I have been lurking yet following along on your hunts Mike. I enjoy your recaps and pictures. Definitely much different than Texas! Good luck the rest of the way. I hope you stick a big 'un!

I am hunting this evening a spot I call River Meadow. I killed my buck last year out of this tree. I am in the middle of a 45 yard wide meadow that runs from the base of a steep slope over to the river. West wind blowing out across the river in the pasture behind me. Late start. Been in the tree about 30 minutes. I bumped two doe walking in. It's going to get dark in here quickly

Daggum Mike!!! I am just catching up to all of this and now following. I agree that one stand is definitely in a beautiful spot and would be hard to not over bowhunt. 250 pounds on the hoof is downright serious......that would be enough for me to sling an arrow also. 1 week until my Saskatoon flight and following this hunt is my primer........lol!!!!

I saw only the two doe walking in and one walking out.
I have hunted that tree twice before on morning sits. I rattled in a pretty good 10 point one year ago today. That buck came to 17 yards. I passed on him.
On November 11th I killed a buck from the same tree. I didn't rattle this evening. I will rattle as soon as I have good shooting light in the morning.

The other day I was thinking... Have I died and gone to Heaven? As a whitetail hunter I hope Heaven is like this and I get to experience it everyday.
I am fortunate and blessed to have 3 neighbors that let me hunt their ground in addition to our 63 acres. I told my wife the other day we are so lucky to have such great neighbors.
I am going to try to kill a good one, but if I don't kill anything I really dont care. I enjoy the process... scouting, game cams, food plots, setting stands, saddle hunting, watching the sunrises and sunsets. If I kill one it is just a bonus.
I hunted up the river about a mile this evening on my neighbors ground.

Two young bucks and two does so far this morning. I rattled and these two guys came to check out the fight.
Bucks in training.
Last picture is just a pretty Oak in fall color taken out of my tree.
