Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.    

Non-hunting Week

Posted By: Arthur on November 4, 2007 in Ramblings - Comments: 2 Comments »

I’ve been kind of a slacker lately with the site and with posting the hunting logs.  Quite honestly it has been because the deer movement has been non-existent for me.  I’m not sure what happened.  Apparently someone flipped off the switch.

I’ve been going over in my head, about a thousand times, all the places that we have stands and where the best location would be for the chase phase.  I think one of the best spots we have for the rut is the spot that I sat tonight and still it just didn’t work out.  I don’t know why.  I was starting to think that maybe we over hunted the property a little in the last week and that could have something to do with it.  Time will tell.

There is no use in debating on whether I need to give the property some time off or not, because this week with the time change, I can’t hunt after work anyway, so there won’t be any hunting for me until next Saturday.  I’m looking forward to it, and with the new moon that should be in effect, I am anticipating the hunt like crazy.  Eventually my luck has to turn around.  Doesn’t it???

I have vacation all next week so hopefully with me being able to put some serious time in the woods I can catch a little break and turn this thing around.  I have my first morning spot picked out already and if that doesn’t work by early afternoon I’m switching to a stand that has been sitting dormant for quite some time.

Bottom line-hopefully this non-hunting week turns into some serious action next week.  Lets hope so!

  1. I’ll cross my fingers about next week. It does look like it is going to get colder and possibly snow, so that could help.

    Come back deer! Arthur needs a buck!
