Yep LB, LOL

Hunting farm tracks I have leanred one thing, it's feast or nothing. Tonight not a deer on the farm[:@] The Corn in front is killing me. It always done, I have never been good early season with the corn in front of the farm. Being farm runs West to East I can not hunt them in front unless i get a NE or SE wind. If I hunt them in front they get behind me and the ball game is up.

I hunted a different stand tonight. Never saw a darn thing. Wind was right but I guess my choice of stands wasnt what I should have chose. Back out tomorrow evening.

Alrght guys and gal lets get fired up

Lets hear some reports!!!!

Lets hear from those quiet guys and gals

OK, if the deer do the same thingtomorrow that they did last night, I should have me a doe in the freezer. Last night was the first time I hunted that property so I set up on the most acorns. But most of the deer came out on the other side of the property and headed towards the county park that joins our subdivision.(600 acres of no hunting, deer paradise)I am going to be in position to get a shot if they come out there again.

And who knows, there might be a buck come out there too.

Then I think I am going to give IL another try on Saturday. The temps will be much better than last week.

The weather finally cooled down here but I've been working til 2AM all week[:@] and just couldn't drag myself out of bed. I wrapped that project up last night so I should get off work normal time and plan to be in a tree Saturday and Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. Wife's class reunion is Saturday night. Small price to pay for hunting the rest of the weekend though Good luck everyone. Hopefully we'll get on the board soon !

I took my fifth doe of the year, this morning. If things go well....I'll start being able to hunt differently in the future (this season). I have stayed out of the best spot for all but one sit, this year. I'm saving it for November.....from about the 10th, on. I'm not going in there to shoot a doe....let's just say. It'll have to be perfect for me to get in there, though.

I'm sorry I'm not much help, right now. I've been targeting these doe groups all season....and my mind isn't on bucks, right now. I don't know whether it would do any good, though. I didn't see any good numbers of bucks, last year, until after Nov. 10th, or so. They'll start looking for these does, soon.....and I'll be where they're looking.I'll do my best to come through.

I hope everyone is having a better year than I've had. Numbers don't mean everything. I'm learning lessons left and right.

GMMAT,

Numbers don't mean anything, but they are nice. I'm a pretty frustrated deer hunter right now, but
I will spare you guys my pathetic history of deer hunting. [:'(]

Sounds like you are sticking to your goal and getting back on track. If there are 15 less does (counting
the farmer/road) come the rut, it should be a more intense one. I know your property is deer saturated,
but that is going to have to have an effect. I don't buy those other guys saying it will take years to
have an effect - it doesn't appear that you hunt a huge amount of acreage, nor that it is surrounded by
lots of deer habitat. I bet your bucks are going to be saying, "Where dey at?" That's when they
will start moving your way.

Good luck guys. Won't be hunting this weekend even though weather is great and everybody is seeing deer. [:@]

Hey Team, Good luck this weekend! We have good temps here, my bro and I will be out, possibly some all day sits .. for me forsure..anyway.. take care and be safe this weekend, hammer one that makes you happy!

Troy,
I had a huge long reply typed back to you. Pressed send & your PM box was full.
I'll get to another one to ya thru email this time.

Well the deer didn't do the same thing as they did Wednesday night. Apparently that property isn't the Friday night hangout. I saw 9 deer there on Wednesday and not a single one tonight. Go Figure[&:].

I am going over to IL tomorrow for the whole day this time. I heard the guy who lives on the farm shot a doe last week. And his girlfriend saw a monster last Sunday morning. I am hoping a monster walks by me in the morning.
