5 sits in the books and I am -0- fer.

Heat, humidity and mosquitoes. That is it this season so far.

Good shooting Gene.

 

My daughter smoked a nice 8 Friday evening. Her first archery deer. Proud Dad.

Congrats to your daughter! Nice buck!

 

Found her. She went about 80 yd. Nice mature doe. I set a new blind about 25 yards from a solitary red oak tree that is dropping like crazy and tons of deer poop under it. Four came in at 5:15. They knew the blind was new and were a little spooky but they settled down and I got a perfect shot. Its nice when you get back home before dark. Realized then I left my quiver in the blind. At least I hope that is where I left it.

 

Had a decent 10 walk by at 22 yards got me all excited. Decided to let him walk, other than that nothing but squirrels.

 

Im all settled...so weird how 75 feels comfy til your setting up a stand. Had 2 tiny ones at about 50 yards for an hour. Squirrels now!

 

Just put an arrow through a doe. It's been about 20 minutes. Gonna go have a look.

Friend of mine shot a dandy yesterday… I just can’t get motivated when it’s 80+ degrees out after work. I’d settle for low 70’s right now

 

Great looking hunting day.

 

Heading out this afternoon. Not sure how it will go but I have the time and opportunity and I try not to pass those situations up.

 

My anxiety has been horrible this week (been basically a week long panic attack). As such I didn’t make it out today. Hope for a better week next week. Good luck to those of you that are out.

 

Two fawns and a bachelor group of 4 bucks. Three small guys and a decent 8 point. Hanging in here for another hour or so.

 

Saw 4 does last evening, all hung up well out of range. Taking a break this morning. I'll be back out this afternoon/evening.

 

Im in at a 5c farm. Nothing yet besides acorns and squirrels.

 

Good luck everyone. I am 18 feet up where I drew the blank last night. Raining acorns here. Weird that i didnt see a deer while driving in.

 

Heading out in about an hour, good luck today!

 

Drew my first blank of the year. Nada, nothing, zilch....... Back at it in the morning.

 

Don't start archery until around Halloween........

 

Saw 4 doe and a spike. Was going to shoot the one doe but she had two little guys with her. Felt great to be back in the tree! Tomorrow’s a new day.

 

i’ll be out first thing in the morning for a little while👍🏻good luck to all that are out tonight

 

Back in the stand I was opening day. Didnt bump anything coming in. Red and black oaks a dropping.

 

Last evening was a bust for me.

This morning brought nothing but frustration. I hunted a new spot. Saw a lone doe sauntering past about 10 yards from the landowner's house and well out of range. Then 6 does come running up through the valley behind me, obviously very spooked. Minutes later, 2 more does from the other side of the valley run past, again very spooked. The mystery solved itself quickly as a big coyote followed the last two does. I would have been able to shoot the coyote, but here I had forgot to recharge my rangefinder and it was giving me false readings. Saw one more doe well out of range later. Bailed at 9:20 to regroup and recharge both me and my rangefinder.

 

Out this morning for a few hours. Jumped one going in and a doe came by once I was set up, but I didn't get a good shooting lane. Only thing moving were squirrels after that. Maybe getting out later this afternoon.

 

I’ll be out for my first sit tomorrow evening after work. Excited to get back in the tree! I’m thinking about shooting a doe to scratch the itch.

 

Had another pretty good evening. I ended up seeing 11 doe and a six-point. Almost had a 20 yard shot on a big doe but she never stepped where I needed her to.
