Maybe my mojo is bad. Should I quit sending it to you? At least you are seeing deer.

Get out there just saw 7 does in a cut bean field. They are on their feet with the incoming rain and low pressure system.

I agree with the first come first serve, but a guy could hang stands all around the area and essentially lock up a whole block of public land. Possibly only hunting some stands 2 to 4 times per year. Doesn’t seem very fair to the rest of the tax paying public. Therefore I vote to hang and hunt if you are there first.

Well I got into the woods and sat on an old laid down tree about 50 yards away from the creek. At about 330 I see a doe across the creek on the other hillside. She fed along and got to 85 yards, but I didn’t want to shoot through the tree tops. A spike came in and ran her a little and she ended up on my side of the creek. She kept working her way up the hill towards me and I ended up shooting her at 30 yards.

I clear the leaves in the tree clusters as soon as I get there so that I can move for a shot silently.

Great weather and here in southern Indiana every buck has been seeking or chasing does keeping them moving as well. I have seen more deer in 7 hunts than I saw all year last season.

Thanks woody for adding the pictures, and I had let a couple of bucks walk that had more antler but he was the biggest bodied deer that I had seen. My wife said that she thought that I wasn’t a trophy hunter when I told her the story about letting a small 10 walk. I told her that he looked like a 2 year old deer and didn’t have enough meat on his bones for me to want to take him.

My first bow buck was from the ground standing amongst 3 trees. He walked past me on a logging road and I drew and shot.

I got to go hunting yesterday afternoon got in the tree at a little after 3. Saw a buck following a doe at about 415. He was limping badly on his left front leg, but couldn’t get a shot at him. Then at 510 I hear deer running and out pops a doe. She stops about 15 yards in front of me looking back. I get ready to shoot at her pursuer. I hear him start to come toward her. She takes off and almost runs into my ladder and he comes running right to my ladder and catches me moving to try and shoot him and turns and runs straight away from me. I mouth bleat and get him to stop looking back at the doe that is behind me and I get the shot off. He was quartering away pretty hard but it was enough to finish him off. He ended up running about 300 yards into a cut and disced bean field. I can’t see blood on the ground so I got a friend to come and help. Found very little blood to track with ended up wandering around in the woods for about 3 hours and shined the field 3 times before we were going to give up for the night and go back this morning. We got in the truck and when we were turning around we saw him laying in the field. Great ending to an adventurous chase. He is a nine pointer that weighs 194 pounds field dressed. I don’t know if he is the limping buck or not but that was my plan was to put him out of his misery. I hope that he was.
