What a morning. My spots have been dead so decided to get close to a bedding area up my hill and catch them before they got there. I have a climber waiting for me. Despite packing half my clothes i still managed to sweat up a storm and lose my breath while making my way up the hill. When i got to my climber i jumped several deer 30 yards away (no blowing) probably a 200 inch monster lol. I dont like the tree much as it has some knobs in it and you have to be careful where you place the stand as you climb. I also forgot how cumbersome wearing a stuffed backpack makes climbing. As i made my way up the tree i sounded like a grizzly bear mating a walrus in a pile of metal beach chairs. So here i sit waiting to cool off before i dress, smelling like a wrestling mat and certain every deer in the county is wondering how a grizzly bear fell in love with a walrus. edit actually they were bedded 20 yards from my stand lol.
If i kill anything today it will be in spite of my “hunting skills”. I did rub some of my wifes high dollar vanilla on my boots so that may cancel out all this morning’s mistakes. Lol.
Sitting in a blind in Jefferson with my 10 year old twin grandsons. One got a buck last year so his brother gets the 1st shot today. Heard 2 shots already nearby.
Thats really pretty clever on the deers part. If they bed next to your stand then they know when you are getting in it. They staked you out! Good luck today
Who’s hunting who? Sounds like they bagged you first. I’m sure you’ll get action. How long ya gonna sit there?
That’s made me laugh, . At least I’m not the only one with supreme hunting skills. No worries, bears mating whales is not one of the 3741 things that run deer off for good, he’ll be back later to check those scrapes.
Well one of the twins just got his 1st buck, it died 60 yards in sight of the blind and now it’s his brothers turn. We’re continuing to hunt until their Dad arrives to help .
