About to hike back up the mountain for the evening sit. The blue dot shows the location of the "treehouse". Wife is going to same stand as this morning which is straight west of the middle icon on the pic by a couple hundred yards. Im going to a ladder stand at the edge of the Powerline. The scent cone shows that the wind will be perfect for that stand as I will be facing straight into it.

Greetings metamorahunter What does Mrs metamorahunter hunt with compound or crossbow? Very very rarely do woman hunt over here, a lot clay pigeon shoot but very few hunt, Interesting difference in cultural opinions. Well done good luck to everyone out this weekend. Regards Billy There are quite a few women deer hunters nowadays but I've only seen a handful of dedicated female duck hunters over here in the US and I've never seen any in videos.

As always...someone on a neighboring property is shooting hundreds of dollars worth of ammo. It never fails, no matter where I hunt, it happens every time. I know it doesn't mess up a hunt but it's nerve racking. Where do people get the $ to blow through so much ammo on a weekly basis? It's crazy!

No deer yet myself but have a feeling it will be a mad dash at sunset.

Seen a yellow lab about 8:00. Neighbors dog he picked up my tracks, I sprayed down so have no clue. Not surprising, considering that you can't beat a dog's -- OR DEER'S -- nose. People like to believe that sprays and cover scents hide them, but it's all just a gimmick to separate you from your money. That's not to say that one shouldn't make an effort to reduce human odor -- it can certainly be reduced, but never eliminated.

First kill with the new bow. This morning started off rough. First, I didn't want to get out of bed when the alarm went off. Then an easterly wind narrowed down my stand site choices. Walking into the woods in the dark, I got turned around and once I realized that daylight was fast approaching, I just climbed the first straight tree and hoped for the best. I was drenched in sweat and not in the spot I had wanted to be, so imagine my surprise when a small 6-pointer showed up under my stand shortly after dawn. After he left, this nice doe showed up, and I arrowed her at 20 yards. The Lord certainly works in mysterious ways. I was angry because things were going against me this morning, and look, the "wrong" spot and conditions turned out to be the right ones. The NE wind worked out great for me this morning. I've only got a few stand sites that will work with an easterly wind, but they are all are morning spots. Footage of the small buck: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGBZ4bcqSe4

I know it doesn't mess up a hunt but it's nerve racking. Where do people get the $ to blow through so much ammo on a weekly basis? It's crazy! Happens down here in Kentucky, usually during first few days of rifle season. Some "weekend warriors" just have to get out and start shooting at something; or just getting around to it sighting in their new rifles they bought from Walmart, the day before opening day. Strangely, I've heard no shooting, around my property this years late Summer. Was told by a neighbor that he decided to have no hunting on his farm. Also told me that no one will be hunting in my property's area. He had trouble with Hunters trespassing on his posted land last year. Another neighbor had his property logged this past Spring-Summer, and has also posted his land, which is for sale (60 acres). All this logging activity has pushed more Deer into my property.
