BTDT .... new scope being mounted today dropped bow off the morning at the local outpost shop , going to sight it in also will be back in woods soon.... you’re making great progress on your project ..... I mean OUR PROJECT 😜👍🍺

Dar, 
 
If you quest is for a better buck, and you have no burning desire to just go hunting, then you have a sound plan to wait till Halloween to hit it hard. Once the switch is flipped, the action can be steady all day long. My best days are usually between the 3rd and 8 of November for buck movement. For the biggest deer, it is tough to beat the last few days of the season. 

BeenThereDoneThat.
MoPars don't keep us in suspense...... TELL US ABOUT THE NEW SCOPE. 🔭?🔬?

I will let ya know as soon as I get bow back , just told them to call me when it’s done , told him what ever it takes just want it to be right ! .... SENECA OUTPOST doing it

BTDT ... ok got bow back today , just put another TruGlo scope on it, shots good ... the other truglo was good until it wasn’t 😜👍. Got 6 yrs out of it ...$75 I’m Happy ... back at it tomorrow morning . Checked cameras today big boy was still on it... with 2 more smaller bucks and a doe and actually in the daylight ... big boy is a night owl though 😜👍🍺

BTDT ... well 5 doe ...no horns today , daybreak until 11:00 .... didn’t go this afternoon to warm for me ... changing AM to PM hours on my camera might be a good idea buddy 😜👍🍺 ...

BTDT,your platform looks a little weak to me.lol Looks like you could hold a herd of buffalo on that structure. lol

Busted hump all week at work and took yesterday off. Morning sit produced a 1pt half rack spike that seemed to like giving me broadside looks for about 10 min. No deer seen on the afternoon sit. Slept thru the alarm this morning and its supposed to be hot this afternoon, so I probably won't be out today.

As a side note, this year I decided to pick up some earth cover scent disks to try out. As the name says they smell pretty much like a huge pile of dirt, and its pretty strong. Can't say I put a ton of effort into scent control other than washing my clothes in the dead down wind detergent, and trying not to sweat too much on the way in. Normally I just try to play the wind. Well yesterday that little buck played right along and came in from up wind where I figured he would. Went right across the path I walked in on without showing any alert, but once he got in behind me in line with the wind it was over. Now I've been blown at by deer that have winded me, but this guy blew at me almost a dozen times before he finally took off. After the commotion he caused I didn't really figure I'd see anything else. Maybe it was just my normal scent that threw him into a tizzy, but I don't think ill be using the heavily scented disks anymore. Just seemed like an extreme reaction for the first time trying out the scent disks.

Them blue eyed little bugger's is just so damed cute. I just can't release, standing at full draw, if I see those big blue eyes looking back at me.👀



Crappy_Slayer those disc would have likely worked had they simulated the dirt you were hunting over.

A very wise Hunter told me once-upon-a-time, always remember hunting deer is like walking into your own living room. If a piece of furniture has been added, removed or, relocated you will know it. If a scent from a burning candle or air freshener is in use or been changed, you will know it. Deer know their living room too.

Back in those good old days, unless you wanted to smell like a bottle of deer pee, we made our own cover scents. Clothing hung in the barn, clothing stored in bags with pine branches and yes, with dirt|leaves|etc, from the area we hunted.

But that was merely "masking" (so we thought) and served no purpose to draw the deer to us.

A universal cover scent is that of deer food. One food, it is said, that drives deer crazy is "white acorns". Not always available, for a couple of reasons, but Will "draw" deer when they pick-up the scent.

Store bought scents are available or one can make his own scent, with a couple hand fulls of white acorns.

A close substitution that will make the little rascals take a step in your direction is "Vanilla Extract". (not imitation Vanilla)

Keeping in mind, those darling little cuties know and become weary when something has changed in the living room but who can ignore, the smells coming from the kitchen?

As for those disc that didn't perform as expected, it's still more fun being over the dirt VS under the dirt....10-4?


Be well and Hunt safe.

Copy the seven Crappy_Slayer, go get that critter and whatever ya do, don't look em in the eye. I think the sons-O-guns have the power of hypnotism. lol


As for the scent, it's legal to smell like food, just not be the food.

Can't imagine the story's we be hearing about Doe-n-Heat!!

Good luck!

Good info jigs. I could see how it might be mistaken for a fresh scrape smell. Maybe that little guy thought he was gonna get his azz kicked again seeing as he was already missing one spike 😜

I know but the old days are my favorite! Didn't have to dress up in a pumpkin suit and if you got a deer, regardless of points or size for that matter, it was something to be proud of! By the way I just sold my 30-30 about three years ago. 
   Someone needs to run out to BTs new condo! I think he fell asleep waiting for the Comcast guy to show up.
