First day out(plenty deer)

crazyfarmer · Post by **crazyfarmer** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 8:41 pm

man its good to get back into the woods. I went this morning and didnt see one deer. My buddie took a 5pt with his compound and I know he was tickled to death. His first bow buck ever. Anyhow, my luck changed this afternoon. Ended up having 11 deer within shooting range(under 25 yards). 2 bucks and 9 doe total... but nothing big enough to shoot and I didnt want to take a doe there because its 2 very good bucks hitting that field so no sense in screwing that spot up. Both the little bucks(5-6pts) hit a scrape 7 yards from my stand LOL so it was fun watching them work that. 2 of the doe still had spots also!

anyhow.. plenty deer seen, just passed on them for now waiting for a crack at something for the wall

everyone I talked to saw plenty deer in the AM.. but all I saw was a grey fox and 15 squirrels LOL

all the deer this afternoon came out about 40mins before dark so they were moving late...

I couldnt get to the stand I wanted to hunt since the wind which was supposed to be SE ended up being NW to NE here

Had to swtich fields because of that at the last minute

I saw two doe this morning, but they were late morning. I saw nothing but squirrels till they came by about 9:30am.

This afternoon I got out about 2pm and didn't see anything till two doe were spooked over to me about 5:45pm. I ended up taking one of them. Pics in another post.

Man it feels good to get back out. I saw three deer and two big turkeys in the morning, but they saw me first. I mainly covered ground to find sign because I havn't done any scouting. I went to a field for the evening and saw seventeen. Three were small bucks, a five point and two spikes.

If you have seen what ive seen in that field you will know why

Crazy, I still havent climbed a tree yet! I spend every evening watching that big Palmated pig in the bean field trying to figure a way to get on him.

CF things are little different here. 3 bad winters with heavy snow, knocked the deer pop. down quite a bit.

But........... while out hunting for ruffled grouse last weekend, I did scare up a very tall tined buck. I'd say he was a 5x5 with the G2's a least 12 inches, likely score well into the 160's. Now to lured him in, about 1/2 mile from where my stands are.

Hope I can get him for our team.
