All set up for my first sit of the season. I can hear some acorns falling behind me.. hopefully they sound like breakfast for the deer.

Bumped a deer trying to slip in on a ridge full of acorns. Haven t ventured into this particular area this year until now. Seen 3 moving across this ridge yesterday morning but I was to late. Now that I'm early watch them suckers not move across here ๐.

Saw a HUGE 6 pointer down the road last night on my way home. He was past his ears had mass and height.I'd say a 3yo at least. Biggest 6 I've ever seen.

I shot this nice doe last night at 7:30 from my 14 ft tripod stand. The shot was about 18 yds. She dropped in her tracks. I noticed right away it was not a pass thru like normal. She broke the arrow when she tipped over which was disappointing. But when field dressing I could feel the broadhead lodged in her spine. Must have hit a rib & deflected up. Should have been center chest exit from the height I was shooting. Took a pic this morning when I had better light. I used an angle grinder with a cutoff blade to cut the bone to get the broadhead out. Wil have to clean it up to see if it's salvageable. Off to the processor shortly.

Very quiet and slow here this morning. Beautiful morning to be in a tree. Had some turkeys get close not too long ago.

My son said he seen 3, but not before they seen him. As for Ole Dad and Uncle Jack still nothing yet but the deer where I am don't start getting energetic until 8:30 or 9. I've got some fresh coffee I'll be glad to serve them up with along with a side of a Bloodsport arrow and 2.25" broadhead ๐

Well we're gonna stick it out until around 10 and I'll be done for the remainder of the day due to kids B-Day party. Got way to much food to cook for the very few folks that will show up, at least that's the way things work around our house.

Just had a fawn come in and eat some acorns. Then she bedded for a couple minutes. Got up and walked to within about 7 yards of me. Pretty neat until she started blowing because she couldnโt figure out what I was.

That was fun, played out just like I wanted it to, but the buck was a little young. Couldve shot him 5 times, and we sat face to face at 10 yards for a few minutes That is why I love bowhunting from the ground. You did well. Great effort!

I had a forkhorn come right under the stand. When it was standing about 4 yds behind me I could hear it breathing.
Other than that and a few squirrels, what seemed like 100's of chipmunks, nothing at all. I was hoping for a mature doe to come by.
If it isn't raining this afternoon I may go out again. Lots of turkeys around and the season is open.
