2023 Deer Season

[cg21]

Good wind for the box blind still…… probably over hunting my little parcel sometimes I can’t help myself…. And when the wind is right there is minimal if any disruption to the deer.

My father in law got this one. He was uncertain about "that little 6.5mm bullet" in his new 6.5 creedmoor rifle, but now he is a believer

Doe tonight with my tikka 6.5CM at 275 yards. My daughter helped gut it and drag it out

Last night we didn’t go hunting…….. pics of deer and a flock of turkeys right in front of the blind ! So back after it today apparently us in the blind isn’t bothering them. With this south wind I doubt anyone even know we are there

 

[cg21]

No deer tonight but had about 20 or so turkeys roost right above us that was fun

I have hunted every night this week and have not seen a deer. This has been the worst/weirdest season I have ever had.

The harder I try and more I want it the worse it goes for me lol

I have hunted every night this week and have not seen a deer. This has been the worst/weirdest season I have ever had.

Had a season like that a couple years ago. Had not seen crap for weeks. The last day of muzzleblaster, 10 does stepped out at 50 yards. Nine ran away.

Out this morning in the DRZ - no activity.

My deer cams have gone 95% nocturnal.

Took tomorrow off but the wind will be completely wrong. I'll just stay home and work around the house. Good winds for Saturday.

I saw 23 last night and not a shooter in the bunch. Had basketball tonight and the next two.

Took this yearling late yesterday coming out of the woods from cutting wood. I've not really had much time for hunting this year and my game cameras have not shown many deer moving this year.

At least we're not alone in these empty, quiet woods these days.

I haven't seen a deer on camera in over a week. My gun season is over. Might go out a couple more times with the crossbow but things don't look promising.

that big 10pt I missed opening weekend showed himself again in the same spot on Wednesday at 730am. taunting me as I was getting ready for work.

I took the day off work and hunted all day but didn’t see him or anything else. since then I haven’t seen anything. I’m wondering how this weekend will go. I’ll probably go sit anyway, but I’m already looking at cleaning up my grandpa’s muzzleloaders for late season

(Sorry for potato quality photo, i was zoomed completely taking a clip and screenshotted this still from it. I used binoculars and he was 10pt, although it’s hard to tell in photo)

 

[Cavman]

Well my season has been a bust.. gotta work this weekend of rifle, so guess I'll sight in the encore next week for muzzleloader

350 legend has been amazing for me. 6 deer down in last two years, no issues at all. Shooting the hornady 165gr FTX

I hope everyone has had a safe season, lots of nice harvests in here!

Another slow afternoon in the stand. Filmed a big Tom bobcat yesterday and just had a covey of 20-25 quail walk through and into the switchgrass. Can still hear them chatting. Pretty cool, I’ve never seen them passively like that before.
