Tell him to keep his head up. Ive killed 2 trees since November 1st He said the worst part was how he hiked for a mile up and down hills when I just came up and found the tree branch right away. Sometimes it just takes a second pair of eyes I got one of those green laser pointers. Turn it on and point it to where you shot. Then just follow the beam. Not the greatest on a real sunny day but great otherwise.

I`m trying to figure out what to do...I got up at 3:30 this morning intending to go, but checked the radar, and went back to bed. The coverage was just too much to make the hour drive out to Putnam County. Looking at it now, the coverage is still there, but the rain looks lighter. I don`t have actual camo raingear, but my parka and bibs are Gore-Tex... Anyone else in Putnam County that would give me info on what you`re seeing there now? I think I`m going to head for the scent-free shower and make the drive out there and see what I get. It`s only gas and miles on the truck...right? Call local Police or Sheriff for that area they will tell you the weather Looks like it will be done by 11ish

Never thought of that. I used it when l planned my shooting lane thru the woods. I knew exactly what trees to take out. Its also great to guide the person thats helping where to go to look.

In the stand in Putnam County. Not raining for now. Hopes are high to see activity and maybe kill a buck.

Funny how things happen; as I had said earlier today I wasn't seeing deer till after legal shooting time and they were coming out of what I am sure was their bedding area a two +/- acre area in my neighbors corn field right in a corner next to my property. This morning at 7:20 a deer comes out of my woods and goes into the marsh area only giving me a glimpse of him and I guessed him to be a 6 pointer at best. This deer meandered around in the big blue stem grass for about 3 minutes then stepped right out to the spot that my 44 mag is sighted in for. I shot him and he bolted back into the marsh area then stumbled out the other end and expired at the edge of the woods. I was surprised at how big this deer was I would guess field weight at 175 to 185, he had 11 points and his neck was swollen up. After I recovered my deer I noticed that someone had really worked over one of my pine trees real good(probably him). After dressing washing and loading my deer I called the butcher that I have used for the past couple years and found out they were not doing deer this year because of the virus. THANK YOU SCHALL53 for giving me the name of a butcher who took my deer in with no problem. Here's the kicker when I got home my neighbor the farmer was disking that bedding area so it looks like I got it done just in time. Photos to follow.

Just had the same thing happen most deer I have ever seen on this ground in 21 years About 8 i had buck pushing two smaller does come by than 3 or 4 minutes later I thought I had another coming by with all the noise all of a sudden I had a herd of does and fawns come by had to be 15 or more I should of taken a doe but I have another young hunter coming next week figured I’d just let them be hopefully they hang around this area After Wednesday it’s game on regardless I don't blame you. Nothing is pressuring the does here so I'll probably get another chance next weekend. We saw 3 bucks here a week ago (wife missed a 10pt) but I did not see them today What county are you in? Adams just south of Fort Wayne

Just got settled in. Took the long route in and scouted a tad. Found 2 scrapes that have been freshened and 1 HUGE new rub. Set up where I killed my does last week. Tons of oaks just outside the bedding thicket
