About 4:30 PM I heard three rips from a high power very close to my back yard. I guess it was a youth doe hunting.

Little breezy in my stand right now. Hope it calms down a little for prime time. Kicked one out on my way in (ufo) but nothing seen yet from the stand. Just nice to be back in the stand. Getting a little chilly too. Guess I should have brought my jacket.

Easy there, Eyes...
I got my****chewed for making a post while on stand once.
Good luck out there!

Sat. I noticed a e-clip retainner missing and the cam axle was out about 1/32 inch on my crossbow. Sure happy I didn't have a deer come into range and present a shot. The axle also passes through a cable mount and I'm certain something would have gone ka-boing or ker-thunk if I pulled the trigger.

Had to use the cocking rope to let the bow down.


Didn't make it out today, installed a new fiber optic sight (with light) on my trusty Bear Compound then spent time shooting the crap out of my bags and 3Ds, waiting for the sun to set so I could play with the light. 🎃

What the heck do you need a light on a bow/xbow/gun ???   Doing a little night shooting, Nice if it's to dark to see your pins it means it's after shooting hours. RIGHT ?  Hmmm deer steak and eggs for breakfast tastes so good LOL

Real nice morning in the stand.  Had 34 F when I pulled into my parking spot.  
Action didn't start until 8:15 am but ended up hearing grunting, saw some chasing and saw 10 deer in total.  Two separate little 1.5 yr olds (one was a 3 pt and one was a spike) and the rest were does and fawns.  The 3 pt. was harassing the doe and her fawn.  I don't think she was ready he was just being overzealous.  Saw them twice so only saw 7 separate deer for sure.  
 
Darn ticks are everything but warms my heart seeing them curling up and falling off my pant legs.  Thank you kindly Sawyers!

Messed up on this guy last night. Grunted him in but he came in behind me and I couldn't see him. Went to turn around in my stand and he was standing broad side at 25 yards....Saw the movement and game over...

Wow bing ..... I'd probably fall out of my stand 😜...... GO GET-EM BUD !!!

 
 
Hey Bing, there is a good point about your picture.   Now I don't feel so bad. lol  
 
Ya gotta hate em when they 'neak-up on ya  especially after sitting in a tree for a couple of hours in the wind at 42 degrees F.
 
Stupid deer.........                                
 
 
                                                         15 yds.
                                                         Could hit him with my cell phone.
 
 
 
Turned out to be a button buck with some good sized buttons.  Maybe live to play another day.
 
 
 
Good luck with that Buck ya called in Bings, that in itself is exciting.
 
 
 
Mopars, hope you enjoyed the races and had a good time bud, how about some good hunting stories along with some racing stories.
