Wish me luck
 

Iam heading out 2morrow on a solo hunt.I have went solo before but only 5 or 6 times. I usually hunt with my dad. But he had some tests done for a surgery and can not hunt this weekend so i am solo. Hoping to put one down but i will have to wait and see. Hopefully i can get a good shot a this nice cemetrical 10 point we have running our wodds, but i would settle for a doe. So just wish me luck as i head out in the morning to hopefully fill a tag. Good luck to all the others who are heading out and be safe.

Be carefull......I have had some crazy things happen to me when I flew solo. I have fallen out of a tree but luckily nothing happend to me on that occassion. Keep you cell phone on you at all times if you need it easily! GOOD LUCK and be safe

The only reason i don't go solo that much is because i usually hunt private land and the land owner only wants me to hunt when i'm with my dad so i have to abide by her rules so i don't lose the property. But for the reasons of the tests and surgery she is going to let me hunt solo on her property now so that is a good thing. Usually when i hunt solo it is on public land in 1 of 4 spots which my hunting buddies know about and if i don't return, then they know where to look. Also my solo hunts are usually late in the season because that is when i make the long hikes for the big bucks and nobody wants to walk that far so i goit alone. so again be safe and good luck.

good luck stay safe .have a cell phone with you for emergencies and to tell your dad that you just shot a big buck

RE: Wish me luck
 

Make sure somebody knows where you are hunting and a cell is a great idea too. I got hurt 10/13/1998 in the woods, all alone, and I am lucky to be alive. I missed the whole hunting season and a month of work. After that, I always hunt with a buddy. Good luck!

Just hunt safe. No shortcuts when it's comes to fall restraints. 5 ft or 20 ft won't make much difference if you take a dixie. Its been raining here and those tree steps get awful slippery.I figure you have one down about now and need some help dragging.

Update, i pulled into my parking spot only to see a deer in the land owners front yard. He took off so i started to walk.I got to my stand about 45 minutes before light and got settled in. While sitting there i had a bat fly into me unknowingly itscared us both equally. Then right around shooting time i hear some noise coming from an old abandoned bridge about 150 yards away. Well as it turns out some kids gota four wheeler stuck while trying to shoot a deer that night.(poaching) The owner of the property next to mecaught them shortly after all of the noise.He was out hunting to except he was on the property lines about 80 yards from where the kids were stuck. So they got in trouble and i sat there trying to kill a deer. Well dnr ended up walking over and checking all of my licenses and tags. After he left it was around 8:30 am and i decided to sit for a while longer and at about 9:05 i see a small doe and a button buck but they never even came close due to the water level from the rain. It was a tad high and they didn't want to cross the creek. So i climbed down and left the woods angry and upset. Ended up leaving at 9:30. Now i sit here just finishing breakfast contemplating where i should hunt this afternoon and 2morrow morning. so how was everyone else's morning.
