Got jumped by a wall hanger on Saturday. Doe came crashing up the hill and stopped 20 yards from me looking back the way she came. I quickly pulled up, than realized I'm not allowed to shoot her with the 22 mag. She busted me and kept rolling the way she was headed. Stupit gray skirls spun me around in my spot and I dared em to come up out dat tree. 10 minutes later, I hear a Loud trumpet sound coming from where that doe came from. I spins around real fast for a look, and its a monster buck. So in conclusion, I thought, maybe I should have had the smoke pole....No, I should have had the bow. Either way I never did get either of them 2 gray skirls.

Sounds like you had a really bad day bagging game but a tremendous day for the making of chyts & giggles and some great memories. Stupid 'skirls'. Made me chuckle much. Thanks for the read.

Yinz can see a kinda white square which is really a shooting backstop 5' high x 6' wide, 200 yds away. Now using your imagination, imagine a very large, elusive white tailed deer standing to the left of the backstop. Also imagine two more white tailed deer standing just behind the backstop while imagining my highrise groundblind directly to the right of that same backstop. Imagine the shots those deer are presenting to the lucky hunter sitting in that blind. Can you imagine how his heart might be thumping as he chooses which white tailed deer he will take. Imagine how stealth like, his every movement as he brings his bow to ready. Imagine if that were yours truly, breathing in then slightly exhaling, before holding my breath as I level my sight pin on the vitals of my target. Imagine me thinking "sight small shoot small" as my finger touches the trigger of the release aid.

But wait, the idiot taking the picture is me, 200 yds away.... imagine that?

Sounds like you might need a camera man..................

Haha...... imagine finding somebody willing to take pictures anywhere near me, with a weapon in my hands. 😱

Heard combines today, working distant fields. Imagine deer will be moving a bit more as their corn field cover becomes less and less.

Well BTDT entertaining as usual love it 😜👍... I finally hit the stand this afternoon. Had a pretty active evening last hour of light . Only problem all the action was on other side of field from where i was at. Saw 14 deer , one small buck a tall 4pt that I tried to grunt down to me but he said no thanks .... lol. Rest all doe nothing close and all on the run across the field of course away from me in the corner were I was in the stand waiting on them .... oh well next hunt ..... nice afternoon though ... good luck guys !!

Steve ya gotta watch them deer calls when communicating with deer grunt speak. Calling to that 4 point, (still a trophy), he was hearing "come here and get your asz.... KICKED". However, had he been a trophy 'hat rack' he would have heard the same message except the "kicked" part. 🎃

PS. Always, always, after using a deer call to communicate "grunt speak", "always" exercise extreme caution when retrieving equipment from the ground, while bending over. 🙊🙉🙈


Likewise, when still hunting, never use the "hands & knee" crawling method while wearing "Tinks" Doe Pee.😲

Got a rain day Monday, hunted the evening dss not even a bird or squirrel it was super windy till dark so I imagine that's the reason for lack of movement none of my buddy's saw anything neither. Yesterday morning would of been money to be out probably seen 100 deer from greenville to 79 to 80 but ofcoarse I was working I feel the flu coming on here in a week or so

My evening was eventful as well.  Hit the woods after work to get a quick sit in.
Get situated about 4:40 and pull my phone out to finish up a couple emails for work.  At 4:55 i thought I heard a crunch but not sure, look around and nothing.  A couple minutes go by and I notice a doe fawn directly under me.  hmm....sneaky.  She milled around for awhile then proceeded to bed down 15 yds from me, looking in my direction.  Luckily I was up about 25' so I could get away with small movements.  I was locked into my seated position now.  About 6pm, she perks up and I hear why.  More doe/fawns coming out of their bedding area and working their way to me.  In total, 5 more work they way around me.  About 615pm, I hear grunting but if it's a shooter, nothing I can do w/o getting busted so just watch.  Luckily, it was only a tall 3 pt. half hearted bumping some of the fawns and doe.  Not long after that, one of the momma does sniffs where I walk in and snorts a couple times and bounds off 20 yds.  Deer scatter but not far.  For the rest of the evening, the doe/fawns all mill around under me again, with mommas inspecting where I walked in thoroughly.  The 3 pt comes back in, bumps them off for good then browses under me until dark, and he also inspects my walking path well.  He finally works off and then a couple raccoons work their way through and I can finally get down out of the tree....  fun night.
