Anything moving today in the warm weather Ishi?
Went out from 6:15 to 7:45 this morning. Saw 5 bucks from a spike to a 3yr old 8, all dogging a very young doe at the same time. That was my 5 minutes of action then it was dead. Trying to get out of work early for this afternoon cold front but...
Well Daver, that's way more critters than I saw tonight. I guessed on this plot and apparently guessed it very wrong. Oh well, another beautiful evening.
....and I snapped this one on the walk back home. Didn't feel like butchering tonight anyway. All good! :)
Does and bucks all over me this morning. This pretty boy was really working the ladies for a night out as he exerted his dominance across the timber. Very tempting, but I just feel like he needs another 4 or 5 years to reach his potential. Today, he got a pass, but if I catch up with him in...
Deer movement has been as slow as it's been in a decade, but the scenery this year has more than made up for it. A couple hours in the stand just flys by, but maybe I'm just getting older and appreciating things a bit differently. However, I'm nowhere near as old as Daver.
Hunting atop a...
Saw 48 squirrels, 3 chipmunks, and 5 bucks total this morning, the biggest was this 3 point stud muffin.
But hey, beautiful morning and unbelievable sunrise. Good stuff!
I know you're just taunting me to pull out your swamp rat birthday suit picture again. Sorry man, but if I flash that picture more than once a year, Skip is gonna boot me out of here! No worries, I'm sure you'll give me some low hanging fruit and an excuse to post it up again next year. ;)
When I rattle I always seem to bust up my own knuckles or get busted. When I grunt, I say the wrong thing. When I snort wheeze I swear they roll their eyes. So my 4 step strategy is pretty simple.
1) Climb up
2) Sit down
3) Shut up
4) Don't move
Yes sir!! Most of the time she will win the argument, but every once in a while I send the perfect message that says "you will NEVER talk to me that way again!" ;)
Exactly!!! I thought I was chasing my "target" buck before I got trail cameras. I had seen him many times the year before and he was so slippery, never gave me a shot. He was a dandy 4 yr old 4x5. Then I got trail cams and realized there were 3 of him. :rolleyes:
And I am imagining everyone trying to get the cat out while ole Daver is frantically rummaging through his wallet trying to remember if he bought a kitty cat tag! :D:D
I think we can all agree there is not a law on the books that is worth a squirt of piss when your life is in jeopardy.
Sidenote,
I was supposed to go work on a guys furnace today. I sent a text to see if now was a good time. He said no, he was stuck in Illinois with vehicle damage after...
I've never been worried about my safety while sharing the timber with predator animals. HOWEVER, the above video posted by 203ntyp has got my full attention. If you look carefully at the 0:21 mark, the cat has launched into full strike mode and will close the distance in less than a second. I...
I have 3 very small (just big enough to encourage the travel route) brassica patches and got them in late, around August 20th. Caught a few nice rains and they came in great. Deer have been absolutely hammering them, almost too much. Went to hunt over one of them this morning and as it got...
