Been out a few times but haven't had a shot yet. Plenty of time yet though. Did arrow this little guy out of my saddle the other morning. Should be worth atleast 1 point right?

Lol at least 1
 
Had a great sit last night. 35 degrees 1 inch of wet snow, cold NW breeze and drizzle / flurries the whole sit. The woods where beautiful and coming out the moon was huge. The deer however never showed up. Sat 3 hours in the mantis and really like this saddle hunting thing. Good luck fellas.

Sounds really nice. Love being in the woods even if the deer aren't showing up. Last year I sat near a creek and an eagle would fly up and down it In flurries, was an amazing thing to watch
 
Another great night below 37 degrees. Saw 3 working in the swamp but they where way off. Got an idea how to hunt that trail or close to it so assuming tomorrow nights not a wash out completely I'll be there. Can't ask for better weather the last few sits.
 
Okay fellas first night in the mantis!! Its 323 pm been sitting for 23 min. Jumped 3 doe coming into my tree tonight kinda pissed about that. They didn't wind me just kinda trotted off. So far the mantis is amazing really comfortable. Now the bucks just need to play along
 
Well my last night in Vermonts bow season saw nothing. Had probably my best setup. Was able to get to 32 yards of the trail in the swamp the deer have been using and in a nice hemlock with tons of cover. Wind was perfect but someone forgot to tell the deer. They have had pretty good hiding spots this year. Like I said before I zig they zag. Oh well leave Friday for 9 days of rut hunting with 4 or 5 differnt bucks that are mature with several 2,5 year olds. Hopefully the does are hot again like they where last year that week. Figures crossed.
 
Been slow for me. Gonna hit it up tonight and hopefully something comes through! Seems to be heating up around here.
 
Been very slow for me too. Are Muzzleloader season open Saturday. Hope to be putting points on the board soon!

Well boys I leave tomorrow on a rut trip. Weather isn't going to help but the oppertunity is the best I can find in New England. I have quiet a few buck on cam and some dandys. Can't wait but at the end of the day I'll be hunting with my 83 year old father so the time in the timber with him means more than any stupid deer does to me. That said I'll be going hard and hope to have a report by the end of next week. 9 days of no sleep and dreams. Good luck to the rest of the team.

Tried to take one on the ground with her but it was dark and I had a lot of work ahead of me. 8 pointer came back with in 38 yards but couldn't get a shot. Gonna move just a little next time hopefully be in a better spot to get an opportunity at him

Good job!

In regards to pictures they are limited in size. If you use Tapatalk it auto sizes them for you. Makes posting pics a breeze.
