Same here. Didn’t see a deer while hunting today.

 

Evening. been running @ hunting. hot weather broke and moon is dark. bam this morning was 25*. my oldest son,CJ,and me hit the bottoms where we have some good bucks on cam. CJ got the 10pt,a bigger one went by my son. didnt shoot,too much brush and i sat in the whore house. saw 22 deer and only one scrub buck. the rest does. never seen that many in a sit before. great day.

 

Nice deer!

 

I know the rifle is not pointing at her but just looks like its pointing at her head. I had to take a double look.

 

Haha yes depth perception lol

 

That is an awesome buck! Congratulations to your son and sounds like you had a great day even though you didn’t pinch

 

Don’t matter.
Memories last a lifetime..

 

Congrats to you and your son well done

 

Beautiful deer and picture! Not quite moving around our cabin yet but hoping the cold front that moved in today will change that. My Son and I headed out on Monday. Moved my one doghouse and putting him in it. Guessing you guys are missing Church this am and cutting up meat?

 

this

 

yes, yes it is, very nice

 

actually we did miss church.new covid regs in VA as govornor is enacting them. ours is also online.and using social hall for those that want more space.its worked well. the front is crossing us now. High winds thru Tues. up to 50mph+ today. hunt safe Doug and good luck.nobody went out today or on Monday. son went back to work M,Tues. to not waste vacation and not hunt till Wed.

 

getting older and not too worried about it even though i want to punch one. you get what you put into it. I dont put in like i used to but they took over and hunt hard. thank you.im just proud they let me tag along and be apart of it with all my smartass picking.

 

Yal talking about scent control. ive tried it all. but now keep my stuff in tubs,wash it if i sweated and try to use the wind. in the mtns. here it will hit all 4 directions in a morning. hunt high in the morning as thermals rise at sunup out of the hollows. low if you want in the evening as they go down. the boys swear by this thing they all have. its a duffle bag with an ozone pump on it. clothes in and plug it in to descent their clothes.sit on the ground a time or two for me and all the outer wears have an earth scent then tub it. left all in the truck last nite. it smells like sweet dirt.

 

I still use my old bag of leaves..lol.

 

I wash clothes in scent free detergent, store in Husky professional grade waterproof totes, lid has rubber gasket and 6 latches. Street clothes wash scent free, change once I get to site. Then spray down scent free then I have bee smoker I smoke my clothes.

 

I use scentless detergent. I think it’s called all.

Hunting out west you get way to sweaty and there’s nothing you can do to make yourself scent free, assuming they work anyways. I’m not up in a tree or in a blind. Watching wind direction and trying to avoid swirls is the name of the game during archery. During rifle, it’s a non issue all together.

 

Trail cam pic from last year, but this year I just cannot get motivated to go. I’ve got something in my lungs right now, wish I could just cough and get it out. Day 5 of antibiotics, negative COVID-19 test from last Monday. I’ve come back from my parents house (where I hunt) the last few times with high anxiety and stress.
Damn you 2020!

But with a deer like that, I should be up on the mountain! I’ve never missed a hunting season in the last 32 years, but this year may be the first. If I miss it though, they’ll just be bigger next year. Maybe I’ll feel better by next week...

 

Nice deer ! hope you feel better
