Congrats, veterans day is one of my favorite hunting days!

Congrats to him outsmarting an old buck and Ugh to the EHD.

I experimented with this exact thing years ago. Just like with flash trail cameras, some deer didn't care at all and some deer freaked out.

I love owls! I stopped in the dark this morning just to listen to a great horned owl for a while. They can be crazy though. I have a video of one taking a shot at a deer. My brother was attacked repeatedly while walking out from his stand in the dark. I think they just wanted to chase him...

I was standing at an acreage auction last night and overheard a farmer talking. He was looking out at the timber in the distance saying he believes that type of ground will bring more than tillable someday. His claim was basically that just like how people are drawn to build homes by water, now...

I talked about sleeping in a blind in my harvest post this year. I believe it was integral in keeping the buck I was after using that area. There was no way I could have left undetected as many times as I hunted it if I'd have tried to leave each night. I've used that method in past years and...

I've tried everything from sleeping there, going in at midnight, going in at 3 am, and walking in in broad daylight. For most spots, most of the time, I like to be at my stand around 15 minutes before legal.

Good effort, nice buck too.

I packed it in today as well. I'll be back at it mid week.

For bowhunting, the only advantage I see for a blind is its ability to hold in my scent. If I could just leave the windows open, I'd hang a stand.

They seemed high to me. I don't remember exactly what they cost anymore though. I don't know how much time is involved so maybe i got a good price.

He's definitely got the bases of an older buck. I can't say anything beyond that though.

What does a fur like that usually run? I've had a fox and bobcat done in recent years and was pretty surprised at the cost.

That shot looks awful good too me. What am I missing? Unless he's quartering to quite a bit?

With the weekend over now I thought I'd take this thread full circle. I was able to call in a very mature buck in a small field on Friday night using grunts and rattling. I killed him over a decoy in the same field on Saturday night.

He's a pig, that shot looks pretty dang good to me.

Stud buck ! Congrats ! It's so fun when you follow them for a few years before tagging.

My guess is it's a trick, but yeah, looks old and saggy in the pic.

How did it go? Any mid day movement?

Pig!
