Modern guys not hunting RIGHT NOW are really missing out
« on: October 13, 2012, 04:48:58 PM »
It's a deer highway around here right now.  This all day rain has got them really moving.  I've counted 17 deer today between those in my yard and those that are wandering around the roads

Well we are hunting but haven't seen a deer all day. Maybe we need to be hunting in your backyard.

we've been in the woods for a week and haven't been on deer but one day. Trying to get a kid a doe for his first deer with the special draw tag.
hopefully luck will change
haven't seen it this bad ever
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

I've talked to 4 buddies and only one has seen a deer today.

This is what I got to see at 6k' in the cascades today.
No deer were seen.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I talked with my buddy in Republic an hour or so ago and he had 17 whitetails in his pasture this evening.  5 were bucks and one a bruiser.  Now he just has to keep the yayhoos from shooting at them from the highway.
