thanks . the deer have not been moving on my place. had a 3year old 10 point walk right under my stand opening day but thats been it until this after noon. my rule is they have to be 5+ before i shoot. he is going to be a awesome deer when he gets older.

Just got in my pop up. Soft rain right now. It rained pretty hard all night. I think my truck might be stuck at camp so I took my teryx to my blind. I'll worry about the truck after I shoot something. Will keep you updated if anything to report!!!

This is what my weather app shows for your neck of the woods. The wind does start to shift so don't get busted.

Your weather app is proving correct. It is steady rain right now. I am in a good pop up so staying dry so far. I have my rain gear on also. Still real dark and the feeder just threw. I'm sticking it out. I had to come to the lease this weekend to get my 4 wheeler so I might as well try and hunt!

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/09/11 03:22 PM

4 more doe came in and were very skiddish. I don't think they like the sound of the rain hitting the top of the blind. Never offered a shot. I can hear the cows behind me so I might be getting some lunch soon if they move in

Back in the blind. Was going to hunt a different stand but looks like rain is on it's way back so had to go back to pop up.

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/09/11 11:01 PM

Cows just moved through and I hear a horse behind me. We only have 38 cows and 4 horses on 3,500 acres and I am the only one hunting and they are near me. Just my luck. I hope they move on and I can get something to come in before dark. I just want a doe

Will a deer snort at a cow or horse. I have one snorting it's head off and there is no way it is snorting at me?

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/09/11 11:33 PM

Wouldn't think so. Could it of winded ya?

Posted By: Hunter30

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/09/11 11:39 PM

Wind is blowing away from the deer that was snorting. Not sure what is going on. There are not many sits on this lease you don't see deer. Still waiting. I have the best 30 min of the day to go

I'm 13 miles south of Coleman I got 2.3". My farmer planted about 32ac of wheat last week, it should be right about the time of the rut.

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 02:12 AM

No deer tonight. The cows and horses never left. My phone died the last 45 min of the hunt. Will try again in the morning. Will update about 6 am

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 11:03 AM

Back in the stand. The moon is so bright it is casting shadows. Last night I had to drive to brownwood walmart which is 40 miles from me to get a size N battery. It controls my main feeders timer and me being a dummy did not have a backup. The good news is about halfway to our camp on our lease property two pigs crossed the road and I was able to get a 150 boar last night. I at least have cooler with meat in it.

Foggy morning just now able to see pins on sight

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 12:31 PM

any action yet,what are you looking to shoot?

Posted By: Hunter30

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 12:36 PM

Nothing yet. With the full moon I'm guessing they fed all night. Im expecting a late start. I'm not real picky on what i will shoot today. Doe or pig. A buck would have to be a cull or pretty big for me to shoot. No cows it horses yet this morning I'm hoping they don't come back

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 12:37 PM

hopefully everything works out an somthing will give you a shot. good luck

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 12:48 PM

Pins on your sight? You mean your reticle, right? Kidding. It was nice and wet outside this morning. I'd rather be 20 ft up than working the floor today.

Re: Who else is going to try - 10/10/11 05:03 PM

Sorry about no updates. Shortly after my last post I shot a cull 8 point. It was my 1st deer with a bow and the oldest deer I have ever seen. He had a huge body and no teeth. Only gums. I don't know how old that makes him but he is the oldest I've ever seen
