get out into the woods thread
Ok, who's been out in the woods. What have you seen? What have you shot? Pics? I just trimmed lanes for my stands this weekend and plan on being in one friday with a bow. Seeing lots of deer wandering around my place.

one of my sons came down this weekend and put up his deer blind back in my timber. he was only down there for about 20 minutes. i walked down there sunday after the game, and saw that the little b@stard put his blind right under my favorite tree stand.
![]() i've seen lots of deer. tracks all over the place, and they've got 2 big holes wallered out where i put the mineral. sec

I think I'm set up better than I probably ever have been. If I don't get a big one this year, it's not going to be due to lack of forethought and effort.
I've sat 3 times for at least 4hrs, and have seen 1 deer...it was a 150ish 10pt but too far away. Last saturday, I sat through a monsoon that took the diehards out of the trees. Wind was blowing hard enough, I just grabbed onto the tree to ride it out and then decided to wait the rain out thinking the deer would move. Wind is blowing hard for 2 days, wednesday night has a pressure change and cold temps....It'll be on thursday and I'll be in a tree when the sun comes up. For the next 3 weeks during daylight, I'll be in a tree when I'm not at work. |

Last night was harvest moon no? I think that means the pre rut starts in about now. Something about this time of year gets me so amped up/

I'm in a semi-wooded area and I don't remember seeing so many wild turkeys. Too bad you can't hunt here. The deer were culled last year and their numbers are down but still a common sight.

A buddy of mine invited me to north central kansas for pheasant/quail and I couldn't pass it up, being private land and all. Then I come to find out that it is the weekend of the rifle opener here in Missouri. I already commited. FML!

A Bud can, a knife, and what appeared to be a canine skull...no other bones, so I'm sure it was one sick b**tard rather than random chance.

I shot a sick opossum yesterday morning with my grandad's rifle. He'd have liked that.
Tonight I was moving or fixing 2 of my stands...a little tilt and a better tree...anyway, saw a big buck. big. |
