Manuman...sorry to hear that...AGAIN. keep at it....youll find a live one somewhere...

AP...awesome pics and deer...lookin forward to seein one with you behind it!!

as you guys know i doe hunted saturday...to keep it short, morning i hunted the orchard i talk about. broke light, windy as heck...and looked across the orchard to the thicket the deer bed in and theres a new stand hung in the only big tree in the thicket idiot...cant enter without bumping deer...and even if he DOES...no matter what wind he got it blows to the thicket or to the orchard! idiot...he wasnt there...not sure whose it is...house a couple hundred yards up the hill...i dont know if the owner let someone else hunt or what...glad i wasnt banking on hunting there too much...

evening i sat on a beautiful point in the woods behind the orchard. regular season it sees alot of pressure so i never hunt it. tons of trails...usually rubs all over...nuts and acorns all over...great spot. 7pm i caught movement..sure enough DEER! 30-35yds left. im already standing and ready...trail its on should take it 15yds to a lane...watched it a couple minutes and it fed up the hill away from me...it was browsing not eating nuts...

will be back after them this weekend.

went scouting today at that state park i scouted before. walked for 2 hours straight. beautiful woods. great lookin woods actually. walked mountain bikers and hiking trails. topo and park map only showed 2 bike trails and 1 hiking trail. BS! you cant walk 100yds without hitting the trails. between that and hunting pressure i think thats why there aint no deer sign. i was quiet on them nice paths...never seen a deer...deer trail...deer track..poop NOTHING. im done messing around in there. might be deer there...but its hard for deer not to leave sign 2 hrs of steady walkin...probably 4 mile circle and i never saw anything to catch my eye...really think its hunted HARD and the bikers and hikers keep deer out of the area...seen 1 car there last week and 2 today...all looked like hunters out scouting...so i wont be back in there.

maybbbbe hit that new gamelands on wed...but i dont know. i been hunting a state game lands since i was 12 thats 20-25minutes away. i only have evenings to hunt so that aint bad...might just stick with what i know...spots up there are endless for me...just gotta find the deer...the area grew up and changed alot since dad and i used to hunt it...but i think i can find deer...last year only had 2 encounters...once got winded...the other i jumped one...but was hunting bad spots...

also got semi bad news today. parents put a bid in on a house...it passed ! so now we gotta have it inspected...if that passes we are moving...only to the next town(back yard is the woods i hunted saturday...can SEE my orchard stand from the house talk about luck eh?? food plot for the back lawn??? lol..

but i hope moving doesnt interfer with my hunting too much....mom says probably about 2 months till we actually move...but that means weekends im packing, working at the new house, then eventually packing things into a truck and moving to the new house...my parents are pretty understanding...i should be alright..but i dont know...i gotta help though...they put a roof over my head


keep at it boys!! someone get some bone on the ground!! get us on the board!!

less then 2 weeks and im hunting for antlers!! i cant wait. would really love to let the air out of a doe this weekend...with any luck, i just might
