DE Archery Season December
 
I know its a little late for this thread, but there are a few days left.

Got the bow sighted back in this morning and headed out this afternoon. Saw about 11 deer from 2:45 - dark. Nothing ever got within bow range :( but it give hope for the next couple days. I'll hunt the same stand tomorrow and if the deer angle around me the way they did today, i'll move to a ground set up thursday. Its nice to be able to put a string of hunts together esp with deer moving this late in the season. I just hope the upcomming warm weather doesnt put the cabash on the whole thing.

The 50lbs of corn I put out on the 24th is GONE! They are really tearing it up. Here's hoping tomorrow will bring them into bow range.

My dad and I headed out today. I saw 6 deer come out into the field on the farm to the north right before sunset, but none graced our farm. Going to give it a break tomorrow and try again New Years Eve.

Encouraged by the amount of deer I'm seeing, but cant seem to catch a break. Looking at the calander, I figure I have 3 bow and 3 gun trips left weather permiting. I hope things change soon, or it will be the 1st year in a long while with no Venison. Thats why its called hunting though, not shopping.. ;)

Will post Fridays hunt when complete.

help me out...i am seeing deer between 11-12 in the morning. when are u seeing yours??? i huntied last week on my spot in NJ. i figured i would use my doe decoy and see what happened. well, this i what happened.

i set up and put the decoy out. i am going to keep this brief....at 12 pm i heard a snort...i looked to my right thinking it was a noise from a horse on the property next to the one i am hunting. wrong. the buck nervous as hell standing there looking at the decoy,,,,,wagging his tail though. i thought he would at least investigate it....NOTTTT. he spooked and took the 15 others, that i didnt see at first, with him....uGGGGGGGGG. i was in my ground blind and as they came around the back of me they must have seen it....well, the legs started moving really fast:) i am going to the trees next week and get in the lone wolf. i am going to need better socks...it was cold as heck.

I am seeing deer but nothing close enough to shoot at. Most of them in that magic hour, half hour before sunset till half hour after sun set. I hunt field edges and food plats this time of year.

glad to hear from u guys. i was going to hunt DE wed, but the weather looks a little suspect. i do not wantto stand hunt in weather like that. i might hunt form the trusty T2 blind though.

i just returned from an outfitter(outdoor) here in the king of prussia area. they had some nice winter undergarmets. exstatic wear and some nice thermals for under the hunting clothes. i think i might pick up some of them
this week.
