Been out as much as I can. I too am being stalked by herds of bull squirrels.
My buddy was in a stand about 75yds from me. He had 3 come in. Shot a 4 pointer? 3 points on 1 side, broken off on the other. Reloaded. Waited. Used bleat call. One of the other 2 returned and shot a button buck.

Were you out behind Benny's? Someone shot an 8 yesterday morning, and when he finally found it every deer in a 10 sq mile radius heard him screaming and hollering |

Wasn't me, so far i'm deerless. I tend to celebrate quietly....
Maybe I'll have better luck in the snow? |

Its good to hear that your seeing some deer... I had scented up an area and hunted it for 4 straight days during shotgun and along came the pushers. It was a nice 6 pointer.... My buddy texted me that morning "is that you", he counted 5 shots to take that deer.
Years not over.... |

Bring a grunt call and give a aggressive long grunt, if he doesn't move keep it going. Once he starts coming, STOP grunting, he knows where you are and get ready for the shot. Its the only way to get a buck away from a doe. I once broke a 6 pointer away from 2 doe. Give it a try!
Its like a guy picking a fight to get the girl.... 
Good luck buddy! |

Yah he shot it within 100 yards of my stand, I went down to check on him after he was yelling. I didn't know if he was hurt or not. Still lots of deer in there but all those 8 pts were 3 1/2 year old deer. There is still a monster in there that has been seen by a few of us. I hope to get out one more time but doesn't look good. |

So there I am walking down the powerlines and BOOM, I hear a shot so I stop, wait to see if there's anything going to run by. I'm standing there for about ten minutes. BOOM another shot goes off so I start walking towards the shot. That's when I encontered a guy walking the same way as me. He stops and waits for me to catch up.
I ask him did you shoot? He said yes, then he just starts walking again  So I ask buck or a doe? Then he starts telling me how he dropped his gun and he just wanted to make sure the sights were still on. WTF, your not the only guy in the woods!
I may have to take a hike out to your patch of woods this week 
Still deerless  |
