Well it wasn't a total bust for me. I got watch a BEAUTIFUL sunset in a place that I don't ever want to leave. Funny but true story, I had to go to Tell City Walmart before coming to the woods. My buddy's wife just happened to be working and I saw her, so I tried to pretend that I didn't see her or hear her call my name. That did absolutely no good, she yelled my name out load and I was pretty much forced to go talk to her. I left my phone in the truck so I had no idea of the time. I got back to the truck and it was almost 3:00 pm. I noticed that my muddy cam had sent me pictures so I viewed them. This is what turned up on the photos. Now that I know she works by the doors I used to enter and exit, I'll go on the other end to avoid a long and drawn out conversation 😂.

Budd,
I never suffered any effect from it. I do faintly smell it on occasions. If it can fool a bear’s nose it can fool ANY nose.

Don't laugh at me on this question, but I'm curious as to weather or not anyone is using any estrous urine yet or is it still to early?

This is a yearly date for the youth hunt there and should be good. I say a lot hunting will be done on the east side being it the only gate being used.

They dropped the number of drawn hunters this year by 50%. That on top of not having no shows is gonna help the herd quite a bit. Told me they are at 40 deer harvested for the year currently. Hoping we can add 4 to that number tomorrow

Just nice one, happened crazy fast looked up and he was 40 yards out moving away. Popped grunt tube and he came right in shot him at about 15 yards as he looked right up at me. Pretty sure he went down cross the fingers Got pics up yet buddy? I can only speak for me, but I'm dying to see your deer!

It was hard but after last times frontal shot I didn't want that again. I shot one at 15 yards, I was laying prone on the ground, as she was coming up to investigate me. After the hit she ran aboot 90 yards and laid down. So I stayed there and watched. The other doe came up to her and nudged her to get up and she did. They took off and went out of sight. It was in the reduction zone so of course she went on someone else's property and then someone else's property. Well regardless it was a pain to find her and get her back. In the dark trying to not use a flashlight.

I've been so busy working overtime (550 hours so far this year) that I haven't been out except for opening day of archery season. I pretty much took off the last two years from deer hunting, so I'm hopeful to get back into it this year. The only plus side to all of this overtime is that it has funded lots of goodies that one can find use for in this social and political climate we find ourselves in. Besides, it can all carry over to hunting as well, especially nighttime varmints.
I haven't read any of the preceding pages of this thread. Have any of you guys arrowed any bucks? (Not that there's an ounce of shame in harvesting does.) I received a photo from a very good friend today of his brother-in-law's awesome buck taken in Switzerland County this morning, but that's the only buck I've personally heard of being harvested this season.

Sorry haven’t posted the pics don’t have the app. But was an awesome morning. Had a lone doe go behind me way out at 8:30 with windy and wet ground couldn’t hear a thing. 9:15 I looked up and just saw tall tines moving 50 yards in front of me thru some thick stuff with his head buried to the ground. As soon as he cleared the ditch I popped the grunt tube 3 or four short grunts. He immediately stopped and wheeled back my way. He came out in the opening about 15 yards to my left and looked right up at me, soon as he did I drilled him. He trotted up the ridge thru some thick stuff. Looked like he whirled in a circle and I thought I heard him crash just out of sight. Gave him a half hour and while waiting a little spike walked 5 yards from my stand. Went to the shot sight and found my arrow. Started up where he ran and didn’t find a single drop of Blood for first 40 yards, as I started up ridge I heard one blow and it sounded like a cow running thru the woods. Soon as got to top of ridge there was bubbled blood everywhere he hadn’t gone probably 60 yards.( after seeing him I realized whatever deer blew had to be right by him, guessing another buck checking him out)nice tall 8 not super wide but huge bodied deer.
