Awesome! Nothing like an arrow covered in blood.
Congrats to all. It's making me crazy to not have been out yet!

This morning's harvest. Walked out with my climber on my back and all my gear. Never even made it into a tree. This gal was just staring at me.
Not the best pic.

When All Else Fails.
Congrats on your kill.
I'll be heading out this week since we finally have some decent hunting weather.

Thank you and Good luck! Hunting when you wish you were in shorts doesn't feel right and meat spoilage is a concern.

They seem to still be on predictable summer-like patterns at my place. Missed a buck last night that jumped the string...or I shot high. Whacked an antlerless Friday though

Are you seeing more dead deer on the side of the roads yet? We seem to be seeing a few more now. Anyone seeing any rutting behavior? Just curious if it's that time of the year already.

Seeing lots of dead fawns. It's typical this time of year. The young stupid fawns are no longer attached at the teat to their moms. They are now learning/practicing their escape and evasion techniques. They run around like blind fools. They pay the price unfortunately.

In my part of paradise, I'm seeing mature does and a few young bucks. I'm not sure if it's the change back to warm weather that has them running or we're in a pre-rut situation. Seems mighty early for the rut to begin, but looking at the trees around here, you'd think it's the end of October.

Well, in looking at my calendar I see we just had a full moon. This is the full moon that precedes the rutting moon. Supposedly does do have a very minute estrus cycle on or about this time. That's what I have read, anyway. Maybe it's that. I've been seeing lots of dead fawns out my way.
Congrats to your son! That's a great buck and he was right to follow the water trail!Wow, what day! My 15yo son decided this was the year he is really going to hunt a lot and work on filling the family freezer himself.
We went out this morning and at about 7:30 a small 6 point came in and stood broad side at 25 yards, i told him to take the shot whenever he was ready. He shot and hit a little far back and hit the liver. I blame it on buck fever since he is probably a better shot than me and most MDS members
Anyways, knowing it wasnt a great shot we let the deer lay for a while and when we found first blood we had dark red blood and a great blood trail. Then Murphys law kicked in and the blood litterally stopped like someone turn off a valve. We looked all over and nothing! I had to leave for work, but i told my son to keep looking.
After hunting with me for years he knew a deer that didnt go down fast was heading for water so he started walking the creek and found his buck!
So now i have a 15yo that has never gutted a deer face timing me and we are doing step by field dressing on face time. It was a mess!!! To make matters worse, my wife helped him drag it out, i'm gonna be in the dog house for this one
My brother SummittCnty stopped by to help and the deer is at the butcher shop. All in all it was a crazy day, but he has a great first buck story
Can somebody fix the sideway picture please

I found two fresh rubs today when i got down. But as i was walking out, at the edge of my woods, unloading the crossbow bolt, an 8 point and a 9 point stood up in the brush right on the edge of my horse field and took off running. Theyre all over my trail cams, still in a pretty consistent pattern.

I was planning to go out tomorrow, but going to the range today to eight in my ML, the weather was just miserable. Tomorrow looks like more of the same. 80F, 100% humidity and drizzle does not sound like kind of s fun time.
Looks like a week from tomorrow I’ll run out the moment work is done to do some scouting and run my stand up to find a good spot for early muzzleloader later that week. Crossbow armed scouting. I’ll probably sit the evening.
