 6pt tonight they both offered shots. I was back over a mile so I didn't shoot the doe would have been to far to drag her by myself. I'm going back out tomorrow morning.

Had a pretty good morning sat'day. 4 bucks, 3 does, and a button head. 1 shooter, but out of range. 2 decent bucks, older deer, but both were a 6 and a 5, neither with brow tines, or else would have been a 7 and an 8.. Also a small 4 point. The 5 kept cruising through and the buttonhead got too close, so the 5 pinned his ears back , walked at him with that sideways gate, and the button took off like a jack rabbit! I am going to get one on teh ground, either here or Kentucky. Go to Kentucky next thursday through sunday--the 8th through the 11th.
