Congrats to all of you that scored today! You definitely deserved it for sticking out the rain. I'm not much of a rifle hunter, and I'd definitely take a foot of snow over the rain so it didn't bother me to be at work today.

5 of my crew scored to-day including 2-9pts; 2-8pts; & a 6pt. my son got a very cool looking 8pt. with a approx. 5" drop tine & a crab main beam. congrats to them for sticking it out in what was at times very nasty weather. It is killing me to not be able to be there as I am sure you & other fathers & Mothers know. At least I will be getting some fresh Deer liver.   sam

Way to go eyes, there's nothing like quality time with the kids in a deer stand.
 
What a difference a day makes, There's 4-6" of snow on the ground in my corner of the state. Hopefully it helps out those who are still searching for the elusive whitetail.
 
Okay I figured out this picture thing
Mike

There's uncle cs from today

Sunday I had to go get a cam on public access before it grew legs to pull it found a 4pt shed I'm digging this snow it's time to quit roofing lol

Sorry mopars0. Some people are just wrong. 

Sorry to hear that mopars. Some folks are just jerks.

I’ve had to toss people out of tree stands more times than I care to recall. All were on posted, private land where they shouldn’t have been anyway.

One was a wooden, built stand and when confronted, one a—hole told me that since it was a permanent stand on private ground, he figured it belonged to either the landowner, family, or friend, so it had to be a good spot. He said his plan was to hunt it, hoping that someone didn’t show up and if someone did, he would just leave.

The next year, there was no one in my stand, but just after light, a shot was fired so close (behind a little rise in the terrain) that I could hear the person work the action of a bolt action rifle. When I went down to see, it was the same guy as the year before. He told me that since he figured I would be in my stand, he got in a position to cut the deer off before they got to me.

I just shook my head and walked away because he felt he was okay in doing that on ground he had no permission to hunt. As I went back to my stand, not in the best frame of mind to enjoy (sometimes people forget this whole hunting and fishing thing is supposed to be fun) the rest of the day, I called the landowner (this was the first year I had a cell phone), who was hunting another of his properties to let him know the same guy was there again. He told me that he saw that a road gate was open (the lock was cut) on his way hunting, so he put a new lock on it (there would be no other way out as the road deadended in the woods) and called his uncle, who was on duty as a State Trooper to give a few drive bys if possible.

I find out that the uncle’s timing for showing up was perfect as he arrived at the gate just as the jerk was cutting the second lock, complaining that someone locked him in. Not only was he charged with criminal trespass, because he destroyed the locks, but he also had six cherry logs, that the landowner cut and left to pick up after hunting season in the back of his truck.

Some people are just jerks.

Wow! Eating your lunch? That is really low.

I have a treehouse, a 12’ X 12’ platform really, on my property. We had a guy and a girl park at the end of our driveway, walk through our yard, through our field, and into the woods.

It took me a while to walk after them, getting a Glock along the way, and by the time I got there, they were having a big time in the treehouse (it was summer).

When I confronted them and asked if they were lost, the guy gave me attitude that he knew exactly where he was and was not happy about my disruption.

Edited due to double post. 

Interesting reading...I sat Monday saw deer but nothing legal does and lil buck.
Very quiet around here not much shooting at all.
Busy with work might get out tomorrow definitely Saturday...WCW

More rain for Saturday....yeahhhhh......
We were going to trek up north to my cousin's place in Warren Co. and let the kids have a go at it up there but, not making that trip for another wash-out.  We'll try to get out around the house here in 2B if there are any breaks in the weather and hold off on the trip up north until the last Saturday.
 
Good luck ya'll....

That story was believable until the trespassing hunter ate his lunch. And I'm not surprised he went out and bought a 6.5 Creedmoor. Its the new "it" gun

Brock, that was over 25 years ago.lol So I'm guessing I was about 35 or so. I was and still am a short fuse guy.  A lot of things flash before you but fortunately I got a grip on things before things got out of hand. I sat in the tree house rehashing that all day. Thankfully that little 10 pts came by. lol Plenty of stories in a lifetime of hunting and fishing.

My son bagged a 6 point today about 11am with me......a carpenters buck ...2 x 4....lol
At least the rain held off.....I never seen a tail all day...thanks to deer carts the drag out was gravy....for him....lol

  
 
   

Congrats to your son,I sat from 7:20-9:30 no deer and one shot heard. I stayed at my business till 4:30 and drove home. I saw a very nice 8pt in a green field at 4:50 then a doe and a fawn close to my house. Not much happening for the first Saturday.
