Eman, I've not seen any horns yet and I pulled my field-cams so I don't know if any is sneaking about after hours.  Last night I was on the ground and just at dark, I had mommy and two Bambi's run right up to where I was standing and again not enough light for those stupid glow pins.   They couldn't have been more than 15 yds when they winded me, ran back into the field, watched for a bit and began feeding.   I sure hope all these ladies running around will entice a legal shooter for me to see.
 
I'll be out the next three days with my trusty 30/30,  let them deer come out into the bean field tomorrow around 6:00 PM, I'll be awaitin.  Stupid deer.
 
Good luck.

Gave it a shot yesterday afternoon since the weather man is calling for rain rain and more rain the next few days. Was all quiet until just before 6 when a doe and the smallest fawn I've seen in a long time came screaming in under my stand. They hung out for just a minute before making their way into the brush. Sat anxiously waiting to see what was behind them when I finally heard it. 2 guys from the neighboring property mother **** their way through the woods on the track of one they hit. Ended up finding it 60 yds or so from my stand. It's pretty thick so I never could see them or the deer, but could hear them plain as day. Congrats to them, but I was kinda bummed my evening ended right when things normally start picking up. Oh well, back at it Saturday hopefully.

Anyone hunt today? Kinda wish I did after our shatty day of ( nks) for ducks Or geese it sure was windy here I plan on sitting tomorrow evening, on a side note picked up 3 new stands of Facebook heck yea!

Watched several deer feeding in the field to my south while the wind and rain roared in from the north. Never regretted watching the action from the comfort of my favorite deer stand as my rifle and my bow hung safely in my man cave.

May try and brave the elements in the morning but the weather dude says 10-20 MPH wind with 40 MPH gust to be expected. Not likely to be a good day for sitting in a tree or shooting at something with a stick.

Headed out shortly to brave the wind. At least the rain is supposed to hold off for a while. Hoping they're up and moving today

Hunted this evening froze my****off seen a 3pt, seems I see that buck every year he never gets bigger! Felt good to jump back on the horse tho come on East wind!

Deer everywhere for my son and I this evening hunting out of our ground blind in the corner of a green field.

One small buck chasing the 10 does and skippers we saw all over the place. At one point or another, he chased off every single one of em.

5 minutes before shooting light ended, a very nice buck - with a rack big enough to see with the naked eye 150 yards away in the fading light - stepped out to work a scrape.

Have seen lots of action the handful of times we've been out and have seen some cool sights from the ground blind.

Sure wasn't cold when the sun was up but mercy, that changed quickly when the sun went down.

Stayed away from my tree stand and sat on a bucket in the brush so I could keep out of the wind. Ask me how that worked out.

Saw several deer but they wouldn't come close enough to let me kill em...... Errr, harvest one with a stick.


Stupid deer!!! 👻

BTDT, are you an early retiree who's still too young to use a rifle to shoot a doe this weekend, or do you choose to carry the stick, with the hopes of whacking a buck?
 
Gave my son the option of rifle or crossbow tonight.  If he had chosen the .243, he could have had his pick of 5 big does.  As it was, we had one doe at 15 yards broadside, but she snuck in front of us while our eyes were diverted towards the buck chasing the other deer around and would have busted us had he clicked off the safety or moved into position for a shot.  

I qualify for using a rifle but you hit the nail on the head. Thursday was suppose to be 3030 day but I've become a fair weather predator. Friday and today was crossbow day.

Had I carried the rifle yesterday I would have had a chance for a Doe in the morning and second in the evening.

I've only had the past two years to put real time in for hunting and fishing. So far this year It's been a ball just seeing so many deer in my hunting area as compared to the past two years.

I can't wait till the Rut kicks in.

In addition, I look forward to reading stories from all you archers.
