Thanks Gary! There is plenty of time left.

Less bucks after gun season tho, those females will get ya killed no matter what species...

Truth!

North wind in morning, back to a E/W travel corridor from feed to bed. Hoping to see some activity...

Hope the deer read the playbook!

Sure makes it hard to pass them when they make themselves easy targets. Lol

You have some good self control. Especially when they act like they want to be shot like that.

kennym · December 01, 2021, 01:29:19 PM

He was tempting when he turned away like that .

4 does this morn with a sucky wind, they didn't bust me but knew something was up and tuned back. So I left before a buck came thru and pegged me. Shop work now...

About ready to refuse to hunt unless I have a 5 mph plus steady wind.

No or swirling wind is definitely a bad deal. Having to count on thermals on those days is iffy at best.

kennym · December 01, 2021, 02:44:53 PM

That was the prob this morn I think , 3 mph from wsw and thermals pulling west so it just yo-yo back n forth

We rarely have to worry about winds below 5-10 mph in SD and only consider it windy if blowing more than 30 mph. However, it can make it feel like you're sitting on a telephone pole when the wind comes up as anyone in SD and ND will attest.

kennym · December 06, 2021, 07:12:05 PM

I don't need quite that much wind!!

I've still been after them, but figured you all were tired of hearing about me not killin anything!

I did have a close call with a great 8 point last Saturday, he was following does who obligingly came by at 18 yards, but he cut the corner and went by at 40ish.

Hope a super stud presents himself

No sir still interested but we started some management hunts to thin our doe herd so I spend 4 days a week working on boat docks and 3 days a week semi-guiding hunters. Still get some stand time but it's a busy time right now.

They are checkin my resolve at 15 yds . LOL

rastaman · December 09, 2021, 11:51:27 AM

You have more will power than i do!

rainman · December 09, 2021, 12:06:35 PM

Looks like the same dumb one from the 30th.

David Flanrey · December 09, 2021, 01:41:33 PM

I could not pass that test!!

kennym · December 09, 2021, 02:07:36 PM

LOL could be same deer , half mile away from other spot

GCook · December 09, 2021, 10:09:22 PM

Fun to watch them even when you aren't shooting them.

For sure, if I just wanted a deer, rifle would be easy and done in a short time. Great enjoyment watching them do their everyday life things.

These two were running buddies and sparred lightly a half dozen times while in view.
