Got called into work this morning but about to hop in the truck and head out now. Wind is perfect. Ready to be in the stand, pull the card and check out photos while in the stand. Rifle season will be here soon

The earliest I can get back in the Woods will be Tuesday. Calling for rain though so I don't know. Lord we do need some rain around here.

I killed a 9pt while in Iowa. He's definitely not what I went up there for. I think my brain short cicuited. I put inches of bone on this deers head he obviously did not have.
I'm in IL until Friday trying to get it done here. If not I'm headed to KY for their opening week of rifle season.
Need some cold weather bad up this way. These mild to hot temps have day time movement subdued.
Congrats on the doe Slippin!!

Didn't make it to the woods this weekend due to kids playing soccer and Sunday afternoon spent the evening with the wife who has been working 10 to 12 hours a day for the past several weeks.
Am off Friday and hope to hunt then possibly Saturday.

Well I blew it yesterday afternoon. Had a spike and a good 8pt come in and they ended up smelling me. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I haven't been in the stand a while and it's driving me crazy. I'm manager for my father in law and have to oversee 2 stone quarries and 40+ Hispanics and with this drought were unbelievable busy. I've got my vacation in and got everything set up for next weekend and then it's on.

Got a doe this morning. 3 came in about 8:00 AM and I took the largest. she weighed 102 pounds on the hoof. Ran about 100 yards before she went down. Blood was everywhere. Ray Charles could have tracked her.

I hunted yesterday evening, killed a coyote on the way to the stand and took it back to the truck and got settled into my ground blind. About 1 month before season I cut a 20 yard wide break in the hardwoods where I had "planned" to plant a green field. I've gotten so many pictures of mature deer off this camera during day light I couldn't believe. Seen does and right before dark a small 4-5 point stepped out and was munching on acorns in the dirt strip. I set up a new stand on the same property on a beaten down trail on the side of the ridge along a old property line fence.

Is anybody else hunting or got plans to hunt over the Thanksgiving holiday? I'm going in the morning and will hunt to about 1:00 PM. Then help the wife cook and celebrate with the family Thursday. Gotta work Black Friday at Home Depot and plan to hunt again Saturday morning.
