Pretty sure my connection in KY is lined up. Would invite you guys but I was invited and am not in a position to do any inviting right now. Be my luck I end up trying to figure out where to put an Ohio and KY mount next year. lol Go from tag soup to 2 tags filled? Wouldn't break my heart.
I don't think I'll be getting out this weekend with the muzzy, but I'm hoping to get out a few more weekends with my bow before the season closes. However if we get some good ice, that could certainly change things. I'm getting the ice fishing itch pretty bad right about now.
Last year about this time, I stumbled on a couple spots where the deer were browsing hard on briars before entering the open fields. If the cold weather stays, that's probably where I'll be perched with my bow in hand.

We shot a little buck on sun. coming tot he corn with a doe, then as we were letting our bows down we had one sneak up on us and then bolted. Only ran about 60 yds and then just walked off.
I am going to try to take a cpl hours tomrrow and hunt after work. Got Disney on ice on sat, then I will be out sunday evening after church. Wont be hunting mon or tuesday. As long as I can keep the corn out, they will keep coming back...
Remember boys white + Yellow = RED!!
We need the snow and cold to stick though, this 50 degrees stuff tomorrow aint gonna cut it.

Working all weekend so ML is out now for me. As busy as work is right now and the forecasted workload for the year, I will be struggling to make it out in January to shoot one for the freezer!! Can't complain though, being busy at work is a good thing!! Putting out some corn after ML just in case I get a free evening to get in the stand a bust one!
Best of luck to all of you fellers that are making it out this weekend, be safe!

As in a pile?:smiley_chinrub:..Sounds doable to me...How big of a pile?:smiley_confused_vraHow many piles on say 6 to 10 acre of woods? :smiley_confused_vraOne?

Make two small piles about 10 feet from one another and broadcast some loose around as well. It will keep the deer moving back and forth from one pile to another, offering more shot angles, that way they don't lock up and feed in one position that might not be the best shot opportunity.

Not to mention it will prevent the deer from touching each other and spreading diseases. mischeif.gif

Sorry to be a PITA but small as in 2....5gallon buckets each pile?Or a 5gal bucket spilt between them?..I had the wife pick up a 100lb on the way home from work this AM.Thats what about 15gal of corn or so in 100lb?.Maybe I should have had her pick up 200lb?I got some apples coming sooner or later TOO
Honestly, as warm as the weather has been, they aren't going to be trying to survive on your pile right now. If it was 5 degrees outside with 5 inches of snow on the ground, I would dump it all, as they could easily eat 100 lbs in a few days. I would put a couple buckets full out for now and see how it goes. Once they start hitting the pile (may take a few days for them to find it and get used to feeding on it), you will have a better idea of how much they are going to eat in say a week.
Once the weather turns nasty, more deer will start hitting it and for longer periods of time.
I am trying to decide if I even wanna buy a tag and go. I wouldn't mind getting another doe but I am not sure I wanna buy a tags just to hunt one day. One of the guys I work with has a bow only property I could go to later in Jan and probably shoot a doe tho so I might.

Going to hunt today, tomorrow and possibly Saturday. I kinda have an allergy that flares up when I wear orange while I carry a crossbow. I ain't neither a buck or a doe why do I have to wear that stupid orange anyways.

I am excited to get out there with the ol' muzzy. Haven't been hunting since extra gun week-end with both holidays falling on the week-ends. I am planning on going out Sunday and then Tuesday if need be, then hoping the bitter cold comes for late bow season.
Ok, possibly a change of plans now. I think I'm going to try to go out with the muzzy this weekend after all. I haven't checked cams in over a month and I need an excuse to try out my LW sticks anyway. :smiley_coolpeace:

I was planning on heading to camp to muzzy hunt but all my buddies say they are done. So that left me headed to camp for the weekend alone. Because that doesn't sound like too much fun I decided to stay home and hunt my other lot.
Driving by it today the neighbor has this huge excavator parked in their woods. I called him this morning and he said they are clear cutting it beginning today through Saturday.
So, I think I'm going to choose my latter choice and compete with chain saws and equipment and we'll see what happens. At least I get to sleep in my own house this weekend.
