I am in a chinkapin oak, next to 2 others, with more behind me and to my right as well. Acorns on the ground and squirrels keeping my alertness up. Jumped a deer when I first came in at 2 pm. Staying till dark

Kind of starts to get disappointing when you have been on at least 10 hunts and not seeing deer from the stand repeatedly. Tomorrow ill hunt till mid morning then break out the shotgun and look for turkeys. Need another cold front, that's when I saw the most deer.
not when I have hopes of seeing deer, it was a lot deader than anticipated. Would love to blast a couple of the noise makers thoughredblood said:catman529 said:Definitely a nice afternoon but once again 0 deer from stand.

should have brought your squirrel gun.
that's very true, and I ain't lost the bug to go back in the woods again.Redfred16 said:Stick with and they will come. a wise man on this very forum told me anyday in the woods is a great day.

nobody kills squirrels like you do, but I get a lot more excited just to have a deer under the stand than I do to kill a few squirrel. When deer start coming in close, I start shaking... when squirrels come in close, I look to make sure it's not a deer.redblood said:catman529 said:not when I have hopes of seeing deer, it was a lot deader than anticipated.

i used to be like that. run home everyday after school jump on the four wheeler and ride to a farm to bow hunt. now i would take a mess of squirrels over a deer every time.
