But it didn't deter the deer from hitting the Alfalfa before the end of legal shooting time. A successful fun hunt in all.

    • @EpicWhitetailHabitatLLC
      @EpicWhitetailHabitatLLC 13 днів тому

      @josephkilmer7440 the Blind featured is a double bull 360. The 2 features I look for are my ability to draw my bow without being seen or heard, and also window clearance. Is the bottom of the window adjustable or at least for good clearance if stationary for an arrow to pass cleanly when the arrow is released. I'm always willing to pay a little more if the product has exactly what I'm looking for. Here is a link to the Blind featured in this video. amzn.to/4hiiAPA

    Floating stand sites along property lines are one thing. The second someone puts up a visible semi-permeant stand on a property line they are saying screw you this whole area is mine forever. This is a (non-binding) form of adverse possession and this has to invoke a response. One day their grandkids will be yelling that you should know better than to walk past their stand. I also find it quite ironic that everyone has the right to use every inch of their property, but gets upset when their hunt is disturbed by their neighbor doing the same. If you continue to believe that because you have the right to put a permeant stand on a property line and by doing so you are showing no disrespectful and this represents you well. I am sorry.

    I would say your relative on UTV is a coincidence,, by October 10th bucks are dispersing and going solo. I watch So many videos of people spraying cameras with scent killer and wiping stuff down, spraying their rubber boots and mature bucks won't come. Blah blah blah. The wife and me have 700 acres and use 4wheeler to haul in corn to feeders and move cameras all over the property finding where the bucks are. I constantly have mature bucks on camera and shoot mature bucks every year with bow and rifle, most within 30 yards no matter what weapon and most under 20 yards. My bucks start going nocturnal about the 1st of October, they just do every year. If we get a cool front they might sneak around in daylight. Every year around Halloween the bucks start moving more. I've hunted this spot for 26 years and know what the deer do. Find a good buck area there's always a buck there. During the season I only hunt if the wind is right. I don't care if a monster is on camera every day and the wind is wrong I won't hunt there. I have stands all over for different winds , some stands are only 40 yards apart because of a great buck trail so I can hunt the wind. If you're lazy you're probably not a successful bow hunter and probably not rifle either. Guys shooting a spike or 2 year old 8 haven't hunted a mature buck and had to deal with how careful and smart mature bucks are. Have a great season 👍

    Shame our state has no protocol for treating this other than 200mg Doxy if within 72 hours. I've used a few drops of Povidone iodine with a dusting of Doxy on a bandaid as my personal go-to for topical treatment, but keeping Doxy Hyclate on hand is essential. The super-tiny ticks that embed deep, quickly, and undetectable if not for a bump, are frustrating.

    Our place is 16 acres and fortunately our state allows us to feed deer.We could only get to our stand sight via a ridge road that runs Right in the middle of the property So,,I start conditioning the deer to my electric golf cart by taking food,,corn,, fruit and mineral by hauling them plenty to eat daily around lunch time.Our blind is always there along with a water bowl(large one)..We also keep cameras running so we can see what's coming in.When wind direction is right for the blind and deer are coming in,,I do everything the same with one minor change,, I leave my wife in her very comfortable chair in the blind and I drive the buggy back to the house.5 mature buck in 5 years proves it can be done.
