Team 10

I did my pre-season scout today and found 5 good spots that I feel confident in for next week. I also saw a nice buck on the hoof while driving out. I have some work to do to locate his bedroom.
 
We have 4 days of East Winds for my opening week, so I've been scrambling putting stand locatiions on OnX. I'll scout in and see if any work. I discovered one of the spots this winter while scouting after the season, figured I'd never get to hunt it because it really needs a East wind, WHICH is likely why they've discovered it! I think this might be where they vanish to come prime time hunting pressure everywhere.

I practiced with my new No-Sticking set up again today, the first day without a spotter. Feeling confident in it. Glad I've stayed in shape over the decades. I don't think this is a system for everybody. I'm ready to go for this Saturday's opener.

Well I was hoping to get out Saturday morning but it looks like the rain from the hurricane is supposed to make it up here Friday night. Might be best to try and rebuild some brownie points with the wife. Of course if the forecast changes throughout the day I won't be able to fight the urge to push my luck. I'll keep y'all posted. Good luck to everyone getting out, let's extend our lead!
 
I'm out of the woods until Sunday night. I made a little push for last night but got shut down. The baby's christening is on Saturday so we're in prep mode. I got the go ahead to go "as much as I want" after the christening. I'm sure she doesn't mean it but I'll see how far I can take it :tearsofjoy:

When she said that you should have told her "It was nice knowing ya" HaHa!!!!

I’m in the same boat brotha!

Each year gets better. I've already been out more this year than I expected and I already have more planned for the next 2 months than I usually do so I can't complain. Think I got out 12 times last year. Already been out 5 this year (although 2 were with my son in low odds situations). Have 9-10 more sits planned through November. I'll get out a few times in Dec and Jan too. I like the way we're trending haha

Haha same here honestly. I’m not complaining. I’ve been a little sick this week fighting off a cold and the hurricane rain is supposed to arrive here Saturday. Maybe I’ll get out this weekend but if not, oh well, it’s a long season. Taking time to get healthy and be with my Mrs. before hunting in earnest won’t be a bad thing!
 
Stuck at fire dept working for several days cuz the hurricane

Was hoping to run to woods as soon as things started to let up but got mandatory OT

I’ve sat the tail end of several hurricanes and had tons of deer movement and killed bucks

I plan to grab the bow and scout/slip after work this evening and tomorrow evening after work. May spend Saturday morning scouting over hunting also. I did what I normally do and burn my summer on bears and bear bait, that falls through and I'm left in a scramble for deer. But I will definitely be hunting the weekend.

That sucks. I've heard nothing but great things about hunting the end of hurricanes
 
Yep it is a good time for movement

I’ve killed bucks while up a tree in a bathing suit and no shirt

I already have deer on cell cams start moving today within the last 30min on a wma that the storm has finished passing thru

Which state are you in? Just curious.
 
I sold all my gear right before our 1st was born. Didn't want to miss out on them growing up. Then as they started getting older I began introducing them to hunting, fishing, golfing, and shooting of all kinds! WAS brilliant, I created 2 humans begging me to do all the stuff I gave up for them! LOL...live it up now, you can't replace these times with your growing family.

I've got 2 daughters now. I took my 7 year old on her first hunt last year. It was a blast. I got her one of the aero hunter kids saddle and a trophyline EDP for this season. We started with the mission but then I realized I have to carry it.... I've been asking her if she wants to go out and practice and haven't got a bite yet but we'll get out there. She has picked up my love for fishing though so so we've spent a good amount of time on the water this year. She's still little so her attention span isn't the greatest lol.

Random side note... we've been out hiking countless times and we're always looking for bears but haven't seen one together yet. Last Sunday we had 2 in the front yard at 1pm so she finally got to see her first bear lol.
 
Really wish you wouldn't have brought this to my attention :sweatsmile:

Lol. I still have to mod the weird linesman belt but it’s a small saddle so it’s a start. I’ll have her on some sort of tether the whole way up anyway and we won’t go very high.
 
Took me 56 years to see a bear in the wild, so she is way ahead of me!
