I’m back out but this time elevated, only about 8 feet off the ground. Pretty windy with rain coming tomorrow.

I saw 3 does this evening but Tucker County where I’m hunting is a one doe county.
Tomorrow I’m headed back to the same area I was at this morning. I wanted to scout a little more this afternoon but my knee was bothering my and I stopped about 200 yards shy of where I planned to check out for a morning setup.
The good news is I had to walk uphill just under 500 yards to get out and my knee felt fine when I was done.

Icy rain and heavy winds yesterday. Light rain that finally let up around 7 today. Just enough to make me wet. Fog has rolled in and visibility is around 70 yards. Tough couple days.
Finally got one down. After 4 days of watching bucks chase does through woods one of them finally gave me a shot. Had a spike come through on top of ridge at 7am. Stupid spike was rubbing his 3” spikes on a tree. After that saw a deer coming through bottom of ridge by a creek. He stopped to make a scrape then started to trot off. Ended up stopping him but of course he stopped behind a big pine. Luckily I was able to swing myself around and lean out for shot. Good thing for saddles….lots of different shot opportunities if you trust your gear!! Bring it was rut crazy time I had my rifle and shot him behind shoulder and came out in front of other shoulder. Heart shot so he only ran about 20 yards and expired.

Put an arrow through a slick head. Should be good for another 5 points
Last Saturday in WV rifle season! My first time saddle hunting with a rifle! Wasn’t bad! No shots fired…

Muzzleloader season starting here in WV. Might be out this weekend but typically I skip hunting for family stuff at this point in the year. We'll see. Might not end up with 0 deer from the saddle after all.
Same here guys, probably a goose egg for me too.
I was able to shoot a doe with 350 legend, I did have my saddle on but I was on the ground. Meat for the freezer but no points.

Finally connected with my muzzleloader last night with a few minutes of legal light left. It was a button buck but I’m happy with it.
Down to the final days of the season here in WV. Archery and doe rifle are in but it's unlikely I'll be out tomorrow. Skunked from the saddle it seems.
finally got a doe but was ground hunting. I didn't do our team any favors! still have a solid month left tho.
I got a button Buck out of my saddle over the weekend. I understand I can submit him and upgrade later if I get a better buck before season’s end?
