Well I find myself with my crossbow in my hand because that was the only way to gain entrance to this small private area. The tract of woods is small, but the surrounding private land is huge. Ive had a cell cam back here for a few weeks because the land owner was curious about how many pass thru and the sizes. After revealing the pics, I was granted entry. I just got settled in the best spot I can find considering there's not many options for concealment.

Took a doe last night. First deer ever with high powered rifle. 30-06 dropped her where she stood.

To keep from cluttering the thread, I'll congratulate all the recent deer kills all at once -- great looking deer!
I had to break out the climber this afternoon, as I have no ladders for an East wind. Ugh! I wish I were closer to the top of the east-facing wooded ridge, but after the timbering 5 years ago, straight, limbless trees are a commodity. I'm sweating. Lol!
EDIT: You would know after all this work that the wind would shift 90 degrees -- I'm feeling a slight breeze on the left side of my neck. I'm too invested to get down now. Hopefully it shifts back to an East wind.

Took a doe last night. First deer ever with high powered rifle. 30-06 dropped her where she stood. Arent they fun? I love them. Less recoil, more accuracy, more knock down power, and obviously not a safety concern (meaning not every house has a hole in it). Lol

"DEER!" he says. Same looking decent sized fork we saw with the xbow. I'm plugging my ears and saying go ahead. He's says "Not big enough, I'm not shooting that!"

Had a newbie make an appearance yesterday. Moved my neighbor's blind hoping he might get a crack at him. Another day of some really nice bucks and always love to see the youngsters have some luck. That's our future! Kudos for the dads, moms, and grandparents, etc. for doing it the right way.

Speaking of "boom", someone just started shooting something loud in their back yard a couple hundred yards north of me. 9 shots so far and counting. Nothing like a little target practice into the area I expected deer to come from.
EDIT: 10 now
