anti hunting types.....find another corner to squat in.

It's been terrible here. I don't know what the deal is, but you'd think it was October instead of November.

Terrible here today.

I didn't go out until mid morning today, sat a spot I watched at least 25 bucks walk towards last year with same wind. Only deer I saw was when neighbor and their kids were playing hide and seek in their timber 200-300 yards south of my spot....and then drove their atv around their pasture....kids seemed to be having fun but it didn't help.....they went to play in the creek a quarter section to the sout, but I could see them. Around 4 they started up the atv and a doe and shooter buck shot out of a draw 200 yards up a draw from my spot only deer I saw today. Then around 5 they went back up to their house to shoot guns......

Only excitement I had I was making snapchat of squirrel with big nut in its mouth walking up limb towards me....it started to move fast and jumped onto the tree about 6" above my head.

I hate squirrels.

Out pheasant hunting Saturday in northern NE. Dad and I got our limits in three hours. We have great dogs, though.
I haven't seen the population like this in years. We got into a group of 30+ in a ditch at one time. We saw a total of 50 in just a few hours.
It's some amazing shit.

That is probably the worst story I've heard in a while. Did the release just jump on you or did it actually break? I'd out that company/brand if I were you.

Squirrels are the debil!

Finger shoot like a real man.

It broke..one of the fingers that close broke at the hinge point..it is a T.R.U Ball release..it has been a really good release so I'm sure it is a fluke deal with it..I went and bought a new one just like it

Most awesome day to sit and not see a deer. Freaking gorgeous afternoon. Starting to chill as sun sets. Gonna ease out to the cabin, get fire goin in the wood stove, grab a shower, pour a touch of scotch, and call my most radical Mizzou grad friend and listen to an epic rant.

And I hate squirrels more.

ghak99 · 11-09-2015, 09:41 PM

I finally saw some signs of the rut tonight. 7 bucks chased 2 doe around most of the evening. Not a single buck was even close to 100". Something seems seriously off with my deer population this year.

Need to get rid of coyotes. Don't want to use antifreeze.

**Iowanian** · 11-10-2015, 11:26 AM

In town or rural?

If you're not worried about family pets, foot trap or snare them. Coyotes are about the only pelts worth anything this year.
