Had a good flurry of activity at 1015 to 11. Spike, doe, and a couple other bucks moving. Maybe 8 pointers. Man 6 hours flew by. Guess I may as well stay for the duration. Today marks the first time in my 8 year hunting career that I have used a pre set ladder stand instead of a climber and I tell ya what you cant beat the convenience or stealth. Possible game changer for me.

Friends birthday party last night required more sleep than I intended this morning lol
Moving my ground blind 150 yards from where I was in the climber last night. Should be there and set up well before this rain stops.
Should have brought the 4x4 probably lol oh well. If I get stuck, that’ll be a problem for tonight.

Possible game changer for me. Ya, I feel you there. I’ve always used pre hung ladders until this year. I love the climber, but there are definitely times when I question whether I would have done better on the ground because of how noisy I was coming in. Next year I’ll have pre decided trees marked for the climber on HuntWise , and walking/shooting lanes cut for each one. It’s a useful tool, but not for every situation I’m finding.

Easton's season lasted an agonizing 15 minutes into legal light...135 yard high shoulder shot from his 243 and down he went. I will say it'll be the last deer he kills with that gun....took me forever to find the entrance hole with no blood on the deer or the ground. The fur wasn't even messed up. 350 Legend for next year....

I sat until 11:00 AM, when the rain drove me from my ladder stand. I had a small buck dog two does around me for awhile before he finally gave up. Then a small 8-pointer showed up just as I was getting ready to climb down. On the hike out, I jumped a doe.
Not a lot of shooting this morning, and except for one shot hundreds of yards away on an adjoining property, everything was miles away. I'll probably sit over a hay field this evening, hopefully catching a good buck crossing it. (No crop fields anywhere I hunt.)

Pretty decent morning despite the drizzling rain. I love my tree umbrella!
Saw a pretty decent amount of deer- mostly does and small bucks. Woodmaster saw the best bucks but he is very picky in what he will shoot .
Hunting this afternoon but passing on the high winds tomorrow.

They say rain here about 330 if it starts I’m done I do not like tracking bow shot deer in the rain usually they drop 50 yards or less but I’ve had them go over a 100 a few times

I was on doe patrol this morning. Went to a property that I have never shot a buck. Didn't take any shots but saw chasing and grunting several times through the morning. It was a great morning.
