Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Hunting/Trapping 2014-2015

No success yesterday for me. Had a set of twin bucks, both with 7"-9" spikes walk under the ladder stand last evening, both within 5 yds, one came over and sniffed the actual ladder on the stand. I guess the "Dead Down Wind" scent eliminating spray worked, or I didn't stink too bad to them! I could have dropped an arrow on it.

I also watched a pair of bucks half heartedly dukeing it out for about 15 minutes at 200 yds. Dark enough out that I couldn't make out the racks thru my 8x rangefinder. With the deer there I couldn't get out of the stand until 7:30 p.m. CST without giving away my location.

No does at all.

I did find roughly 5# of Hen-of-the-woods and some fall button mushrooms, and left more Hens to grow for later. This may be a year like 3-4 years ago when I saw 14 different bucks but hardly any does. I put this stand in that spot because Sunday/Monday/Tuesday I had pictures of a bunch of does and bucks on the trail camera.
