Well no luck fella's..I tracked him for 450 yards and lost blood in a deep hollow about 200 yards from the property line. I covered the remaining property in the hollow but no deer no blood. Sick... Big thanks to Morris for offering to help track . Unfortunately I'm all out of time till late Friday evening or Saturday. Work ruins everything.
In hindsight I just made a piss poor shot. Sucks to because I shot my steel plates in that same cutover and from same hill back during the summer...more than once. I had a decent shooting lane but wind was blowing so hard the sage would block my window and I believe I miss timed my shot between wind gusts. My eyes feel like beef jerkey after the last 36 hours. I had him dead to rice until he wasn't..

This ^^^^

Tuff Luck Shiloh - pretty sure most of us hav been there - I no I hav experienced it more than once

Not where I'm at. Deer everywhere this morning. Every field I drove past this morning had deer in it. But this afternoon should be great as well.

Just got on stand early for the afternoon - hunted w my gun this morn at big field - 4 slick heads - on my bow only lease this afternoon- they should move

Sounds like lot of u guys already had good hunts - DirkDaddy sounded like he had heck of hunt

Joe - u asked several replies back - not sure what sign you have on your hardwoods but cutover or gasoline sound hard to beat

Good luck guys

Deer from this morning.

Pro tip of the day.....

Don’t take deer movement tips from Outback or Ben2. 🙄

I saw a bunch this morning out tracking for folks.....they seemed to be on the move.

100% accurate statement there Shaw.

Shiloh, sure hate to hear you didn’t recover him. I’ve been there and it sucks. Hopefully that buck will recover.

Congrats ValleyDawg - good for you

Already got a pile of deer out. Only been here 5 mins

Doe down. Got set up and a pile of them came out 5 mins later

Just gave a nice 7pt a pass.

Cool. How much does that can tame that lever gun..??

Been in a tree for about an hour now. Cedars, limestone and small red oaks near the top of a big wash on the south facing slope
. Good luck to ll

Just got in a stand with a perfect west wind, hoping to get a big fat doe or a good buck this afternoon. Good luck everybody!

Been here since a little after 2.
They have been in and out since 2:17.

Just waiting to see what else shows up.

God Bless,

I'm out here in my usual spot. Nice evening to be hunting.

That looks good BOFF - love the Nefertiti’s been hunted this year part

Had lot of success over years by hunting fields for the first time in a season

Got one field left I hav not hunted I am saving for my son - pretty young 8 been coMing regular - can’t get NE wind

I love low pressure

I scouted some cutovers, but wasn’t happy setting up on them. Ended up on the gasline with a cutover on one side and thinned pines on the other.
