Had a bachelor group come through at 35 yard and stop, had they kept moving they were almost to my 22 yard lane. They stopped and were sniffing, I was downwind and over 20' up tree. The walked back and around the other side of this wash.....ugh

I heard a twig break behind me and its a coyote, I think they smelt him??
Nice 8 I have pics of, oh well....they gone
It was still nice to see some deer, after they got out of sight, I sat down and my hands were shaking.. Still a great rush

Were they walking across the area where you walked in? A lot of times deer will cross over you your path and booger on your scent left behind

I'm covered up in them

They were still over 30 yards from where I walked in, I guess it's possible they smelt my tracks? I always dig my boots in the leaves and dirt real good to try and mask or wipe off any smell. That coyote was kinda flanking them, I really want to think that's what got me. It's a guess though. The challenge of archery, I love it!

Be safe guys, there's a rain shower coming in ahead of schedule around Birmingham around 10-11 o'clock. It's gonna stop til around 5 after that one passes. I may try to hunt this afternoon between showers.

I'm at the house. After killing the 8 point yesterday evening and my 5 year old up at midnight puking, I decided to stay in!

I've seen two boxers, 800 squirrels, and one yearling so far.

Just stuck a nanny!

Congrats TeBone

Doe down compliments of the recurve. Enjoying the light rain now.

Thought I would repost this one more time in case anyone missed it the other day.......

This only being Otis�s second tracking year, I still need to get him on some easy finds as well as the true lost ones. He�s ready to start working those harder tracks this year but I really need to put him on 2 or 3 easy ones here up front. If anyone around me is interested, I will make you a deal. If you shoot a deer over the next week or two that you know you�ve smoked or seen crash 100 yards away�..if you�ll allow me to bring Otis out and put him on that track then I�ll come back later on and track your next true lost deer for free with no finder's fee. This is for anyone within say 50 miles of Macon Co�..I need 3 good tracks of 100-200 yards or so where you know the deer is there dead at the end. Thanks fellas. Good luck this weekend.

I'm getting skunked right now, I'm staying in the tree for another few hours

Congrats Darrin.

Wish I was at yalls camp! Didn't bring snack. I'm starved!

Sat in the stand from 6:20 till 10, even the squirrels were not moving today, guess I'll put my new sight on when the mail runs and spend the rest of the day sighting in.
