End of the week should be a friggin dynamite time to be in the woods. Mid January is prime time for our place. Throw in 2-3 days of rain and temps dropping rapidly, and Friday afternoon/Saturday should be the golden window to be in the woods. I'm gonna be sure to be out there when the rain subsides, if not slightly before.

I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.

I am going to kill whatever I see next, without question, unless its a spike. I've never gone this late into a season and not have a mature buck encounter. Haven't seen one even from a distance, not even driving in or out in the dark. I've never seen anything like it

Haven't seen one even from a distance, not even driving in or out in the dark. I've never seen anything like it I feel your pain. Everyone that hunts around my area is seeing and killing deer. I have literally only seen a fork horn buck with one side snapped off all year, other than that I've seen does with no sign of a buck around. I don't even get excited about trail cam pics or fresh rubs anymore.

I have jumped one deer this year. Saw its tail. Worst year for me. I have been busted by three separate does this year too, just bad wind management. I keep thinking they're coming in from one way, and they come from the other.

I have been thinking about what I’ve changed in my routine since last year. I just haven’t been in the right place at the right time yet.
