I didn't go out until mid morning today, sat a spot I watched at least 25 bucks walk towards last year with same wind. Only deer I saw was when neighbor and their kids were playing hide and seek in their timber 200-300 yards south of my spot....and then drove their atv around their pasture....kids seemed to be having fun but it didn't help.....they went to play in the creek a quarter section to the sout, but I could see them. Around 4 they started up the atv and a doe and shooter buck shot out of a draw 200 yards up a draw from my spot only deer I saw today. Then around 5 they went back up to their house to shoot guns......
Only excitement I had I was making snapchat of squirrel with big nut in its mouth walking up limb towards me....it started to move fast and jumped onto the tree about 6" above my head.
Out pheasant hunting Saturday in northern NE. Dad and I got our limits in three hours. We have great dogs, though.
I haven't seen the population like this in years. We got into a group of 30+ in a ditch at one time. We saw a total of 50 in just a few hours.
It's some amazing shit. [Reply]

I am so pissed right now
That is probably the worst story I've heard in a while. Did the release just jump on you or did it actually break? I'd out that company/brand if I were you. [Reply]

It broke..one of the fingers that close broke at the hinge point..it is a T.R.U Ball release..it has been a really good release so I'm sure it is a fluke deal with it..I went and bought a new one just like it [Reply]
Most awesome day to sit and not see a deer. Freaking gorgeous afternoon. Starting to chill as sun sets. Gonna ease out to the cabin, get fire goin in the wood stove, grab a shower, pour a touch of scotch, and call my most radical Mizzou grad friend and listen to an epic rant.
I finally saw some signs of the rut tonight. 7 bucks chased 2 doe around most of the evening. Not a single buck was even close to 100". Something seems seriously off with my deer population this year. [Reply]
