2023 Live From The Tree

On and off for about the last 20 mins of shooting light I had the 11 point and young 8 fighting in the bean field. If they weren’t pushing each other around they were harassing the does and fawns. Closest they got was about 100 yards. It was a entertaining sit! Planning to head back out in the morning.

Just seeing that gets the blood pumping. I woke up to a kid throwing up so he has to skip this mornings hunt. I’m doing a run to savage again and bow hunting. Hope to go back and get him this afternoon if he feels better

Nothing so far this morning and the farmer just fired up the combine so we’ll see how this goes. I may not sit real late this morning and instead shift a couple stands now that the corn is coming out.

I have been having a good old school standoff with this young lady for 5 minutes. She busted me shifting ground spots at 20 yards.

I found a line of trees this size beat to hell. So I climbed up a tree near by.
Now I wait

Yeah thats a giant doing that. Hopefully you get an arrow in him!

Now off to Wisconsin. This guy didn’t make it 14 yards and collapsed. He presented to good of a opportunity to not take him. The kid will go in for Brutus on that same land.

Nice buck. Tag filled!

Is there 6 or 8 points on it? Can’t see if there are any brow tines.

Way to go Bear. Nice buck. Congrats!

He’s a 8. I’ll get a better picture. I wish my son wasn’t sick. This should have been his. But we will get him a bigger one.

Nice BC!

Nice Bearcat! One nice 10 crossed the neighbors old food plot across the valley, and I bumped a nice one on the walk in this morning. It’s a nice morning but less movement than expected.

I took the weekend off as well. Been sick since Thursday.

Nice buck Bearcat!!

Nice buck BC.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments. Felt great to connect with that boy. But man it’s saddening as well, I love the time in the woods. I am going to start putting in some time across the river in WI.

Congratulations on a good buck Bearcat!

Your old bow is in good hands. I’m now going to hand it off to the kid and I’ll buy a new one. Thank you for selling me it. It has served me well.

Glad it’s being put to good use!

Nice buck BC. Glad it worked out for you. I’m sure the land owner will be happy as well to see you get a nice deer.

Congrats on a dandy BC. Glad to see kid was able to get out and get it done also, tell him congrats also.

Congrats, BC. Well deserved and best of luck in Wisconsin.

Found one to chase in WI.

I was working on my rifle stand on Monday. My truck was parked next to the stand and running. At about 2pm I turned around and there was a very big buck watching me at like 80 yards. Watched me for a couple minutes and walked off. I’m very picky on what bucks I shoot and this would have been an opening morning shooter for sure. Out past the ears and very heavy. If only I would have gotten out bow hunting this season. I haven’t purchased a single license yet for any species.

Dandy for sure!

Funny how that works. Few years back a buddy of mine and myself were drinking beers shooting clay pigeons and cranking some toons. After probably 50-75 shots a big old bruiser walks out of the woods about 75 yards away right where the clay pigeons were landing and stands there and looks at us. around 1:30 in the afternoon.

21 hours and counting till the 2023 Rutcation begins.
Will be heading to Ne at noon tomorrow to start the 2 week bow hunting trip.
2 Ne tags, 1 SD tag and my Mn tag still in my pocket.

Sweet November is almost here.
Good luck everyone!

I have a conference call at 9 tomorrow, and then my week of vacation starts. Pulled a couple cameras this afternoon, and bucks are on their feet big time.

Good luck to all the hunters! I think a lot of deer are going to die over the next week with this cold front.
