windy windy windy!!! anyone else out right now. i cant seem to pattern the deer in my area so decided to come out at noon. so far just alot of walnuts falling on me.

Hunted briefly this morning up north and it was pretty calm with little movement. Too nice out for me today. Just never have liked hunting in the sun, even though I do at times.

well had a doe come into thirty yards at two oclock. unfortunately im hunting out of a blind and she snuck in on me. so no shot taken.

Well thanks for the update

ended up setting from noon to dark. seen the doe then around five i heard a soft grunt so i grunted back and had a buck come to sixty yards. was overall a good day in the woods.

Done some stand maintenance this afternoon. Rubs on the trail down hill from my stand, rubs on the trail uphill from my stand, also found two stomps.

I hunted Thurs. thru Sunday and saw very little deer so far. Very slow. Didnt go out Sat. Morning in the downpour though.

Scrapes and rubs are showing up. Does and yearlings still together but not for long.

Killed a nice Doe Friday....going out in the AM Tues after work(glad I get off at 4am....cant miss sitting the first "freeze" of the season ......

went out this evening the action is picking up. had seven does come by at ten yards. i was on the ground went to draw and my rest creaked and away they went. was a adrenaline rush for sure.

Right now it is WINDy...big time.. I haven't seen a thing this morning.. I may pull out early and see what this afternoon looks like..

Same here. Left early and need to get some stuff done so we can go tonight.

Windy windy windy. SE Indiana forcast is for 10 2 25 with gusts to 30. Nohing moving . All r hunkered down.

Sat this morning ...didnt see squat, super windy up north here ..... we will be heading out for the PM sit about 2'ish .... supposed to lighter wind tomorrow(Sun)....AM's have stunk all this season anyways....and of course Sunday I work the afternoon.....with the **** pipeline coming thru, it has screwed up all the normal patterns....trails have been dead for weeks....all the traditional movement patterns have stopped...I have 1 week left on the place for this season 'cause of new landowner rules and his friggin' buddies...........17 years on the place and I get screwed out of this years peak rut times

Very nice and quiet. Deer were moving on drive in. First mature buck siting for me this year. Too bad we were driving down the road. Turkey's have been at a bit.

I've moved a few hundred yards south. Now set for first evening hunt of season. Wind has picked up a bit and squirrels r barking at something.
Squirrel came in behind me. Always good to increase the heart rate.

man what a calm night in the woods. no movement yet but perfect night to let an arrow fly.

Kind of warm out this morning no deer seen yet from my stand

I wasn't going to hunt today but the fog rolled in a bout noon.. now but I have the itch to go ..

Noontime here in Indy...drove down west 56th street and there are 4 deer standing by the road munching grass...

AND..........did ya get ya one??????

the fog is rolling in heavy now. figured deer would be up moving with this system coming through. nothing yet but usually about 630 is when thing pick up around here. last night after my post right at 645 had a 2 1/2-3 1/2 decent 8 walk with in 13 yds and little doe. Been seeing a lot of action out of the little bucks with in the last week. Still catching the big mature bucks on camera but only at night. Still think were a few weeks out before I start to see them move during the day.

Not this time...

Saw a giant yesterday evening..I'm talking 170+..with a doe in cut corn field. Yesterday morning i had a 1.5 year old breed a doe 20 yards away and an hour later a 140 class 10pt came in down wind and busted me. Had his nose to the ground cruising. IT IS ON NOW. big boys are done being patient in my opinion..they are ready to "get it in"

Have a button buck hanging around. Think he misses his momma.

Man, Right now the way my luck is going I could go to a zoo and not see a deer. I really hate to be a whiney tit-bag but I have been out 20 times this year averaging 3 hrs a hunt and I have only seen a total of 8 deer. Movement the last 6 days has been totally non-existant. I have vacation for a whole month now and can't seem to get on any deer. I have scouted different areas and it looks pretty sad. Just a few small rubs and scrapes. I pulled my cam cards and all the movement is at night time and the bucks are still hanging out together. Not a one picture of a doe. I hope things pick up.

Over and out,
Whiney tit-bag

parkerbow this is your sign to start trapping.

First sit n my fav Treestand and seen absolutely nada so far

Haven't seen anything this afternoon. Awfully gusty. I think tomorrow should be perfect.

I have seen 0 so far.... Probably due to not having the chance to get out... Oh well, vacation is coming and majority of gun season off... Hopefully I can bag a few....

Hang in there its just getting good. Saw a fairly nice 8 pointer chasing a doe today..

No deer tonight but watched 8 quail under my stand....

Was crazy tonight.

Parkerbow,
Dude, it's gotta be fun! If it ain't fun, take a break. Go catch some crappies or something... then you'll appreciate the time in the woods. It can become a grind if you get caught up in keeping up with everybody on here.

I've been there. Now, I realize that I have too many hobbies to spend all my time and money on deer hunting,trail cams, hanging stands... It's great for many people but it ain't for all of us. Now I enjoy just being in nature and seeing deer. If it's God's will, I'll kill a monster. If not I'll enjoy the time away from work.

This afternoon/evening watched a small 6pt chase a small Doe and a button fed to 5 yds of my stand... then the rains came.... again !

Things are looking good in Parke county. Just had 7 deer in hay field. Then a 150's 10 chased them off in to woods.
grunted in two 1 1/2 yr olds.

HS , I am the same way. After 25 years of bow hunting and pushing the big 50, I could careless if I get a buck or not. In today's environment, it is more work after the kill than before the kill. My family dosnt like deer meet and I do not have the time to do it my self. Heck, most of the time I just take my camera out with me instead of my bow. This year is especially gratifying just to be able to walk and sit out in the woods. I am 5 weeks post op from major back surgery. As we age, you gain a whole new perspective on life. As the sun comes up every day is a good day.

2 does long way off so far but I have yet to see any rut activity. I have tried rattling, grunting and the oh so famous can call nothing for me yet.

We must be related... . I hear ya!

I'm not bashing you I'm trying to encourage you Dude!
I'm sorry I misunderstood your trying to be funny. I've just seen what seems like hundreds of posts about how you never see a deer. That sounds depressing. I was only trying to encourage you and remind you that if you are getting the opportunity to go hunting... that it could be worse.
I went from hunting 4000 acres with a couple guys and seeing 10-20 deer per sit to losing that land and hunting public. Talk about a shock!

It'll never be the same. But in a way, I think I appreciate the time in the woods more now. There's no pressure to make good on all the time and effort I put in to killing a buck the guys at work or on here would think was impressive. It CAN become a job if you let it.
