Pennsylvania
Contributors to this thread:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Holy crap its 23 degrees on Nov22nd. Lots to be thankful for this year. Wife has recovered from her issues and I'm working again after losing a long time job. So her we go on my annual Thanksgiving morning semi-live bowhunt from Bucks county. Im starting from home since its so cold today. I'll be sitting on a 5 acre property. Reason for this choice is a specific target, we've seen a good buck twice here in the last 5 days, i will post a pick as I snapped off cell phone pics last Sunday. So thats the target of the day. This property is next to another 5 acres we have and across the street from one other 5 we hunt. I'll be sitting at the back edge of the property where the stand is above a creek bed looking north. Its pretty cold so I'm in no hurry to get out there, its about a 20 min drive.
A couple pics of the target buck
Good luck Bill. Hoping the big guy shows up for you!! If he would prefer that I shoot him, I’ll be home tomorrow! :-)
WOW..
Wish ya luck, Bill..
Hey that's the deer I hit with my truck last night on my way south. Like you said it's cold out so he'll stay well in the back of my truck till I get back up north.. :) Didn't even need to use my tag.. So Billy you can go home where it nice and warm.. :) Oh and the buck that chased that buck on to the road was a lot bigger,, but i know you and the bigger buck is not your target buck so your not interested in him. :) Stay warm Biily and have a great day!!
Driving to my girl friends parents house in Downingtown last night I did see about 10 deer the last five mIles all in yards..
Good morning RC and bsked
I’m settled. Had one lone deer off driveway. Don’t know if it was him or not. It’s not a cold as I expected. It’s 21 but doesn’t feel bad.
Good morning Bill.
Ya have your toe heaters in your boots and hot hands in your pockets?:)
LOL, hot hands in your pockets sounds a little perverted.
But you understand:)
Here’s a few pics of my view
Yes rc. One warmer in each boot and I have the ice breakers on. It’s really nice out though. 21 degrees, wind maybe upto 10 from the nw. It’s blowing right down between the houses to me
Wow. There’s a guy out with his leaf blower already. 200 yds to the se. that might help. Suburban hunting at its best
I’m hunting in lower Bucks county. We have taken probably 30 deer off this property in 10 yrs, so it’s been fairly productive. I’m geared up with my ice breakers and suited with my 1 piece down filled coveralls. I am the camp pillsbury doughboy in a tree stand I’m geared with a Parker Blackhawk set at a short 27” draw, with 12 kills out of it this year. Gold tip arrows with razortricks on the front end
It’s now 7:47. No sightings yet. I kinda figured if there was going to be any action, it would be after 8 am. I think md day is probably best but I can’t stay that long
8:14. Still no sightings Another happening on TG day. Early goose hunting. I’ve heard 4 volleys of shots now. That’s it. Send em all my way. I have 5 arrows here for them
Good morning Ed. I missed your post earlier. Happy TG to you. Do you have a 5d tag?
8:52 update. Nothing cooking yet Geeze what a beautiful day
Bill, the guy from the Tioga Hunting Preserve asked me to tell you he's running 2 hours late. He'll blow his truck horn when he releases the tame deer you ordered.
Get out back and kill something McCracker!
Happy thanksgiving bob!
It’s weird. I haven’t seen a single squirrel yet
Show em some nuts, that will bring them out:)
9:55 update. No sighting yet
Weird smell in the breeze. Wonder if someone is warming up a turkey drier or something. Not sure what that smell is
10:41 update. No sightings and this hunt is getting close to ending. Turkey day is starting to call. If anything is going to show, it’s gonna need to show soon
No 5d tags Billy only unused 5c's from the 5c hunt. That, that Nut Rut guy failed to put deer in front of me. Him bad guide.
Good luck the rest of the season.
Thanks Ed. Today’s hunt is over with not a single sighting. I’ll get back at it tomorrow. Thanks for following along Happy Thanksgiving to all
Bill v
LOL Ed! If you would have been in your stand Sat morning you would have gotten a shot- but you were snoring in your RV! ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving Bill! Gonna be out first thing in the morning to try to fill another 5C Tag. Came down for T-giving and everything came together at the last minute for a Black Friday hunt.
