No results in this "hour by hour" reporting. Perhaps this morning. It is important to stress, regardless of preparation and anticipation, that the deer must PARTICIPATE.
Well in 2020 it seemed all of the deer were observing the state imposed lockdowns and practicing extreme social distancing from me ... literally went out 40 times, different places, different techniques, from early to late season, saw a few but nothing big enough or close enough.
But now in 2021 the deer are just sick and tired of it all, and decided to return to normal, un-vaxxed and un-masked! I had 4 (Yearling Spike, 2 does, and a fawn) come by the stand Sun morning early. Came by 3 times, little buck knew there was something somewhere but couldn't see me, pawing and snorting. Finally the bigger doe gave me a broadside at 18yds.
Hoping everyone else has a successful hunting season, and would be happy to see photos in this thread!
