Sightings.....

[mrbb]

well last night and this morning, I had a small 8 pointer in my back yard locked up with a doe, they chased each other in circles in my yard then bedded up to each other just before dark
this morning they were still here, about 9 am they left
just now I seen him dogging her on a run back and forth across my street and thru my yard

ran out of town, and seen 28 dead deer in a 20 mile section, SO I am guessing the rut is starting in the chase faze, and thats why there getting splattered all over the roads here LOL

Love is in the air!! here in NE PA

Took my two sons (9&5) out yesterday evening and this little guy came up behind us. He had a pretty good limp going probably from a fight I'm guessing. Little bit of a miss communication between me and my eldest but this guy was almost his first bow kill. I would pass this buck all day but i was going tp let him shoot it. Didnt pan out but a fun hunt nonetheless.

Made it out Tuesday evening and had a very memorable hunt. I've been hunting with a buddy of mine this year and on this evening we set up in a small piece of timber about 70yds apart. Hoping to fill a tag I was excited when a good sized doe stepped out of the brush. I was really hoping that she would walk towards my buddy b/c he hasn't killed a deer yet but that wasn't the case. She walked right towards my stand then turned at 15yds giving me a perfect broadside shot. She bolted as the arrow passed through her side and ran straight for my buddy 's tree and fell dead 20yds from his stand. Ha ha. We decided we would try for a double and hunt the rest of the evening. A few minutes later I was surprised when a pair of does came from behind me (down wind) and walked right over to the spot I had just shot the first doe. I laughed and texted my buddy that I was having all the luck and shot this doe as well. Hat the shot the two deer bolted, one running game into the bedding area and the other stopping to look back at only 20yds or so. After looking back it slowly walked towards me again and sood just feet from my tree. It paused for a few moments looking around in confusion. I took time to look it over well and saw nothing wrong with it, no blood/ nothing. Then it walks right under my tree and bedded just 3ft from the base of my tree. I sat in the tree waiting for it to leave well after dark but it just laid there. Kit started to rain and I had a blood trail to find so I started down the tree. The deer ran about 40yds and stopped and rebedded. I thought that was very strange so when I got to the ground I looked in the bed and sure enough there was blood. The deer then got up and went off through the woods as I was sneaking over to my comrade to tell him of what happened. We went to the spot where I had shot the deer and found the blood trail and sure enough the deer that had walked up to the base of my tree was the one I had shot. I couldn't believe it. I thought I had made a good shot. To make a long story just a little shorter we took care of the doe that had expired by my buddy's tree. We decided to wait till the next morning to go look for the second. I was blessed to find it just 100yds from where we last saw blood.
I tried to attach a pick of the deer as it walked towards my tree after I had shot it.

Hunted wed eve, Thurs eve, and last eve, saw one small 8 point wed eve, a decent eight point Thursday eve, and the same small 8 point last eve i spotted wed and 2 does, the buck last night didn't seem to interested in looking for any hot does, I watched him graze for about 10 minutes and then he went back into the woods. back at it this eve, still looking for that first mature buck encounter.

Just thought I would share my buck harvest picture. Lorain County 11 point. Last Thursday Nov. 5th. at 5PM. Over 70 degree temps. Just casually walking along at 40 yards.
