Had a close encounter yesterday in all the rain and wind the deer were really moving.
Seen 6 does and 3 bucks,1 pretty good one.It felt more like hunting season cold
wet and kind of miserable ;D.Had a spike come in but just not quite right and in the rain
it really needed to be.O Well maybe today. :)

Pappy, A friend sent that pic to me a few days ago. Would that be considered baiting? ::)     Pat

I screwed up on a doe this morning. It rained all day yesterday and all last night, so the leaves where super quiet. Any ways I decided to try out my bleet call about 8:00 this morning and when I did I heard something behind me spook. lol. There was a doe and fawn comming down then trail right behind my stand about 15 yards and they heard me call  and took off. They did eventual pass by me but just out of shooting range..... :-\ Oh well at least I broke my dry spell. :) I hadnt seen a deer on stand in three or 4 days....

was supposed to go out this afternoon, but the dang water busted, and i spent a while fixing that, by then too late to go where i wanted for fear of spooking them, cause they should have been ion the hay feild already.

Had  a good after noon ,seen 7 deer all does,I got to the tree at around 3 pm and the wind was out of the n/w at about 20 to 30 and no rain.I figured I could handle the wind so I got set up.Well about 4 the rain came in in waves.After about 30 min. of that I decided to go home.I got out of the stand and was easing along the edge of a cut corn field and up ahead I saw 2 doe feeding along the edge so I backed into the thicket and got set up .It took them about 30 min. to feed close to me,I thought the wind had settled down I guess because I was backed in between some heavy cover.One of the doe was I guess 18/20 yards  broad side so I took the shot.When the arrow hit open air it flew like an arrow dose without a point.Miss by feet,it was wild as a bat.I
missed so far it didn't even spook her.I waited till they feed on and slipped out.When I got to the truck the wind had settled and the rain had almost stopped so I decided to ease over to another stand I had about 45 min. of light left so no sooner than I got in the stand had 2 small doe come
into the food plot,I let them go[maybe another day] and didn't see anything else.Needless to say when I got home Joanie thinks I am crazy and she is probably right I was chilled to the bone,don't know what I will do when it really gets cold.All in all it was a good evening [Now looking back]
Didn't seem that good while it was happening. ;) ;D

Good afternoon hunt I'd say Pappy! I was cleaning up over at my mothers house yesterday across town from where I live. We have 12 acres of mostly field behind her house. Everytime I looked back in the field there were several deer feeding. Maybe I should give it a try before we sell it...took my first deer with a bow back there I think 27 years ago. :)

went out for about 30 mins yesterday afternoon. It was raining but I planned to stick it out  'TIL a crash of lightning across the field. I don't think I've ever gotten out of a treestand quite so quickly :o . I'm actually glad to see the rain though.
will try again Saturday.

hey guys! wednesday night i went out to the stand and had a quiet evening till bout 6ish. footsteps were coming in behind me but i couldnt turn or she would have busted me. then i see a skipper come from across the street. the made there way to my stand but at 30 yards must have cought my scent and she blew at me 8 times! she bounded of a ways and then stopped. so i fugured it wouldnt do any hurt to flif over my can call and to my surprise, she was headed straight at me. she had me tied in a pretzel trying to guess what side of the tree to get ready to aim at. i must have positioned back and forth the maple 5 times!! by the time she was 20 yards, she was behind a brush pile. the skipper was standing right under the tree! at this point three other deer had made there way in but i was focusing on this big doe. all of a sudden, she let her gaurd down, walked around the brush pile and at 10 yards, she put her front foot foreward and streched looking back over herself. perfect! i drew and released my rivercane arrow. smack! she ran off crashing and then it was silent. i waited a while before i climbed down and then i went to the house to put my bow away and grab a better flashlite. i went to were i hit her and found a big clump of dark hair. no blood. i followd the tracks to were i heard he crash and found a little blood. so i backed out and waited till morning. for you guys who leave deer overnight you must get as little sleep as i did. 7a.m. in the morn i found my arrow, it pulled outhe other side apparently while she was booking it through the woods. completely drenched in blood! i was pretty excited. then i found a few leaves completely puddled with blood but as i followed i found less and less blood. 40 yards from the arrow there was no blood at all. my dad and i searched for 5 hours without coming across blood or finding my deer. i let my neighbors know about it so they could keep an eye and ear out for vultures and coyotes. i have been completely bumbed out for the last couple of days and feel like crap. the shot was perfect looking so im completely stumped. i listened from the porch last night for coyotes but there was nothing. i feel really bad but i looked Everywher for her. the coyotes will eventually find her and i hope i hear them so i can find were she ended up. at least then ill know were she ran to. -whitewood

i met with failure also white wood.  i shot a spike last night at twelve yards, and the arrow went right behind the shoulder, about four inches back, centered up and down.  believe it or not, the arrow BOUNCED off!   i am shopoting a dag gone 65 lb bow.  the arrow bounced off!  stone point, that was pretty dang sharp, must have hit a rib, and caught the arrow in the worst possible wobble it has ever done.  they shoot good - i have no ide what happened.  did not even draw blood.  he stuckl around for about 30 minutes after.  no wound no blood started feeding after about 15 minutes out in the field.  i have no idea.  i am going to the store for some steel broadheads.  they fly nicer for me anyway
