I have hunted hard this year with very little deer seen after opening weekend. Hunted one of properties yesterday all day and never saw thing. Walked the entire property and the only tracks were a fox and coyote. Decided to take this morning off and sleep in. I woke up at 630 regretting I wasnt on my way to the woods. At 820 I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to head the farm and at least check my cameras. I grabbed my coat and my 30/30 just in case. I found tracks everywhere, but they looked to be a day or two old. I decided to walk a logging trail and then walk along a ridge overlooking a heavy bedding area full of tree tops from logging. I walked slow and scoured the thick stuff for anything that didn’t look right. I spotted a BIG body deer laying there staring at me. I pulled up the scope and no horns, it was a big doe. I panned the entire area looking for a buck and nothing. Came back to her, whistled, she stood up at 75 yards, and that was it. She dropped 30’ from impact. Definitely one of my shortest hunts ( 17 minutes ) from the time I left my truck to my shot. She is one of biggest doe I have ever taken. Things got real interesting while field dressing her and the knife slipped. It adds the story and as my wife said “ only you “ [emoji3] ‘Bout Time Mike

This morning was A bust with zero movement/deer seen. Not a single shot Came back out at 230 and sat on the ground in between thicket and field about 50 yards off a travel corridor. Zero deer seen and no shots all afternoon. Slow walk out and I kept starring along field edges and woods but nothing to be seen Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sat in the truck waiting for rain to stop. Right around 7 it stopped. Slow walk into stand along field edge. In stand by 730 and at 815 wind started cranking and skies opened up. Complete downpour. Back at truck now soaked. Be back tomorrow with dry clothes Good luck to all those who stay out and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ‘Bout Time Mike

Have to agree. Sat in stand this morning overlooking Field and bedding are behind me. 2 squirrels and that’s it. Zero shots heard. Got down and just walked entire perimeter of property. All sign is they are cutting through swamp from one side of field to the other(which we knew). Seems like every year about this time it changes to right at dusk on the field edges. Need another good storm / cold front to get them moving again Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Distance from shore
bout time replied to Alumacraft's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
For early season browns you are fishing tight to shore but as summer sets in and fall approaches 2 miles from the shore of FH will roughly put you in 70 FOW. Depending on your target species you will almost always be out further than that. ‘Bout Time Mike -

Get a crossbow with a assisted cocking (crank) device. There are many in the market now where it makes it so anyone can cock them. As far as compound bow goes start with a cheap kids bow or something like a Diamond SB1 where you adjust draw weight all the way down to 7lbs and just continually build strength. As it get easier to draw increase draw weight slowly and continue. It is like Physical therapy all about getting range of movement and building muscle memory again. You may never be able to pull 70lbs but dont need to in order to kill a deer. ‘Bout Time Mike

Dumbest Thing You Have Done To PlaceThat Perfect Stand
bout time replied to idn713's topic in Big / Small Game
I brought my climber into a newly acquired property one morning at 430. It was pitch black. Found a tree in the perfect spot set up and and settled in for daybreak. After a couple hours I had to get rid of some coffee and needed a break. I climbed down and relieved myself and then after a few minutes went back up for an all day sit. The tree had poison oak all over it and I never noticed it. The first body part that I touched with my hands was .....you guessed it. The worse 2 weeks of my life. Nothing I tried would take the pain and itch away. It got so bad I had to go to DRs and get a steroid to help. ‘Bout Time Mike
