Default Am I All Alone?

I keep seeing kills on here and am starting to wonder if I am the only hunter out there with stories to tell, but none about deer.

Last week a six pointer stomped on my ground blind and scared the ever lovin crap out of me; and

Yesterday while waiting for a deer to walk into a shooting lane, I got narc'd off by a turkey that walked so close I could have probably pulled an arrow out of the quill and stabbed him without using a bow.

Also yesterday morning went to my stand and somehow the ladder tiedowns had become disconnected and the stand had the safety pin pulled to where if I had made it up there, the stand would have fallen as soon as I stepped on it.

Thinking about starting the WTH BEUPW club

Hang in there AF. Is this that ground that you are buying here in Iowa???? I haven't even got out, but I did take Antler Eater up on this new spot I got and we did get a stand put up. He thinks this place could be a grand slam. I hope he is right!!! You will have it all come together.

Yeah its on that 300 acres I have permission to hunt that includes the 25 acres. My biggest concern is I think someone trespassed and messed with my stand. Of course yesterday was the beginning of muzzle loading

Nope your definately not alone on this ,I was out this morning but the high wind's were just to heavy to consider staying ,as well There were dirt bike's running all over the place today ,there just happened to be a cross country comp going on and I'll bet there must have been 500 bike's ,so there was definately no reason to spend any more time in this forest .

You're right about that. Last year I sat in a ground blind and watch turkeys attack a doe, which I found quite amusing. hahahaha

Early muzzle loader opened yesterday here in Iowa. Only heard one shot, but saw a lot of deer on the move all around my land.
