So I found some rubs in a concentrated area on trees up to 5 inches in diameter. I know this means a mature buck uses the area, but being a little early for rut, I'm going to do some doe management since the property manager wants the herd thinned. But if a shooter buck presents a shot, I might harvest him. Hope my set gives a deer a dirt nap. How many tinks scent wicks should I hang, and how many rattling and grunting sequences should I do to lure in the big boys so I can smoke one?

In all seriousness, my climber is ready and there really are rubs as described, but I won't shoot a buck unless it's mature. I'm hoping for a nanner. Will climb around 3 pm.

Good luck to everyone hunting this evening. Should be a good one I hope, and so should the weekend thru Monday.
 
You might want to consider that if you think you may stand a good chance at a buck later on about hunting elsewhere and keeping this place in reserve for prime time.

I would but the prop manager wants deer thinned out cause of damage. I got other places to buck hunt, here ill just take one if a real good one comes by.
 
Dang! In the stand 5 minutes not even 4 pm and a button buck came by. Could have killed and probably should have for population control but I just rolled the camera and let him walk. Plenty of time for the rest to come out.
 
Had several deer come directly under me at 5 pm. Drew twice couldn't get shot. Few minutes ago lone doe came in and got an arrow. Sitting till dark.

Update CM?

Oh and Congrats :D
she's a biggun, going to get ice and then to academy for a scale so I can weigh her

Huh? why are you worried about what she weighs? post a pic.
I'm just curious, since she is big. Been wanting the scale for a while and this is my excuse to buy it.

Here she is. Better pic and video later

Looks good Catman! Good job. What does she weigh?
ain't got home yet, on the way. I bet the gut pile weighed 50 lol, biggest gut pile I've seen at least to my memory. Maybe last years first doe was equally as big
