I'm expecting a lot more people are in the woods today with these warm temps. I have almost heard as many shots today as I heard all morning yesterday Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What a difference a week can make... Lots and lots of stand visits from does and fawns but bucks almost seem to of all disappeared. I've have only seen 3 racks since the season opener. It's amazing how a bit of pressure along with the lockdown change the dynamic of the woods. If you have a doe in heat send by my tree and liven up these woods a bit, thanks.

Shoot em up!

Red sky in morning... Great way to start off the day. Conditions are as close to perfect as they get. We just need some deer! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ive been on the sidelines for a few days and havent been in the woods since monday (which was a stellar day). Hoping this gusty wind will quit for me but it doesnt look like there is any relief from it until this arctic front finally leaves us on saturday. My house this week it has been 25-30 mph sustained winds with 35-40 mph gusts everyday make for less then ideal deer hunting conditions. I have been doing some field scouting at dusk this week at a few stand locations and havent seen a deer yet. Hopefully once the wind dies down then hopefully the deer and I will be more motivated. According to the forecast friday afternoon conditions seem better, so hopefully i can get back out there.

Well today is where all hell breaks loose and the the lead starts to fly. The woods wont be the same place after today. Be safe guys. Shoot straight.

congrats

Pretty solid action for the month of November. Ive witnessed a lot of chasing. Ive seen a lot of smaller bucks cruising also.But finally No doubt the peak of the rut is here. Big bucks are on locked onto does and the does are receptive.This last cold front, really kicked things into high gear. In the past 26 hours I have seen 5 shooters all of which were within gun range. I got to watch a breeding party yesterday afternoon which consisted of a hot doe and a stud 8pt (140s) with 2 small bucks 75 yards away just hoping for a chance at her. 430 yesterday i had a clean miss on a good 8pt who was just cruising, He came to my worst shooting window to my right side. I managed to stop him at 40 yards broadside just before he reentered the thicket. He crouched (jumped the string?) and shot just barely over his back. This morning redemption? 25 yards and the arrow hit a small branch from the tree that im in, deflected and hit the deer sideways. Yes the arrow actually hit the deer sideways. Disappointing to say the least. A couple of tough misses. Back at it for one last sit before the cannons start to fire.

My kid picked this stand for me this morning. He said he had a good feeling about it today. Let's hope he's right ! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
