Live from the stand 2017

Was checking trail cam images this afternoon since it is way too hot to hunt and lady bugs and wasp and yellow jackets basically trapped us in our house because it was 83 today...the trail cam at the stand where my wife shot her deer captured this image. The camera takes a photo every 5 minutes if there is movement in front of it...what are the odds of getting this picture at the exact second the 245 grain Powerbelt Hollow Point struck!

I love this picture!
 
Lots of turkey calling this morning in SW Oklahoma, finally getting back in the stand. I have only heard one shot and that was 20 mins ago and sound like the next mile line over. No deer seen but it's a beautiful morning with a lite north wind.

Got the truck packed and ready to go. Just waiting on the wife to get home to take the kids. Getting my 75 year old Dad up to the leave this weekend. It's been 9 years since he has shot a deer so I am hoping he can get one tomorrow.

Good for you! It's gonna be a great day tomorrow. It's almost peak time here--not yet but close enough!
 
Story time...

I checked the weather last night and they were calling for a south wind which absolutely won't work here on the hollow so I decided to sleep in and visit with our youngest daughter today. I awoke early like I always do automatically and the sky was just getting a lighter tint to it when I went out and felt the NE breeze which would have been a great wind to hunt...I even contemplated rushing out there but I told our daughter I would meet her at 10 so I didn't. We went and had lunch and then she came over to see our house because she had not seen it in person yet. After she left about 2:30 I told my wife I was going to run over to the south plot and check a camera to see if anything mature has hit the plot in daylight...when I checked it I saw I had a picture of the "Bully 6" that is on the short list due to age and him bullying the other bucks...he is an old buck...

I decided I definitely needed to hunt the plot this evening so I came back and got dressed and was back out there about 4:00 pm. Everything was perfect with a nice West breeze in my face and the entire plot spread before me and acorns dropping all around. It was low 60's and overcast which was a huge cool front compared to the 83 degrees we had yesterday. I was sitting looking over the food plot contemplating how I had expanded it 3 times since we bought the place in January 2014 with a bulldozer...it is almost picture perfect...the original plot is the section of clover you see in the middle and all of the brassicas are expansion.

Around 4:30 I started heard the west neighbors arrive home and the 5 kids started playing outside hooping and hollering...then someone lays on the car horn for a bit. This went on continuously until the 25 yr old twins decided to cut wood about 5:00 straight west of me about 200 yards...they would saw some and then stop and talk loudly and the kids would run up and down the driveway hollering the whole way and then someone at the house would start up an old truck and drive it back and forth spinning and honking and hollering...All I can figure is they had been drinking or something...

I had resigned myself to another screwed up hunt about 6:25 or so when I saw a doe pop out at the western end of the plot and then another, and another until there were 5. They were very nervous and every time someone would hoop and holler they would come to full attention. They tried to come across the plot to the waterhole near me but the noise became too much for them to bear in the open so they filtered back into the edge of the woods at the west end. About that time I heard something walking in the leaves behind me coming in from the NE...it was 3 different bucks...these are some old trail photos of all 3...

The 10 point in the second picture I passed up on Monday and Tuesday this week as he is a little young but the 3rd buck is #1 on the home list this year...they walked out too far down the plot for a bow shot and went directly to where the does were and worked the limb the first buck is working in the photo and then I could faintly see them pushing the does back in the timber... my neighbors were still making a god awful racket but these bucks were locked on those does...I really feel I could have had a shot had my neighbors not been so loud this evening because those does were coming right to me and the bucks would have come straight in to them right next to my tree...

All in all it was a very memorable hunt and I look forward to the next sit here...hopefully in the morning...

On stand at west end of south plot in the woods a bit. Wind is from the east hitting me in the face...
About 20 minutes ago the young 8 point that came in with the 2 big bucks last night came through this opening

and passed me to my east between me and this dozer pile in the 2nd picture. He looked to be on a die seeking mission.

This is the location the does entered the plot last night and where the bucks disappeared into following the does. It is raining acorns everywhere including on me...

On another note a friend of ours sent us this picture of the buck he killed Wednesday evening...he has been after this Oklahoma deer all fall and it finally came together for him...he had several daylight photos of this deer and I told him he is very killable...

If that's not motivation to get out there I don't know what is!

Lone doe came across plot from north and entered woods right in front of me about 20 minutes ago.

I hate full moon hunting. Yea I know, say it. Anyways been slow. Rattled in non shooter yesterday morn. Not much else. This morn climbed to back ridge and weatherman must’ve been smoking Crack. Instead of W wind and good day I had high south winds and rain all morn. Skunked except for turkies. Wouldn’t been so bad but was cold w the wind and I was underdressed. Back this evening in a stand that works for SE wind. Did I say I hate full moon??
