I only made it 3 hours rhis morning. 30mph. Wind gusts, 34F and rain/sleet. Finally decided to get down and scout a spot I haven't been to yet this year on my back. Now my stuff is drying in front of the camper heater.
Haha! Sorry. It's always easier to laugh when somebody else misses for a change. We could have used the points though.Well guys, I missed this morning, not once but twice on the same buck. Shot just under him at 30 yds both times. He was a 2.5yo 8. After the first shot right in my wheelhouse he scampered off a bit and stood trying to figure out what happened. When he started walking again he had changed direction and walked at my 6 o'clock for a repeat of the first shot. Dooooh!
Just means there's a bigger one in your near future that's all.I can only laugh myself. At least he wasn't a big 8. If my freezer wasn't empty I most likely would have let him walk ...I guess I did!

Congrats! Do you use that decoy on your bow on public land? I’d be fearful for my life!
Missed opening day of rifle season because of a funeral. Drove back to the middle of Minnesota to hunt the family land and got out the evening of the second day didn’t see anything. Shot a fork at 830 the second day. No points for the saddle contest since my family rifle hunts off tripods. Wanted this hunt to be as short as possible to spend time with family and get back home. Wanted the freezer meat and wanted to avoid a doe, my bother shot the biggest deer in the area opening day. Back to Wisconsin forest public land with a bow next week.
I did try out my IWOM, that was pretty amazing and I can’t see rifle hunting from platform stand without it.
Congrats! That iwom is the ticket man! I like it much better than my previous HBSMissed opening day of rifle season because of a funeral.

Oh boy, life I guess. I always tell myself "at least I'm in a tree" thankful for good health.Got in the tree on my personal property about 4 pm. The only thing I’ve seen so far is two pre teen girls and their dog roaming around. Sadly they walked right down one of the main trails the deer use. They got to within 60 yds of me then turned around, and left. What do you do? My luck has been **** lately.

I'd say hunt it out. Those girls might do that fairly often and the deer could be used to it and not think of them as a threat.Got in the tree on my personal property about 4 pm.
