TEAM 1 Discussion thread

Great job!! Not gonna lie I let a little buck walk the other night. I’m in the 5 days after today till I leave for Ohio. So didn’t want to have to worry about leaving the meat with my dad wile I leave for him to ice. If I don’t score in Ohio I know I’ll get us five more before season is over. If my son kills this weekend and I have to leave pops with a cooler form his then I’ll add a doe to the cooler before I leave.
 
I have been out several times but haven't been able to seal the deal. I am hunting a new property on the weekends. Its a lot different for me. Over the last 10 plus years U have hunted field edges and 49 yards back in; this new property is ALL woods. Need to locate some trails better used trail. I still hunt my old property on Wed nights. Had a doe at 15 yards but couldn't get a shot. She was weak side 8 oclock. Things will start to heat up here over the next week with pre rut and the crops should start to come out.
 
Set up on the bucks I saw last night hoping they do exactly what they did last night... had a yearling come out while I was drilling my tree.. Got that doe into the butcher this morning she had a lot of fat on her..

I have the day off tomorrow. Dry wall delivered at 8 for the basement and on stand by 11. Saw a nice 8 pointer this weekend at 3. Walked the fence line that I wanted him to but skipped across it at an opening about 50 yards away from my stand. A lot of does around so I will be back in the same spot tomorrow.

Wow we are having a hard time finding good sign. Lol if I drive up there want to put me and my buddy on a 120! Lol a 120 would be a studd for us southern boys. These mountains are no joke here. We put 13 miles in today all we found is 3 scraps and old rubs not finding the sign we should. Set up on a creek crossing saw two spikes that was tonight after scouting all day today. If you got any advice I’d take it right now lol these mountains whooping me!

Benches, Ridgeline, draws, any choke point or funnel which you obviously know but deer are lazy, think like a deer. Look for places where two mountains meet and there's a low spot. Mountains are tough man, props for tackling some
 
Trying to bring home the turkey bacon! After deer and turks tonight. Wife really wants a Thanksgiving turkey.
 
Finally found good sign set over it we will see how it goes. Found a bench with about 20 scrapes on the line and rubs all down it. Thicket on one side hardwoods ridge on the other I’m at one end buddy at the other about 250 yds down we will see how it goes!!

How long are u in Ohio for? Idk much about hunting mountains lol everything we hunt is ag land and pretty flat. I hunt mostly property lines as all the ground I hunt is in crops, very little woods. I’m not sure where u are in Ohio but there is some public 5 minutes from my house that doesn’t get pressured much and your more than welcome to set up camp at my shop..

We in Jackson county. We’re here till Sunday. Thanks for that offer if we don’t get on deer in next day I’ll see if he wants to pack up and head up depending on how far you are. We found great sign today in two spots that we think will produce just need this rain to let up. A light rain will be good a heavy rain isn’t gonna do much good for us. We are hunting zaleski Forest we haven’t seen many ppl parked just couldn’t find sign till today. Found trees rubbed as big as 3 inches in diameter and limbs broke chest high on them. We’re gonna sleep in in the morning. The rain is supposed to be heavy till about 11-12 we’re gonna get set up as soon as it is slacks and sit till dark. There were also scraps on the same bench ever 20 yards and rubs between them. Should get a shot but it’s thick. Hopes are high!
 
Just have to struggle through today at work and then I'm off for the next 2 weeks, maybe more. The rut is just kicking into gear in mid-michigan and I've seen a few good bucks on their feet all day. Good luck Team 1!
 
Sorry guys, I got rained out yesterday. Wasn't supposed to rain till 1900, the heavens opened at 1600 and I was completely drenched, didn't have my rain gear with me. I'll be trying again soon

It's been like that here 80% of the days I've had to hunt, plus 50mph gusts...not fun days to be in trees....good days to shoot
Puddle jumpers.
