Well, almost had me a doe! They were slowly working my way and needed to come about 25 yards closer. I don’t know what happened, right after they ran I tossed some milk weed and wind was good. Maybe something else spooked them.

old nannys are tough, was ground scent an issue?

what a day it’s been already, temps in the mid 50’s and dropping. I got out here later than I would have liked and saw a ton of deer on their feet on the drive up, so I opted to climb into a ladder stand I had just to be in the game.

I Checked my wind and wasn’t great but it was doable. Within 5 minutes of sitting I had a young fisher walk right below me and the parade began!

100 yards out to my left I had nine different deer walking in the first hour. It was about this time the wind switched. 20 min into hour 2, I see 3 working their way in from about 70-80 yards. They hit my wind and turn around. It was only 3:20 at this point so I backed out to my truck, grabbed my sticks and saddle and away I went, 50 yards away from where I was on a choke point and back in a tree by 4:00.

hoping I get lucky and something works it’s way back here before 7 (end of hunting hours).

PS the squirrels are playing hell with my emotions today.

Good luck..... @ketch22 is the top limbsaver on your bow always slid that close to the cam? seems like I always see them more even than that

thanks man, good catch!When I hung my bow I must have hung it on the wrong side of it and it slid up. It’s fixed now.
 
Already been winded by a honory nanny. I probably made too much noise getting in here and trimming. Also took a lazy route into the stand that I think had her on edge anyway. She circled me and caught my wind. Hoping a less than intelligent buck gives me another shot. If not, I might stick a hog just for bonus points. Lol

Gotta tell you fellas, the recurve is gonna be the death of me. Shot right under a doe at 14 yards yesterday morning. Misses a doe and a really nice buck last year. I've killed several hogs with it, but deer are just different.

That's rough, but at least it was a clean miss. How long have you been shooting trad?

Way to be a team player there Andrew….. (I shot a nice buck last year the ONLY time I didn’t use the saddle, lol)

I hunted a few times last year with a recurve, but I never had a shot opportunity.

This is my 3rd deer season with it. Hit a doe first year but not enough penetration to kill her. Got pictures of her healthy days later. Missed twice last year. Now starting off in familiar territory again. Lol

That's a tough way to start, I've considered making the switch to trad equipment myself but haven't pulled the trigger. Way to stick with it though, I'm not sure I'd be able to if I didn't get the results I wanted pretty quickly
