The temps finally drop, wind dies down afetr blowin 25 mph for half a week, deer are movin, and i got a date winth my ground blind. see 2 does at first light,not close enough. watch a little fork horn dog a young doe off the pasture and then walk off.

The guess what. the nieghbor decides to pull his F-350 up in the field and unload his skid steer and start working on his pond dam.[:@][:@]

another morning lost.

Dude that sucks. I feel your pain. I had a small buck and a doe start coming into my back yard yesterday morning. I grab my bow and go to step out on the deck, only to be disappointed that my neighbor walks out to burn his papers, deer took off [:@][:@]. I only have a doe tag left and no where to get one. The land I hunt on, the land owner said no does this year, let them walk. I can hunt my neighbors 15 acers, but he wont let me put up a stand and the area is very hard to hunt on the ground with a bow. [:@]

I feel for ya. Yesterday (condition wise) should have been perfect here in PA, but I saw two deer the entire day. That's by far the worse Saturday I've had all season, and people all around PA are seeing chasing and dropping deer...around here it's like a wasteland. I don't get it sometimes. Just hang in there, though, it all comes down to patience and persistance.

persistance i have patience...thats another question. i was sitting there figuring i've only put in about 75 hours this year which isn't alot for me. they put me on 10 hour shifts so i only have the norings to hunt now. and this spot is an afternoon hotspot.

Same in my area! A wasteland. As far as patience and persistance go, since Oct 11th up until yesterday, I'vehunted 17 days totaling 140 hours. Of those 17 days, 9 were all day sits. My last 4 sits I've seen NOTHING!I've seen only 16 deer during this time.[&o]I think it has to be this week for us Matt.

my last week was the wasteland. then this week there was deer everywhere. you guys will be in the thick of it before ya know it.
