Ok... I snuck in another bow hunt! Actually, I'm placing my stand for tomorrows gun opener. :-)

Here I am:

Checking in live from Jamesville/Pompey. Been on stand since 6:15. Windy.

Just spent the last 20 minutes looking for any sign that I hit a six point. No joy. I forgot just how light the trigger on my Encore muzzleloader is, and I fired before getting square on him. He was only 60 yards away, but I'm pretty sure I shot in front of him. No evidence of a hit out to 120 as I cut back and forth looking for blood.

At least they are out and moving despite the wind.

Bummer!

Hope you get the next one!

I couldn't post live this morning as the cell signal was giving me fits. I was in the same tree as last night. I shot a weee baby doe at about 830. Didn't see anything else until I went in and came back out, and then it was just a distant deer at full speed.

I'm back now though, with a decent signal! Here I am, about 20 yards from the tree where I posted the picture of the spike awhile back.

Brian Pfleuger · November 19, 2011, 02:35 PM

Well, I haven't seen anything yet but my uncle just shot a doe.

He's the pink dot.

rickyrick · November 19, 2011, 04:53 PM

Good luck everybody!!

The winds have finally calmed so I will attempt another Live From the Stand pig/coyote hunt tonight. I have gone out this past week but haven't made any serious attempts due to unfavorable winds just scouting and observing for the most part.

I have a short weekend due to next weeks holiday so this will be my only night that I can buckle down and do some serious hunting.

slammedsi · November 19, 2011, 05:08 PM

Back in the sattle again. It's 4:07 here. 49 turkeys so far.

Brian Pfleuger · November 19, 2011, 09:07 PM

Well, I got a decent doe. Unfortunately, we have thus far been unable to recover my uncles deer. We did find her but she was still alive. We will return tomorrow and I'm betting she'll be dead.

stu925 · November 19, 2011, 09:15 PM

You're having better luck than I am, saw 3 small doe this morning at about 6:30, and nothing but grey squirrels and chipmunks after that. Might have had something to do with the people stomping the next property over flat. The 3 I saw this morning must have been push, they came out of the pine north of me with the flags up and motoring pretty good. Stopped in front of me at about 15 yards for a minute and then moved on. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I will have to post a picture when I get it on Photobucket, but I was actually sitting in my stand reading the Firing line forums Friday morning, and just happened to look up in time to catch a big buck crossing my food plot.
I barely had time to put down my cell phone, and pick up my rifle.
I got him, and its a very nice East Texas Ten Point with a 15 1/4 inside spread. Here its got to be atleast a 13' spread to be legal.
It was a good one shot kill with my Ruger Frontier .308 I love that little gun, mine has an extended but pad, and a Leupold Vx2 3x9x40 over the reciever.
When I get my picture loaded I will post it.

Brian Pfleuger · November 20, 2011, 02:46 PM

I'm back on the stand again... Dads camp, cell signal is cooperating at the moment.

You never know though, it goes from no signal to 3G to edge and back again for no reason... Can't get a picture uploaded though.

Update from last night: Because it was so warm this morning, my uncle went to look for his deer before I got out of church. Unfortunately, it apparently rained last night and he was not able to find any sign.

Now, somebody tell me that's why they quit gun hunting because too many deer get wounded, like someone did when I wounded the buck with the bow.

Sometimes feces happens. This particular uncle is a very good shooter but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

slammedsi · November 20, 2011, 04:32 PM

Good luck peetz. I'm back in my newiest blind. 4x4 box blind over looking a 11acr wheat field pulled in to find a spike and 44 turkeys. But I'm now settled in and ready to go.

Brian Pfleuger · November 20, 2011, 06:22 PM

Cool! Hope you get one!

I had no luck at all. Didn't even see a deer. My dad's scope broke on his shotgun after like 30 years of faithful service. He had to go to bass pro and get a new one so he didn't even get to hunt today. Oh well better luck next time.

slammedsi · November 20, 2011, 10:40 PM

Did So So.

Brian Pfleuger · November 20, 2011, 10:47 PM

See, now I hate you again.

slammedsi · November 20, 2011, 11:09 PM

lol sorry buddy.

Legionnaire · November 21, 2011, 10:43 PM

No signal where I was on stand today, outside Cincinnatus, NY. Spooked a deer out of a field hiking in ... and didn't see anything at all until the end of the day when I took a nice-sized antlerless in that same field. Given its size, I assumed it was a doe, but it turned out to be a button buck--pretty good body mass given the nubs on its head.

Plan to be back out at the same farm tomorrow, but hunt the other end of the property. I hear tell there are a couple of six-points or better in the area.

DRice.72 · November 24, 2011, 12:10 PM

I will be posting live from the stand later today!

rickyrick · November 24, 2011, 12:28 PM

Good luck! Happy thanksgiving.

DRice.72 · November 24, 2011, 03:53 PM

I hope this works. Here I am live from the stand!

I am here: 34 50.625 N 82 0.994 W http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:34.84376,-82.01657

I'm facing E-SE looking over that feild. I'm sitting in a part where the feild dips to the woods. Near the road.

Brian Pfleuger · November 24, 2011, 03:55 PM

Good luck!

I hunted this morning with no signal again. No one in our group saw a deer until the last of us were leaving. Across the valley, probably 1000 yards, were 7 doe.

DRice.72 · November 24, 2011, 09:35 PM

Well, we didn't see anything. Gonna go again tomorrow, hopefully it will be better. Its getting colder. That will at least make it feel like deer season anyway!

Brian Pfleuger · November 25, 2011, 01:26 PM

I'm LIVE again! This time carrying both a crossbow and the 12ga. This is tricky!
