So far, no luck.
Yesterday afternoon I located a new area in the state land I hunt on. It was near a small lake, and plenty of trails near the edges. Real thick stuff all around, but found a small little opening I could get my climber into, and have a few select shooting areas. I had picked up a gallon jug of this stuff called "Buck Jam", but didn't cart it out with me last night. I sat from 3:00 till dark without seeing anything, which didn't surprise me too much. I think this spot is going to be a better morning stand.
Went out this morning, and took the "Jam" along with me. Dumped a little bit onto the ground, and climbed my tree. Was set and ready by a little past 6:30am. It started to lighten up a little around 7:05, with sunrise stated at 7:34am. At 7:15, I saw a shape do a head bob coming out into the opening. Was able to get my bow and stand, but the deer was very skittish and didn't want to come out into the little opening. There were 3 goose hunters about 400 yards away on the lake, might have had it a little wary. Anyways, it never did come out into the opening for a shot, but it had my heart pumpin good. God, I love bowhunting and that feeling.
Made of few more spots of jam around the area, and packed it up for the day. I'll have to wait until next weekend to give it another shot, but it should help settle it down some.
How is every one else doing so far?
