Based on the solunar charts and the moon being nearly full, I’ve convinced myself that I need to be in a stand at midday. Since it’s so warm and I just don’t have it in me to pull an all day sit, I’m going to take a nap in the truck and head in about 10 and hunt til 4 on the south ridge. Emmett is taking the day off because his daughter is coming to visit, so I won’t have to listen to him telling me I’m full of chit.

I’ve been hunting food plots in the mornings the past few days because I’ve been bumping deer at our stands in the hardwoods going in before daylight and haven’t been seeing squat. The wind will be absolutely perfect for the south ridge midday. So I’m going to go with my gut. Taking tomorrow off and hitting it hard again Sunday.

That sounds like a good plan Shaw. Good luck! Im going fishing this morning.

If we get a good thunderstorm around lunch would be good time to stalk. In those hardwoods if it is on side with wind or top of ridge those deer may be bedding down in the food and staying cool.

Going to see if these fish want to bite before work this morning. Meeting Southwood here in about 10 minutes. I have his snoopy rod and a loaf of bread. Hopefully that will keep him entertained while I fish.

Good luck!!

I will be going out for my 4th sit of the year today, will be in stand from 10am until dark. Had 7-9 deer bedded in this area Wednesday.

Sitting on a small plot. Making a quick hunt before I go into work. Already seen a doe and fawn

I just stalked some hogs, one of them won't be makin any more bacon!now in the tree for a little while

I'm here, gonna give it till 9:30 if the skeeters don't get me first!

I'll be in the woods this weekend starting this afternoon. Can't wait for 80 degrees, rain, and full moon!

I’m off but too hot for me. Resting up for Illinois starting Monday. Be in the tree from daylight till dark

Went to the gym instead of the woods this morning seen a couple of hot does! I’ll give up a day in the stand with temps in the 70s, rain, and a full moon.

No dice for me!

I’m 36’ up a hardwood today. In the same place I killed the 8 pt last year. Stormed earlier, so I didn’t get in tree until 1000. Had a barely legal 8 pt follow my path in (I had sprayed doe estrous on boot). Hope they keep moving.

Good luck to whoever is hunting today!

I’m all set up. Got a good feeling about this.

Who is Emmett you are talking about? Live in Pickensville?

About to go set up on black warrior wma. Hope they come into these white oaks before dark. They have been killing them where I'm at.

Yep.

Nothing but squirrels and turkeys so far.

I most likely won't be hunting until next weekend. we hopefully will plant plots tomorrow, and then I have to finish putting up stands.

This was the 8 pt from earlier this morning.



Haven’t seen any deer since.

I sat 30 mins before sunrise until 12:30 on corps land. Figured they would move around 10 but didn’t see nothing but skwerls.

Headed to the Kentucky Indiana line now.

Saw 2 about 30 minutes ago in a wheat field

Where?

Off Maysville on my way home.

Up in a tree ready for some action.

I'm hunting a fresh cut out green field and thinned pines. First time you've been able to hunt this area of woods in about 16 years

Just got in a ladder stand after work.

Acorns are raining down.

Saw two at about 2:15 on the side of 459.

8 does and fawns in field

I’m sitting here sweating and thinking I’m an idiot For being out here.

This

x3...I'm hunting a food plot with lots of water oaks dropping acorns on the edge of the field

My first sit in over 2 weeks. Back been bothering me. I see I missed all that good weather. Need shorts and bug spray again. But better than not going.

Got me a nice doe. So happy. I leave next weekend to help a friend in need. Bringing them a freezer and some turkey and now meat

Glad I sat this one out. A cold beer on the back porch with the fans on is awesome. Good luck to the ones hunting.

My Thermacell is my friend this afternoon.

Very nice gesture jmudler!

Saw zero. Bankhead sum tuff huntin!!!!!

Didn’t see squat. Ended up getting run out by a thunderstorm bearing down on me just before 3:30.

Saw 12. but only had 2 in bow range. I’m looking for horns and didn’t see any.

For the first time ever today, mine let me down. Them sumbitches were thick as thieves today in the swamp
