Took my son out for the evening hunt and pulled the camera card. Wife said no hunting Sunday morning because we had a baptism, I figured no big deal I have the whole week off. Just behind the doe is a stud standing 25yards from my stand. Almost wish I didn’t pull the card. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Bondouley 8C is great just has a lot of variables bigger woods don’t. Definitely takes patience Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I know guys who only trophy hunt and I know guys who strictly feed their family. Some of these guys in great deer areas others in areas with no doe permits....I fall somewhere in the middle. I don’t think we need MORE restrictions and laws but maybe some incentives for landowners who participate in deer management Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow that’s crazy, I guess I’ll hold off until I get a closer time frame Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yikes, did a direct neighbor get him or did he move further away Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pics are about every other day or so same times generally hour be sun up and an hour after. The property is more of pass through spot. Only secluded bedding 10 acre overgrown orchard is about about 300 yards behind my stand to the west and 800yards to my east. I’m thinking mornings I have the potential of bumping him but then again he’s about every other day. Also none of the farms around have food sources in them anymore. So my only real advantage is low hunting pressure and decent cover on both ends Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So I’ve got this big boy on a very small 7 acre piece I hunt...my question for the pros, is it worth hunting him now hoping a doe or calls bring him out early. Maybe I hold off and not blow up the spot to see if his pattern changes closer to shooting light as time goes on. Any ideas Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I had lots of activity the last 40 mins last night and the first 40 mins this am. Little bucks chasing and grunting up a storm. Also camera daytime activity picked up. Fishslime9 Congrats to your buddy that’s a beautiful buck Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

If you look on Amazon they have a ton of ozone machines for $50....I bought a $20 bone view mobile one and tossed it a rubber made tote with socks I wore all day. 30 mins later I opened it up and the socks has no smell. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Interesting, maybe I’ll look into that model and make the purchase Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Most walks to the stand were around 300 yards with only a few around 1000. Plus I used a compass to shoot back azimuth. Which I’d rely on over a gps or an app. Another big factor is I’m not tech or gadget savvy Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

HuntStand, Had a bunch of recent updates and has a lot of helpful tools. Early in September I hunted bear in Canada, while I didn’t have property lines, I marked every stand I hunted and trails in and out. It was very helpful. I definitely had confidence hunting the big woods with the app as a back up if I got turned around. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
