Not quite live but I got back from my yearly mountain hunting camp Wednesday. We hunt CO GMU 26 and camp is at about 9600'. Temps this week were from the 40s down to about zero and, as you'll see, a fair bit of snow. My ol hunting truck Doug was as dependable as ever Everyone else in camp had bull elk tags and since I already have one elk this year I decided to just go with the doe tag I had drawn. Here is the write up from the other forum I am on with pics This trip starts at post #55 www.hunttalk.com/threads/sfc-b-will-be-at-it-again.297876/page-3

Sat this morning at Morgan monroe to continue giving my land a break until tomorrow. Saw a buck at 1030 in the thickets but never stepped out to give me a shot. My mom wanted to have a brunch tomorrow with grandma being in town, called and said no can do lol. Have to make up for it so I’m skipping tonight’s sit to have dinner with her.

Back at it. Here's a panorama view of my location. I hadn't hunted this stand yet this season. I have high hopes though! Not sure why because I have no cameras or any idea what's happening over on this side of the farm.

I'm so glad I took my buck last last week. Roofers are third to half finished and two of 4 will be here tomorrow. All four next week. Should finish on Wednesday, but then the siding, and gutter group shows up. My home hunting area is out and not sure when I'm getting back to Switzerland. 2nd week I guess. Tomorrow is off. Bummed missing the two camp dinners. I ordered this work back in late June. Had no idea it would be this late in the year. I thought I was safe.

Got setup around 3:30. Setup in the stand on top of the ridge. Hoping the wind stays down.

The action packed last 2 days I had has played out here. Seen 5 doe and 1 forkhorn this morning. Seeing or hearing no chasing, etc. at all today. Hoping tomorrow will be better. Same here. Going crazy then slammed on the brakes. Was fun while it lasted. anyhow had to head to the butcher to pick up my urban zone Buck get the meat in the freezer and take it to the taxidermist. Then I’m heading back down to the camper hopefully with my daughter. One last look until it’s time to go on the wall... imgur.com/a/2wreyE7

About an hour ago I set up my tent blind for the rain/wind Sunday, and had a tall 8 point chase a doe past me at 10 yards. I didn’t have my bow with me ☹️

I just got set up. Started to go into another spot, and busted two deer out, they were blowing the whole way.
I relocated to a random spot nearby I've never hunted before, hopes aren't too high but you never know.

I’m not sure what is going on with my sinuses. I have never coughed at all in stand until this year. I step into the woods and my nose starts to pour. I took a Claritin this morning, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. If I hadn’t been doing this since October, I would have blamed COVID!

I take a prescription for the cough, but also always have to carry some sort of "cough drop" to help keep the cough (mostly) silent, and remember to breath through my nose instead of my mouth...

Been back at the creek stand zip so far but zero wind like my other stand. This is a off and on stand more of a travel route but I’ve taken deer here bad thing is it happens fast they come out of the woods across the tractor/ crp strip and down through the creek once they cross that’s it for shooting someone else owns that ground
So unless they stop to munch on some grass or you can stop them it’s a hard stand to hunt with a bow

Buddy of mine has the same issue he wears one of those strips on his nose that helps you breathe says it helps him maybe try one I think he gets them at CVS

My view this evening. Trying to get one filmed with my wife behind the crossbow. Action has been slow here for her the last several evenings. She was really hoping to get one before gun comes in. Loud noises are not her bag! Should be good movement this evening. Good luck all!

Finally after 10 days I've seen the elusive deer. Not identifiable, but a deer nonetheless. 60 yards moving in some thick honeysuckle
