Warm = nice sitting but late deer movement



It was a great weekend as far as temperatures go but not so nice for deer movement. The deer we saw were really late (15 minutes before dark) We still saw some bucks this past weekend but they were either small or out in the dark. I did have a little visitor in my stand Saturday afternoon. Here is a picture of him. Its always cool seeing the wildlife.

Bow hunting update


Just an update on how the season is going for me and my wife Julie and some friends and family. I am feeling a little bummed today because I made, what I felt, a really good shot on a doe last night but ended up never recovering her. I found my arrow and that was where the blood trail ended. I must have hit her a little high in the shoulder area.


Above is a 4pt we jumped while tracking her.



The younger bucks are really starting to rut. I saw 2 last night chasing does. Julie saw the same 8 pt that Ross and Matt video taped. She saw him on Wednesday. So its getting really exciting where we hunt hope it is for everyone else.
