First hunt of the year.
Dad tells me that he's had a nice bachelor group hitting the alfalfa every night since Friday. Good wind so I climbed a tree tonight. Hope I picked where they are coming in.
Sure do like that scenery! Good luck!

Tonight's 3:10 update is getting stung by a bee. Had to be the release finger too. Typical.
Got here early since I didn't know where I was going to hang on. Another hour until dad says he ever sees them.
Hopefully finger doesn't swell huge.
Good luck - now you have an excuse if you miss! You got the bad luck out of the way, the good will soon follow!

Thanks Jack
Just some squirrels so far. Gorgeous evening. Lots of time left. I'm just happy to be in a tree. Truly blessed.

5:08 PM LIVE from PA*
Awesome video for later. Bucks at 2 yds b in field now. One day s nice young 8
5:17 PM LIVE from PA*
Both bucks bedded back down 20 yds away.
GL! First sit is always a good one
5:31 PM LIVE from PA*
Have deer behind but can't do much with these 2 hanging out. Lol. They need more training from an old doe.
5:48 PM LIVE from PA*
Was 2 more small bucks.
4 bucks now. Hoping something big comes to join. If not this is still great
6:22 PM LIVE from PA*
Just blew it on a big boy. Didn't see another buck when I drew. He took off but not far. Maybe will circle back. Nice big wide buck.
Damn tough break. That will keep you up at night!
6:41 PM LIVE from PA*
8 bucks here now and the darn big one is gone. I just never saw that other buck. As soon as I drew he blew and both ran.
if it was easy it wouldnt be nearly as much fun.... enjoy it dont agonize on it!! u had a great night!
6:59 PM LIVE from PA*
I've got deer everywhere snorting at me now. Lol b
He would be by far my largest. Circled into field. Deer galor.

Got a truck ride out as deer were everywhere. Big one showed back up about 10 min before dark. He had entered the field about 120yds downwind of me after the mishap.
When he came in he was about 40yds behind me and a good of bit above me. I waited until he was behind a deadfall and about 26-28yda behind me to draw. Other buck just blew and that was it.
Got to watch him in binos then for a while in field while some young bucks were sparring. Lots of snorting and suck going on.
All and all my best first day ever. ExcitInc start to the season
You had a great hunt. Good luck getting him. God Bless

Back at it again tonight. Same spot. Too good not to be back tonight. In later today but way less noise as I left stand here last night. See how it goes. About a 3 hour sit or less if lucky!
5:02 PM LIVE from PA*
First 4 deer of the night. Roughly 500yds. All doe. None were in that end of field last night.
If I know anything about crafty old bucks - it's very unlikely you get a shot at same buck a day later in same spot after spooking him. I really hope this guy is the exception! Good luck!
I think you may get another chance at him, if he came back last night after getting blown out by the other deer he could easily come back tonight. You did not buggar him, the other buck did. Two years ago I shot a nice 8pt. who was traveling with an even bigger 8pt. The very next day from the same stand I killed the bigger one. Only reason I did not kill him first was the other one gave me a better shot. Hang in there and let us know! Shawn
6:17 PM LIVE from PA*
Just had a dinky 5 pt come in. First buck of the night. Was warmer today. Hoping last 30 picks up
6:37 PM LIVE from PA*
Big guy is in the field now. Looks like he came in about 150 yes south side of me. Heading this way though. We'll see.
7:44 PM LIVE from PA*
Another great evening. I'm going to move slightly for a hunt later in the week but still over this field. 8 bucks there tonight. 2 great 8s. Big guy is actually an 8. He has brow tines that are longest time which makes him look so crazy. Definitely a cool buck.
They got to around 65yds and neighbor came by on 4 wheeler. Would have been fine but he stopped to admire the Bucks he said. Lol. Anyway as we know deer aren't scared of atv until they stop. Still great hunt and got to watch them for 30+ min
he still coming out, but wiser... Agree 100% move your setup, play the wind... Sounds like you are gonna get him re-dialed in shortly! Good luck

Back at it on another part of the farm. Been in since 6. Jumped a few tails on walk in. See what happens before weather hits.
9:00 AM LIVE from PA*
Climbing out. Slow morning. I'll post a few pics later. Back to alfalfa this evening if weather cooperates.
Not quite what I'm looking for. Maybe next year though. Would be a great buck for some of the young kids too.
Does your username mean you are from Bedford County by any chance?
Why yes it does. Sitting in my office watching it rain from downtown Bedford as I type.
That's cool. My wife went to Bedford HS and I went to Ridge. We now live in Pike County. Beautiful land you have to hunt.. best of luck to you!
Weather looks iffy for the afternoon. Chance or rain. Wind direction is good to head back to my field edge. I'm going to move south about 80 yards and give it a go. Worst that happens is I get wet and see nothing. STILL BETTER than my desk chair.
4:00 PM LIVE from PA*
Moved down about 100yds actually. Lots of rubs and a few trails coming in.
My carabiner turned up missing so I'm about 5 feet off ground today. See what happens.
My 9
4:01 PM LIVE from PA*
Good luck I hope to see you pictured with the big boy tonight!
4:21 PM LIVE from PA*
Thanks T Mac.
Here is my 3
A few doe across the road on other side of property.
5:06 PM LIVE from PA*
Just had a button walk right under me. Of course mom gets 10yds from me and starts going all ape sht on me. Hope they didn't ruin the evening. Mom needed to relax. Kids were safe with me.
5:30 PM LIVE from PA*
TicklEd the rattle bag and this 4 pt cake in.
Hoping for good things.
6:16 PM LIVE from PA*
Far field has several doe. I've got this one buck around 80 yds. Last 40 min now.
6:37 PM LIVE from PA*
2 dinks sparring in field. Giving it 15 more. Getting dark fast.
7:16 PM LIVE from PA*
2 "nice" bucks showed up with 5 min left. Out of range and too dark to see what exactly they were.
Deer 3...me zero.
Till the next time.
