Live from the stand 2023

Set up in the same spot I did this morning. I set this stand up for a north wind overlooking this patch of woods. The field is to my hard right and that's where I missed a solid 155"+- at first light. I honestly could have shot him walking in before daylight. He was bedded in the edge of the woods and I seen eyes and then could tell it wasn't a doe by how big his head was. I kept the light on him and put my binocs up and was pretty sure it was the big 10 I been after. He blew and trotted for about 10 yards and stopped and I kept going. I knew he wasn't leaving his doe. He stepped out right at daylight and I shanked it.

Just shot a pretty decent wide 8 with my phone, should have video I can upload later on. He was following a doe, pretty cool grunting if my phone picked it up.

I could only barely hear the grunting on my phone, but it is there. Figure this buck could be a really nice one if he makes it to next year or better yet a couple years, guessing he is probably close to 17.5 inside now at 2.5. Downside is my son is looking to get his first deer and I couldn't tell him to pass him if we were to see him.

That young buck has more inches than the mature lardy I shot yesterday! Would be a great one to see make another couple years but would also be a superb first buck for a kid.
 
Have my 12 year old son out this afternoon. We had a doe about 140 yards out in front of us when we got in the stand. Canvas around the stand and draped down the ladder, so she didn't see us climb up.

Think this is the the first time I have been back to this stand since I killed my deer on November 1. I noticed this.

Right in line with where the first shot I took on my deer was. Might explain the low hit, got really lucky to get a second shot.

Aside from being covered up in squirrels, pretty eventless morning here. Cell cam activity at the other end of my farm has dropped off again too. Really need to check my regular cams. Was hoping to bust another coyote or two down in this bottom, not looking very promising.
