Thought I saw lightning on the horizon John, must have been the light from your phone and the red glow of the heater grin

Good luck sir, headed out in a sec myself.

Had a big 8pt jump in the pen around 7:30 and stayed about 15 min, finally sauntered off. Would have been my personal best but my wife couldn’t make it this time (1st in 6 years) so I’m just observing this weekend. Hopefully she’ll make it next weekend.

That's why blinds have windows, or if you're too short a door, so you can relieve yourself without getting out of the blind.

Re: Live from the blind - 11/03/19 03:52 AM

Shot a spike this afternoon and have no regrets, we have a good representation of 1.5 year old deer so no damage done. I am now looking for the 5 year old 12 point I saw last weekend. Other than that I have a couple of MLD doe tags to use, been a little slow but hoping tomorrow will be better.
Posted By: Txduckman

Re: Live from the blind - 11/03/19 04:09 AM

Had doe eating at feeder and then bolt and heard a squeal. Huge sounder tore up the woods for an hour and only saw 2 of them with barely a shot for my boy. Entertaining night at least.

Re: Live from the blind - 11/03/19 01:08 PM

I have a heater. Didn’t bring it today.

After I walk to the blind it warms me up. It is a little chilly right now. That’s because my tennis shoes got wet walking in.

Get a 3 foot piece of pvc pipe to extend your "lil buddy" onto the grass (or dirt) away from your ladder. Good ole pee pipe works like a charm and easy to store in the blind.

No deer yesterday but some piggies came out in the high weeds. Hit one with the 223, but couldn’t get a second shot, weeds just too high and he ran into the trees. Never found him.

Forget all those allergy meds and get some vitamin C tabs, take them daily and your allergy will be a thing of the past.
I used to have allergy attacks that were so bad I couldn't stay in the stand and would have to go sit in the truck with the windows up and watch the deer from there. It was bad.

Going on ten years now with no allergy problems to speak of, and I take one tablet of Vitamin C daily, 365 days a year. Dr. won't tell you that because they want your business.

Had fun watching the deer this morning. About 30°F here in Deep East Texas, crisp and cool. Very little wind.

Saw 7 Does and 3 bucks. All but one passed within 25 yds. of my stand.

Young 10 point checked all the Does then went on his way.

Just snapped a few pics and enjoyed the show.
