Default New member/ hunt story

Just got set up on here, bowhunting is new to me, but fits my life style as I hunt a 60 acre ravine that hugs up to my dead end street neighborhood. Ive found active trails, rubs, and scrapes and have been baiting occasionally with the corn being gone almost every night its put out. Moving spots here and there with a climbing stand. Even targeted some acorn trees the other night. For a while I was seeing deer day/dusk then they went cold. Ive seen a few bucks when coming home at night also (4pt-6pt). The deer migrate along a powerline cut, into my woods to access the creeks/ pond in the ravine. Im guessing they are all moving at night here now, hence I havent been seeing them. Earlier this month I made a 20 yd shot on a 4pt, and had it pass threw... It started raining right after the shot, and I was unable to recover the deer after searching that night for hours, and the next day with friends helping. I believe I single lunged him. I guess nothing but more hunting and time will help to my success, Ive been using scent prevention of all kinds, and only walk certain trails. I also suspect these deer dont tweak on human smells, as they are walking into the plot pretty much crossing past houses. Looking forward to reading more good storys on this board, and meeting some new people. Good Luck

im so impress about the different story in here. it was a wonderful journey once in your life. most likely, it would be better if you place a picture with you while your on hunting.

thanks for sharing anyways....

Hmm, I have no idea if your mocking me or not cause your sentences are so broken, and so poorly worded, let alone make no sense. O well, its nothing more than a greeting post to let others know Im here, since these forums get pretty tight nit.
