Live from the stand 2023

I would pick the one tree with a yellow jacket nest in the bottom of it.

All of a sudden I'm grateful mine is only covered with ants

Mine had poison Ivey all over it and it tore me up for over a week. I'll look closer next time.

That's how all the good trees are. If it's gnarly with good cover, it's covered in poison ivy.

I put a two man ladder stand there and cut all the poison Ivy off. I'm sure the tree still has the oil on it but I'm going to wrap a little camo cloth around where I'm sitting and should be ok. I'm still learning I have to be much more aware. Maybe when I'm 80 .

Go to the drug store and get some stuff called Tecnu. When I know or even think I have gotten into Poison oak or around it I use this. A friend of mine that worked for the power board said they use this all the time cutting trees and branches off power lines. Even when you get poison oak this helps stop the itch and dry it up. If I apply it when I get into the poison oak it seems like I either don't get it or it's very mild. I hate poison oak about as bad as yellow jackets.

Had him 28yds and no clear shot

 

[mayberryrick]

Oh wow

 

[Ski]

Had a big fork teasing me. Was a really good evening. Saw two shooters both in range but no clear shot, and 6 different bucks in total including the big fork. Gona have to move my stand a little before the cool drop next weekend.

Crazy birds were chasing one another around and then spooked the deer out.

Turkey season is open in most countys.

Moved a lil closer to where I saw my target buck last night. This is last evening with northerly wind until weekend so hopefully he does what he did last night.

 

[reloadxx]

On the ground this evening more watching to see what they are doing

 

[Ski]

Good luck to everyone out!

 

[Ski]

Can't do without the thermacell. Hopefully I'll remember to move it

 

[Lone Hunter]

I put mine under the seat and it works great. I'm too stupid to think to remove it where you have it. One more thing I don't need to worry with when a target comes in. Good Luck and Hope You Get The Buck…

Oh I would definitely knock that off and it would be laying on the ground at the bottom of my stand.

Might just be the skinniest tree I've ever set up in but it works! Only cover I've got is the bushy hickory branches. Anybody else out tonight?
