Just pulled cards for the last time before season. The ten point is still coming up a ridge finger every night 2-3x, and several times during the week. Seems to be getting more nocturnal though. If I've got the right wind, I'll be all over it this weekend.

I hope you get him. There's some good deer over in that area in Jefferson county. I have some friends over that way that have some big farms. They just won't let anyone deer hunt it.

There are some really good deer, if you've got good neighbors. Our problem is, we have people on all sides that shoot tons of little ones. I normally don't hunt this place at all, except for convenience

Checking in. I'm ok with BLM.

I haven't killed a buck in several years but I'll shoot a small one to help the team if I have to.

That's what I'm talking about! That's the kind of team mates you need to win there!

Team player. That's what we need!!

fellas, I'm getting excited!

I'm up and at em for my first sit. Don't feel real good about the spot but I'm excited anyways. Plan on buck hunting only for the first couple weeks, but if an ole nanny looks at me wrong you never know.

I was surprised at how well the deer were moving. Saw a few does but we're in zone b so I have to wait a little while.

I didn't hunt either afternoon. Saw 7 yesterday morning and 3 today. I was trying to get a chance at a decent buck I have on camera, so I passed on the does. I'll shoot a doe in the next few weeks.

Man y'all I messed up yesterday and let a big mystery buck get away. I blame it on trail cameras and not having high expectations for my spot. I hadn't had a shooter on this camera yet this year, and had a pair of spikes coming in regular every afternoon. Well sure enough yesterday afternoon I hear some deer walking towards me and a spike pops outta the woods so I immediately relax and assume the next deer that steps out will be the other little spike. Was I ever wrong a wide thick horned 8point steps out, and would've been my biggest deer ever. As big bucks do by the time I decided I was going to shoot he was already walking away, and I wasn't able to get a shot.

Dang man. I hate that. Maybe if he wasn't spooked he'll come back around.

Atleast you're in there on them! I did a quick hunt this afternoon with a friend and he killed one that I missed lol. I let it walk by at 20yds, then watched it at 40-45 for 30 minutes before deciding to shoot it. I had to basically stuff my bow into some branches to shoot that direction and my rangefinder was on the fritz. Don't know id if I hit a limb or misjudged the distance, but it ran right over to him and he whacked it. I'm normally good for about one miss a bow season, so hopefully I got that out of the way lol. On the plus side, I've seen deer every sit, even with the crappy conditions. Much better sightings than last year.

Anybody having any luck?

Went yesterday afternoon and I'm lftt now. Seeing deer just not shots yet

Saw a few this morning that were all does. I have about 5or 6 bucks on camera in one spot with one being big enough to shoot and another that is close. All my pics are at night though! I'd like to catch him with that velvet still on. I've never shot a buck big enough to score so what do y'all think he will go?

120ish, hope you get him!

That's a good deer. I hope you get him. I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow afternoon. Having a sick youngin at the house this weekend messed my weekend of hunting up.

I broke down and killed a doe today. Of course 30 minutes later I had the 10pt I've been chasing come in and stay within 40yds for almost 45 minutes. Never could get a shot and he either winded me or smelled the blood and kinda trotted off. He's bound to mess up sooner or later. Don't think I boogered him too badly.
