    After 6 1/2 hours, rain is finally done.

    Hunt on, hopefully, maybe, possibly, sort of

    All set and ready took my time and checked the cam. My cam must be acting up I took a pine branch and cleared all tracks out of the mud when I set it up last Monday and there were many many sets of tracks but only one set of pics from yesterday a small buck at 12pm. Oh well I know there's big deer in here.

    Hung a stand and checked a few cams. Buck movement has been non existent the last two days.

    The plan is to stay in tonight and get prepared to sit in the rain tomorrow.

    Wind is starting its shift to the NW so I switched stands as well. Sun is coming out, hoping the deer will move bedding both for the windshift and to soak in some sun.

    Time will tell

    Saw a nice buck walking into stand... tried to call him in but he wasn't interested. Got to stand and there is fresh doe droppings right next to a mock scrape I made. Have some tinks estrous out now. feeling very blessed to be out here.

    Seen two lone does this morning. Realized i was sitting in wrong spot. Moved stsnd to where the deer have been traveling only to find an oak tree still bombing down fresh acorns. Then i moved another stand down in this grassy river bottom. The grass is similar to crp. There are several oxbows close as well. Decided to stay in the bottom. We will see.

    Congrats twitch! Love the brows!

    The rain is finally starting to stop here. Looking at the radar I either have about a 2 hour window before more or it might miss to the north.
    During the rain had two does come in with no bucks and thats it.

    Have some turkeys close by but I can see them yet. Just over the other hill side.


    Lone hen came up the hill. She is in the field feeding now.

    Have to be in my classroom, and each day I do a bell ringer. This is what I put up today.

    Happy End of America Day.

    Go Hillary, Go Donald. I don't care where, just go away.

    Just in case you are not fighting in an armed revolution
    tomorrow, start working on

    P 147: 1- 24

    Just remember, Independents vote today and Democrats and Republicans vote tomorrow. (Or just text your vote in. Pretty sure that will work:)

    Just got to the stand. Setup before the rain hits. Hoping to get one moving before the front comes in. I am officially on huntcation so I will be in the stand as much as possible.

    Back on stand...traded the big woods for a quick suburban hunt. Don't like it near as much but I have to balance family life with this thing called hunting.
