Just seen one big deer , but couldn't tell what it was at 60 yards. Still was a little to dark. I must have brushed up against some bushes when walking in because when it got to where I walked it snorted and run off back the way it come from.
It is hard to kill or catch anything sitting on the couch!

Up a tree in the flat where I drew blood opening morning hopefully something will come through again. I hope the wind settles down.

Running a little late, but slipped into an area next to a bedding area. Has some oaks mixed with a few hickory. Three were bedded under my stand when I walked in. This place has paid off before, maybe it will again today. Good luck

 Hunting an old road bed between the thick bedding area behind me and the slightly less thick area in front of me that leads to the oak trees. Last year I climbed hundred yards in the thick stuff, I tried to get to my tree for the first time this year and couldn't get that far in.

Finally a shot on a big nanny head. Looked like I hit her a little back to far , but she was quartering away so maybe not that bad. I had rather shoot a doe with a bow than a big buck with a gun any day. Even after around 100 deer with a bow it still gets my blood pumping.

I'm high but I'm not forward or back. I thought I was gonna walk up and put another arrow in him but he has to be on his feet. I hate it too. Second deer ever I've hit high like that.

Had two does show up at 11. They fed around and under me for about 30 minutes. I gave them a pass and they've finally eased out of sight.

Second time I drew back on a deer this morning and had my second clean miss. Sent one right over a does back. Had my hha set to 30 and forgot to compensate an inch or so down, she was standing at 20. Also rushed the shot cause they were moving pretty good, need to really take my time next time.
Saw a big buck with a tall rack after 20 minutes in the tree about 70 yards away. Also got my first bow kill officially , but it was a dang coyote. Pretty good shot too, he was moving at a dog trot at 22 yards and I put one thru his chest.
By far the most action I've had on a hunt this year. Saw 4 total plus the tote. Good times! Now I just need to connect with a dang deer. At least this new spot seems to be a honey hole.

I am no way a professional bowhunter and I just recently got my 1st kill..however I have no problem going with you to the honey hole and trying to sling an arrow  ..just letting you know..  What part of Tusco County if you don't mind me asking. We hunt on the extreme northern end of the county where 43 crosses into Fayette.

Back in the woods this afternoon. Sitting on a plot at the bottom of a ridge with 20 yo pines bordering a hardwood drain and 250 yds off a 400 acre cutover. First sit in this stand. Tracks are everywhere and this field is holding moisture better than most of our plots. North wind in my face at 4-6 with ocassional gusts to 10. Hot pics of a shooter in daylight here, so here we go.

Shaw,
You knew he was gonna Gar Hole you!!!!!! Well if I'm gar holed this evening it's my fault. I'm set up in a flat along a beaver pond on the northeast corner of the property. Got in here a little later than I would've liked. We were trying to find the doe my buddy shot this morning. Ended up getting within 10ft of here about 10:45 this morning and she jumped. Went back with his lab about 1:30, no luck.

I smacked an ol nanny this morning at 0710. Saw 7 total. Deer moved a lot better, and earlier than I thought they would with the moon the way it is. Good luck to you guys still out there.  Awesome!! Say, where did you find that old Mossy Oak Bottom Land camo???

Sat in my favorite spot at the farm till one this afternoon. Shared a tree with a hawk and had tree rats all around but no deer. Gonna go to club in the am instead of the farm in hopes of getting my buddy a deer. He's active duty Air Force and just got back from Iraq. I owe him a deer for protecting my freedom.

...beast....again....second evening in a row, came 70 yards away and went into some brush. What a blessing just to be able to see him, especially when he was rubbing some limbs with those massive antlers. I'm right on his tail, if he keeps coming out during light hours he ain't gonna make it much longer

I've been told that the trophy tips do cut bigger because they push the skin down on impact which in turn creates more skin to cut. Kinda like cutting 3" flat but folded your cutting more due to inward angle of the skin. I can only see that theory coming to light on entry. I imagine all the other compartments receive the same amount of trauma.
