I have two types of sits now. Kill meat sits and a targeted buck sit.
If it’s not right. Wind, temp, fronts, deer not coming in consistent I don’t sit in the tree and hope. I don’t hunt.
So.
Kill a buck sits this year. 3 one of which was a harvest.
The deer in the back ground is the one I harvested.
Got the pictures I needed, and killed him on the first sit. He was with another deer that “scored” like him but was way younger. This deer is 128” gross. 117 net. 4.5 yrs old documented by a wildlife Biologest.
The other two buck hunt sits.. saw the deer two of them I thought I was after. Couldn’t bring my self to shoot. Both over 110” but the racks just didn’t turn me on I guess. I really want a pope and young. So hopefully they make it. I just had to lay my eyes on them to really judge them. They looked huge in velvet.
The other sit I didn’t see the deer in person.
I let a buddy get in the tree a couple nights later and he got em.
Doe killing sits a lot. Some worked and some didn’t. I like nice tight shots on meat deer because I don’t like tracking and dragging that much.
With all this blabbing I’ve decided if I shoot anymore bucks under 125” they will have age on them. 4.5yrs old or older. If they aren’t net 125” deer by the time they are 4-5 yrs old they will probably never will be.
It’s amazing to see documented deer by wildlife Biologest that have crazy horns and are only 3.5yrs old.
The 10 pointer my buddy killed this year was only a 2.5 yr old deer. Now he would have been a stud at 3-4.

zero and zero for me so far.... with limited mobility this year I'm relying heavily on trail cams to tell me when to start..... should be soon.
From years past though,,, i can safely say that the ratio of Sept & Early Oct bowhunts to shooter sightings is low... so low in fact that I basically dont start anymore until Oct 15th even before all these back issues.
3 sits, all pm, 1 kill and 3 seen. 2 were together in same sit.
8 sits in afternoon, 3 deer over 110, all within 30 yards.
