    Set up on a clover plot sandwiched between bedding and standing corn. If it’s gonna happen it will probably be quick. With that in mind I check in when I’m walking out. Good luck!

    Moved to my impromptu blind, getting rather wilty.

    I know that buck aim't going to come back by, but maybe something will. Was either hunt this or go home, I'm already here.

    Need about 25 minutes fir the sun to drop behind the trees, freaking lit up right now.

    Never saw another deer after 10:15, wind was supposedly blowing from south, but I had milkweed going every direction all day.

    Ground blind is gone from there though, nit sure what that means or if they just moved it. Deer are definitely highly pressured right now, aside from last Tuesday amd the buck Wed. I have never seen it like this here. I've litterally seen 3 doe, 4 if you count the one in the headlamp this morning, if it wasn't the tep button bucks from last Tuesday.

    What a beautiful afternoon. I’m on the end of a ridge, very secluded spot.
    I see 2 fresh scrapes within 20 yards.
    A little breezy but it’s slowing down.
    I passed a big 8 here 2 years ago, only because it was a 40 yard shot and super windy.
    Maybe he’s still around??

    I'm sitting in camp for the evening. I'm taking this evening and tomorrow morning off and I'm going to get a little rest.

    This morning's sit made 14 straight and I'm just a little tired. The 72 degree temps aren't really encouraging anyway.

    Good luck to everyone out this afternoon.

    The story gets worse. The blind I saw is 40 yards west, up wind, of me. Someone sat there Saturday night and or Sunday. Currently there is an individual 50-60 east of me. I know this because there are using the most plastic grunt call I've ever heard while rattling antlers made out, what sounds like, cheap @$$ coat hangers.

    A discussion is imminent.

    I'm out but I don't have any confidence that I will see any deer tonight.
    Temps are up to 70. 72. We shall see, good luck all who are out.

    Nope, not faceous. This thing makes my lower back scream. It's the Cruzr XC with the pleats. I thought the pleats would help with support but it's not enough. Probably try to sell the whole set-up when I get home

    Driving home and a clearing off the highway where sometimes see deer feeding, small doe coming down the hill towards highway. Talking 40 yds from roadway, look back up the hill and a huge bodied buck trailing her.

    Had to stop to fill up, turning around and going back to see if got hit. Rush hour traffic not good.

    Looking forward to tomorrow's hunt! I have zero expectation of seeing anything, just want to enjoy the morning overlooking the section of woods where I grew up hunting. My dad will be hunting as well, and we are gonna be meeting at our usual spot at noon to walk out together for cokes and snacks at the jeeps.
