Deer Stand View Pictures Thread - This Could Be Fun

[Emperor]

I've literally NEVER deer hunted in LA. It's bizarre seeing palmettos and such in these pics.

Ha! On my pics, that's the places where there aren't as many as they REALLY have!

There are places where I hunt, where you cannot even go through with a tractor.

Black Bear family

Thought y'all might want to see this. My nephew hunted Red River WMA last weekend for the doe days....A family of Black Bears walked by pretty close to his ladder stand- with one of the young-uns being more than a little bit curious about his ladder!

I told him I almost wish he'd have let it stay a few more seconds to see if it would've tried to climb a couple of rungs- but then again, he probably wouldn't have wanted "Momma" to come running up the ladder after her cub, either....


Anyway- here it is.

That's awesome! I would have loved to see that in person.

Did your nephew drag that metal ladder stand into the woods on RR WMA? They don't allow fixed stands there now, do they? That seems like a lot of work. I hope he killed.

Yeah, he drug it in....You can leave them in the woods during deer season- as long as they're in a "non-hunting position" (not set up on the tree).

Those are those ultra-light ladder stands; they aren't heavy at all & easy to drag- and cheap (like $49 at Academy). He didn't kill- but he was so thrilled about seeing the bears up close & personal he didn't even care...that kid was on cloud nine. He could not WAIT to get back to the camp & tell us, be accused of pulling our legs- and then submit the "video evidence" to us...

That's pretty cool. I've seen a couple of females with one cub or two, over the years, but never three.

But Ritten: Sun in face?????? Morning or evening......Yow!

Yup, sun in face. I shot TWO coming off of the far tree line right after the sun went down behind the trees.

This is what I have to work with.

Sweet #1 there wilkinson. What caliber is it? I've got #1 22-250 and some 60 Partitions to work up a load with. Was thinking about taking it out a few times later this season.

I I do most of my Deer Hunting on my cousin’s place down in the bottom of one of the hay fields overlooking a creek bead. I put up a trail cam just to see what was coming down to the feeder and when. These are from inside looking out of my ground blind. These are a couple of pictures from my trailcam. If I am able to get a shot on this Doe I’ll take it just to put her down. Someone wasn’t a good shot.

Here are some more views from this weekend afield. Interesting twists and turns.
Front view

Left view (I am a right handed shooter). Of course, this is with doe already down.

Then, if you look closely; you can see the visitor on these next two.

It is a bobcat. Now, as a rule; I don't shoot these guys bcause they are cool and I are not a douche! But this story takes a turn for the worse. He appeared about 15 minutes after I neck stoned this big doe. It showed up right under me on the trail, then went back in the palmettos a fes steps later only to emerge again by my deer. After sniffing around a bit, it latched on to the neck of my deer and tried to pull it into the palmettos. Relaizing it was too big to drag, the cat started to eat out the deer's a-hole. I was not going to sweat that, but had made up my mind, that if he tried to eviscerate the deer from the belly, I was not going to stand for that. After about 5 minutes of ass fest, he made the mistake of trying to take a viscious bite out of the deers belly. I shoot these deer in the neck so I don't have to deal with broken gut bags.

If you look closely, yo can see where the cat took the bite out of the deer belly.

Then 30 minutes later; The Emperor pounds another.

And then Sunday morning;

And then after that, the sugar in me; saw this cool looking moth, and took this: (Yes out of focus). <Can I use the word "Homo" instead????

All in all, a very interesting weekend. Oh, and my kid saw a huge 10point chasing two does..........ALREADY!

Here's the view from my favorite climbing stand location. It's a natural funnel area between a large field and a creek on our lease in Natchitoches Parish. These shots are from about 25 ft up the tree I climb. The largest deer I ever shot was at this location, just not this year.

Here's the view looking into the woods with the field at my back.

Here's what it looks like to the right. That lane is about 150 yards long.

And here's the view looking left, lane is about 80 yards.

Last Saturday, a cull deer came up behind me in the field. The shot was about 150 yards, 308 Win, 165 gr Sierra over H380 powder. He weighed 145 lbs.

Front view. About 50 yds down hill to the feeder.

To the left. About 50 yds to the rice bran pile.

That rain on Tuesday sucked!
Latest view. Right

Only thing I saw last night.

I got good neighbors.

I have several more stand pics to post (because I am always mobile), but the banality of the "Palmetto Sea" may be too boring. The does have gone underground, again! They always do this time of year, right before mass rapings begin. Don't know about you other deer hunters, but I am expecting some cool action shots soon. Stay tuned!

You probably can't see them all but there are eleven deer out there.
