Nothing better than a live decoy. Shot a doe and she runs off and drops. She starts making some noises and here comes a nice 8-point from the other direction. Couple grunt calls and he starts my way but she keeps making noises so he doesn’t want to leave her. Finally he smells her rear end and decides she is not ready I guess because here he comes to me looking hard. Couple more grunts and he stops right where i shot her. He runs off and drops. When I get down both my bolts are within inches of each other. Now I have to get them home and get them on ice.

ibb.co/0BHt4L9Man the bowhunting follies in using a decoy. On a previous page, a member said he wood be using a decoy in the woods. Well that may work but most times, it will really spook them. For whatever reason this week, I have had 3 mature shooter bucks spook off the decoy. it could be seen in all directions. The wind was in my face at the time, and all 3 bucks came in with the wind at their back. Its not 100 percent effective but most times, a buck will walk right up to the decoy and sniff its hind end. Good luck in your endeavor. The best success that most guys have had, is setup where the decoy can be seen a long ways away.

I only saw one small buck this morning. He spent several minutes walking up and down the creek bank looking for a spot to cross, then finally just jumped in and swam over.

With your truck or an arrow? Truck bummer. Hate when that happens.

Congrats to pinoc and hunthard. If I missed any same deal and congrats. Went to 7:30 service and watched 4 pts following a doe in the back yard. Pulling in the driveway from service two does in front yard. Looking out window eating breakfast three more does cutting through the side yard. Deer are on their feet.

I made it out but left early...too hot and no action. They are cutting corn down there today. I will be back Wednesday when Temps cool off. The rest of today I plan to smoke a pork butt and drink some beers!

I have been giving my property a break all week and hunted public down the street. Came home around 1030 and a big mature buck was cruising my front yard and off into my woods he went. Have hardly seen any deer this week but maybe things are finally turning around. Oh well, it’s hot out so I’m going to take advantage of it and get Christmas lights put up before I regret not doing it sooner.

Went to our Rising Sun farm yesterday to hang my stand for firearm season next weekend. I had just got out of my stand and while I was rolling up my pull up ropes, this doe come trotting by along with a basket six grunting up a storm. Pulled my cameras and found quite a few bucks in the daylight hours. Only 1 video of a shooter and he was out at 11:45am a couple of days ago. No idea if he is a resident buck or just traveling thru. I was late putting out my cameras and I only have 3. Good luck out there boys!

Seeing and hearing about a lot of action locally. Sat today out again, taking advantage of nice weather getting remaining chores done. Hunting Monday morning for sure, then wait for Saturday!

My five year old begged me to come out this evening so as soon as we got set up at 2:45 we saw one small six and 20 minutes before dark small eight came through.
