Soooooooo glad to have the site back!

Been out the past 3 days. Finally, today I found some bucks. 3 of them. I tried to stalk in on two of them. Got busted. I have never stalked in on deer before. Any rules I should stick to? Should you always wait until they bed down or do you stalk in on them just when you see them? Also, is hunting from a blind effective for desert mulies during the rut? I keep hearing that they cannot be patterned. I ask this because, I watched a buck making a scrape this evening. I was thinking about building a blind in the area in hopes that he will be there tomorrow evening checking his scrape?

I had that happen to me this past rifle season. Sucks. I know how ya feel. I too will be heading out in the a.m. with my bow. Can't wait! Good luck!

What a unique looking buck! Congrats man!

A buck down and in my freezer from this upcoming archery hunt. If I can get one down, part of the antler will be used to make my wedding ring for our wedding in May. It would be my first animal with a bow and my first deer.

Big thanks on the tip! I will for sure keep that in mind.

I am liking the sound of all of this!!

I will be in 21 for the next few days.

Nice!!

Sounds good! I am heading out tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I will also post what I see and hopefully a picture of a downed buck.

Nice! I can't wait to get my first one out!

Great first buck! Way to set the bar!

Good luck oneshot!

That is a fine buck in my book! Congrats!

Great bull!

What a hog!

Problem fixed!! Headed down to Ross Outdoors and we ended up figuring out the issue! It was my arm AND my collar! Got an arm gaurd and now have to tuck my collar in. Right in the bull now. ;-)

Saw 3 does today. All of them kept looking at something over to the right of where I was. I never got a chance to see what it was though. Found a shed. Also found a pretty fresh rub line. Made a natural blind in the area. Tons of deer sign( tracks and droppings). Hopefully, it will come together.

Thank you everyone for the replies! Great stuff!

But your full-bore-hard-core Lance, the rest of us have to go with the crack, sack and back wax to rock the loin-cloth... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My elbow is doing both actually. Kind of in between down and to the side. I bend my arm though.

Awesome buck! Congrats!

Heading out tomorrow! I will let you guys know if I see anything!

Very nice and that is a heck of a shot! Story?

Great looking buck!!
