MO bow season

[John Krause]

Sat morn found me in the stand just off that food plot into the woods. I could barely see the little field thru the leaves and branches. The deer enter this field about three ways and I was covering one. About 7:45 I saw some deer enter the field from the east side at a trot. I could just see their legs moving thru the brush. I thought the wind was OK, it was changing some when I saw them exit the field the way they came and one blow softly. I was about 50 yds to the N of them.

I was looking at the field, turned my eyes to the left and a 1 1/2 yr old doe (eater) was 15 yds in front of me. The wet leaves and thick foliage had covered it's approach. I managed to ease to a standing position . She was nervous and looking at the field. I needed her to take one more step. This was about 15 min after the other deer left the field. Maybe she had heard the snort.

She turned to her left  and put a tree between us and walked straight away from me. A second doe had come up and was wired too. I had a shot with just a few leaves covering her chest (in hindsight I should have taken that shot). She followed her buddy. A half hour later I believe they walked behind me. Sat eve was a bust as I got rained out after about an hour in a different stand. All in all a good hunt. When I turned my head and saw that deer right in front of me I got the big adrenalin dump. You guys know what I'm talking about.

That's a nice buck!! Hope you are in that stand when he comes thru again!

I was out tonite on a new stand on my 68 acres.  Near a clover patch to catch them coming to it and be able to get out if they stay.

Hour before dark I see a deer at other end of clover 250 yds off. Binos and its a spike, another deer with a heavy rack thru tree limbs. Ahh, looking good!!

Ahh then guy next farm starts talking loudly to dog... both deer hightail it.

Another good buck comes from other way but wants nothing to do with grunts and light rattling and keeps on going..

Game over, deer win !

[John Krause]

That is a dandy!!! That's what keeps us going back. Best of luck

Hey gang - Its been awhile since I posted.  Shot this guy on 10/10 with my Toelke longbow.  Believe it or not, he was chasing a yearling doe.  Grunting, scraping and the whole nine yards.  She brought him past my stand and shot him as he trotted past.  Good luck out there this season and stay safe!  I think the Snuffer I used I bought off of KennyM quite a few years ago...Ha!
