I see your harness comes with a screamer for safety.
And she already knows to hide her face from the camera. Now its time to pimp out her harness.
In all seriousness....if they made an adult baby bjorn it would make a perfect saddle....no hip pinch and optional upper body support
Looks like your hunting suburban bucks.
Wouldn’t do it other than this time of the year plus my freezer is doing pretty good. Good luck laying one down.

It will keep it up, you will learn a ton by letting deer walk. You’ll be surprised that you can strategically fill the freezer while still being selective.
Not exactly live but I went out this morning, cold and windy and no deer. Scouted around a bit to prepare for next year ony way out since I need to be home before dark... One week left but looks more and more like I'm prepping for September...

Breaking the "live" rules again but I got out for about a hour tonight, didn't see anything but left my gear in the woods to make setting up tomorrow AM easier. Was my first rappel from hunting height after a hunt, worked out nicely with the ATC/autoblock setup. Last day of the season, will it being my first deer? Hopefully. I'll keep you posted tomorrow.
We're all pullin for ya Dutch!
Been in the tree since dark. Just had a group of 4 does slowly walk by at about 70 yards. Ugh just come a little closer ladies!
Make the move for the afternoon. Why did they walk over there, path, going to bedding, food, water? Try and find a tree closer to what they are moving too, so you don't run out of light tonight. Play the wind and move slowly, glassing the whole time.
That's the problem/great thing about this spot, there's paths and poop and sign everywhere... Each time I've seen deer they have been in different directions, headed in different directions. I moved from where I'd set up before to this tree because it was somewhat where the paths of 6 different deer from prior trips( lone spike, lone doe, 3doe group)all somewhat intersect and pretty fresh poop pretty much under the tree. I feel like I'm definitely in a transition zone, just haven't quite figured out from what to what or the patterns yet... Or if this is a lot of nocturnal activity too.
Well good luck. Just don't waste time hunting sign if you see actual deer some place else. You said 70 yards. Were you moving before you saw them? Did they see you and skirt you? Were they down wind and skirt you? Moving 4 trees over can make all the difference in the world. I hunt a power line sometimes. The wind direction dictates which side I hunt from. 2 trees 25 yards apart makes all the difference. One tree I kill deer, the other tree I get winded.
with all that being said, you are the one in the woods right now. You know wind direction you know everything that's going on I'm sitting behind a telephone trying to figure out your situation. I set up in the wrong tree last weekend, 10 yards away from two doe. Hopefully next weekend they'll be where I think they should be and I can put #7 down for the year.
Should have listened right away. I was hemming and hawing and then 3 more does walked by on roughly the same trail, I'm set up in a new tree over this doe trail now.
Thanks. Now that I'm over here, I think they have been skirting the edge of this ridge/hill where elevation changes more rapidly, I was set up more towards the top where it is a more gradual slope
