2022 deer

[Donfini2]

I secured my double stand and moved another single today. I still have to hike my climber back and “up” the hill though. I will chain it to the tree at the top.
I found several beaten down paths that go into a wash (cut, ravine, valley, holler whatever you call them in your neck of the woods) it’s about 15’ deep and is dry unless it’s raining. The deer use those as freeways around here.
You can’t set up close to the rim because they can spot you from pretty far off.
I found 2 trails coming up my side and 1 across the other side that leads to several worn trails.
I imagine on the night of 9-14-22 they will abandon all these trails. Lol

Take it hunting season opens on the 15th?

The deer here can read. Day before hunting season they all go out to the roads and read all the signs on the fences looking for the ones that say "No Hunting Allowed" and they tiptoe over there with their little backpacks full of snacks and their I-Pads and spend the winter. The "No Hunting Allowed" places are where there are unspent munitions from assorted military practices over the decades, but that isn't on the sign or the deer would take their helmets too.

Good luck with hunting this year!!

Always seems so true! Lol

I put in 4 food plots that are doing really well. The deer are killing the Brassica !!! Its the 1st year I put it in. I didn't think they were supposed to eat it until after a frost. There won't be any tubers growing if they keep munching down the tops at the rate they are.

Up Here, the Deer and Elk Know that Golf Courses and Schoolyards are Great Places to be, During Hunting Season.

Nothing for bow, it was rather sweaty here for bow season (that’s my excuse)
Nothing for black powder, only saw a spike Buck and some does ( I should have shot a couple of the does)
Rifle opens today!

Our family land becomes supposedly hallowed ground till January. They expect me not to run the four wheeler for three months. Someone is getting their feelings hurt 🤣
