Is he still breathing?

This is him last year. Maybe next year he’ll come back strong but doubting it.

Thats where its at brother enjoy

Day 2 started strong and got better. First time to corn these roads this year and they were all over it. Tons more pics from a beautiful morning.

DAmn Free! That buck in the last pic looks GOOD!!!!!

Yes, he’s a real pretty one. He was out here all morning and I never really got a great pic that shows him well. He’s a little short on his right but he has 6 over there. His 2 and 3 are a little better than pic shows cause they lay back and everything kinda curls in. Real good beam and decent mass.
Last pic is last year and then I found both his sheds. I hoped he would get better this year but think he’s pretty similar. One of the other guys may want to hunt him. I just like watching what they do year to year.

Nothing better than lunch on a deer stand.

Making me jealus now FR....some of us still have to work!


Whats the weather like and how has deer movement been today?

I plan to get up to my place tomorrow eve and be there friday and saturday, maybe leave sunday am...

Weather nothing special but today deer activity was great. I’ve got to where I don’t think there’s any telling when deer may move. Until deer start talking to me I’m going with that.

Boy howdy he is easy to recognize with that crabclaw point at the end of his right beam.
Really cool deer!

Agree, I don't buy the whole weather makes deer move thing (with one exception) was mainly just asking how comfortable it was in the stand....no rain, cooler weather is awesome for a long sit.

Deer movement, more specifically buck movement, I think can be better on days with extreme high pressure. I have read that, anecdotally seen it. talking 30.30+

According to my weather station at my place, it is 30.26mm hg right now. That is pretty good pressure for buck movement. Of course, the coming pre-rut and rut activity trumps all that nonsense and deer just move more this time of year. Good time to be hunting right now!

I’m not saying weather doesn’t make a difference cause it does. It’s just hard to figure and can’t be counted on all the time at all. Rut certainly makes a difference of course.
Its enjoyable weather to hunt as opposed to the heat. Fall is here.

Keep us poor workin folk of how things go as evening approaches. Living vicariously thru you right now!

Living the life brother

That must be your lucky hat

Over 30 years with the cap. We both are showing signs of wear but hoping for a few more hunts for us both before hanging it up.

I'd hate to see your unlucky cap, but I may know which one you would tell me about.

Yes, he’s a real pretty one. He was out here all morning and I never really got a great pic that shows him well. He’s a little short on his right but he has 6 over there.

NOTE what Freerange typed above -- "ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS MAY WANT TO HUNT HIM "

THIS RIGHT HERE is what a good lease manager does - Take note and just hope you can hunt on a lease with someone like him - very rare for sure

Oh yeah I forgot - Freerange - get off your phone on this forum and look up at the deer!

FR is a good lease boss for sure. But truth be told, if a 200” buck walked out on him, no way he is letting that one walk for another member…rightfully so. Theres potential out there

I would not count on that - some folks get as much pleasure seeing others take their trophy of a lifetime as if they were taking it themselves - ask me how I know?

Exactly tlk
Freerange is a great guy so it doesn't surprise me at all.

I'd love to hunt with him sometime for sure.....just not in OK! lmao

Free fits in quite well up there in Okieland where duct tape is considered yet another fashion accessory.

Day 3.
Third different spot to sit in 3 days. Daylight to dark, as usual, when I don’t have hands to shake and babies to kiss back at camp. This can be a great spot to sit but today overall deer movement wasn’t as good as yesterday. Then at 1045 everything changed(more on this in a bit. A buck foreplay worthy.)
The stand is at the intersection of 4 fences going equidistant each way(like a 4 way stop.) Roads corned down each fence line and a few deer on each one.

To be Continued.

Free, you hunting a fence line, how dare you, lol. Guessing that is an internal pasture crossfence.
