Velvet Hunt

[megalomaniac]

Hunted this morn and checked my cams... my buck (and the rest of his toadies) have moved from their original bedding area and are not regular on camera any longer. Didn't see any this morn, but I'm set up between the most likely bedding area #2 to cross my property to the food plot. If he doesn't show by Saturday eve, I'm just going to go ahead and bushhog this summer plot to get ready for fall. Thermacells are worth every penny

Still nice to be in the woods with a weapon and 'hunting'. Could really care less whether my target buck decides to commit suicide or not.

110, McNairy is still in the lead with 8.

Mosquitos were fierce this afternoon. Without that Thermacell it would have been tough. I had a few does close by most of the afternoon. It is hot!

6 spikes 4 does 2 fawns and 3 coons. Never got busted. It was hot but dang nice to be back after em!

Well just had a major SNAFU…shooting target practice at 100 yards and my 6th shot, while at full draw, my freaking limb delaminates!!!! Thankfully I'm ok but I'm in a tight spot now!

If you was closer I'd loan you my Mathews. Can't pull it back anymore got to hunt with crossbow . Maybe someone closer will help you out ..

I appreciate that! I bought a new one 2 hours later and ordered new limbs to retire my invasion to a backup bow.

15 yds from my stand for over 30 minutes this evening. I was 300 yds away eating ribeyes and drinking corona premier

no regrets although I would have been happy to let the air out of him

A pile of does tonight but no buck. Be back at it tomorrow evening too. I would like to shake the hand of the man who invented thermacell.

Not a bad consolation prize at all…

Been some solid velvet bucks killed across the State, seeing some activity on social media. 179 checked in thus far. Most counties 1-2 bucks, some counties 5-8 thus far. Good luck to those hunting.

Any giants?

Any giants?

Not that I have seen. Solid bucks for the most part, but they are all in velvet that I have seen thus far.

What do you go to see how deer have been checked in ?

 

[SC Manimal]

Thermacell didn't cut it so I drenched myself in Off this morning. I stink so bad the squirrels won't even visit my holler. I'm sitting here thinking I'm doing more harm than good.

I was just about to head out and my friend called and said, "Don't come!" Apparently the farmer put a deer retardant on the beans! Said he couldn't find a track anywhere around them. He described the beans as beautiful! He was heading home. I'm sitting here 45 miles away wondering if it's worth it in this heat and no sign. Has anyone experienced this deer retardant on beans?
