I GOT OUT THIS MORNING !!! Nothing major it was just nice to get out for a few hours. It is still so darn warm. I saw 2 doe but when the sun came up I was sitting 25 yrds from an unbelievable rub line only feet inside the tree line in route to a cut corn field. The rubs were high and they were on some nice size trees. CAN'T wait to get back out there~!!!

I like the boot pads, on the way to the stand, then I use the canisters with the wicks at the stand! I've tried a bunch of different scents, but always end up going back to Tinks69. The biggest deer I ever shot came through the woods like a freight train, and stuck his nose right in my film container with Tinks in it! I've also shot a doe with her nose in a Tinks container! I usually don't start using scent until a week or 2 before the rut!

I've also had a "close" encounter with a deer because of the boot pads, and Tinks!! When gun hunting, I almost always still hunt.(spend enough time in a stand bow hunting). Well after a morning of beating the brush I find a downed log to sit on, with a tree to lean against! After about 15 minutes, just enough time for me to start to dose off, Ihere a little rustling behind me, only to turn and see a deer staring back at me, at about 3 feet!! I swear I saw my reflection in his eyes!! When he bolted, he nearly jumped right over me! Scared the %^&* out of me! I never even got a shot off! I just ducked out of his way!!! To this day I still laugh at myself, about that day, I reacted like a scared little girl!!

Just got back from my evening hunt. Had one little 5 point playing games with me. I had so many chances to shoot him, but it was fun to just sit and watch him eat. Saw 8 more turkeys right after I got in my stand. Going out tomorrow right after lunch to do a little scouting, and hopefully move a couple of stands. I will sit tomorrow evening, but then I will be done until Sunday evening, we are going camping for the weekkend.

Made it out last night for about 45 minutes with my 4 year old son. Didn't see anything but still fun. Got up this am to get ready for work, and a beautiful 9 point was standing in the back. I got a couple minutes of video, I'll try to post some pics tonight or tomorrow.

RE: 25 Official Team The Bone Collectors Thread
 

Now that I reviewed the video, I'm asking myself the same thing. I work out of my house but had to be in the office for several meetings today. So I saw this buck as I was dressed and packing up my computer to head into the office. I told my boss today, had I had a better look and realized yesterday morning that he bedded down right there, I never would have made the meetings.

Here are the pictures as promised...

WOW, that is one nice Buck! You had better keep an eye out for him to come around again. Well, I went out and moved another stand this morning, and did a little more scouting.I am leaving today for the weekend, we are going on our last camping trip for the year. I will hopefully be back on Sunday in time for me to hit the woods for the evening. Everyone have a good weekend.

I went out last night, this morning = nothing, but too damn hottt!! I attempted to go out this evening, but after being in the stand for about 15 minutes, the wind changed, and I left!! It's so dang hot you sweat just sitting in the stand!

Supposed to stay hot all weekend, so I'm going fishing!!!

Hey everyone,

I am leaving on the 12th for SD. It is a 10 day bowhunt and I am hoping to score for the team. Last year I saw alot of good bucks but couldn't close the deal. The weather is looking good for now, I hope the forcast is correct. Nice pics Pops I hope you bag him soon. I will be checking back in on the 22nd and I expect our team to have at least one deer in the books.

Good Luck to everyone
