Good job guys.  The weather here in Oklahoma has been goofy.  Record high Tuesday of 82 degrees.  The temperature dropped that evening and fell over 40 degrees with 25 mph winds.  Today I don't think it got above 40. 

I've hunted pretty hard this week both from the ground and from a stand and got flagged by a nice buck on the way to one of the trees.  Everything else I've seen have been does and none offered any kind of shot.

I'm going to try again in the morning while my wife joins in the shopping frenzy to save 50% on foot bath/massager  ::)  Geeezz, who want to get up at 0400 and sit out in the cold, unless it's for deer  ;D.   

Happy Thanksgiving.

So far, I haven't found any Osage or knappable rock over here.  Embrace the suck

Nice deer.I had a good week.Started the week off with a 89 lb doe and seen a lot of deer through
the week,can't seem to get close enough to anything with horns.Seen 3 good bucks but they
had other ideas.Miss another big doe Friday .The rut is winding down here so the bucks will
probably be a little harder to see at least for a few weeks till the second rut comes in.I have high hopes for that.I have seen more young deer this year than I ever remember. :)This was with
my Black Locust bow ,The shot was a little far back but it shot through and she only went about 150 yards so not sure what but got something good.GregB helped track her. :)

I spent 3 hours this evening on the ground back in a poplar cove with Bucky the decoy, a little dominant buck lure and a grunt call...Nuttin' honey! >:(   I even had Chris Cade's Buffalo Nut arrows with me!      Pat

Plan on getting back after them today and this weekend,I think the weather is going to be good at least till Sunday.Maybe I will see some horns but if not O well I can always use some more meat.
You have to remember I have GregB around so it takes a lot of meat.Good luck to all.

I thought about that but just can't help myself.You know a bird in the hand.I usually wait long enough to see that ant one right behind and the stuff I shoot is quite enough I have had the buck come along in a while so I just set tight.But I do know what you mean. ;) :)

Last day of rifle season here, bow reopens on Dec 1st, Have a cold spell going, highs maybe to 20 degrees,
Have a couple inches of snow in my hunting area now. Went out this morning with the rifle but only saw does, no doe tag in this area.
Hope the cold holds for a bit the swamp will freeze up and make getting around much easier.

Went out for a quick hunt after work Friday, and had two does show up. I waited 15-20 minutes with the smaller doe in front of me hoping the larger doe would come in range. Finally approaching darkness forced the issue and I shot the smaller doe. She still probably would dress out between 85-90 lbs. It was a sharp angling away shot, arrow entered just behind the last rib and lodged in the opposite shoulder. Very little blood,... couldn't find any that evening. Went back and found the doe the next day. She had traveled just over 100 yards.  :)
