    You do have a dilemma. I think you need to put the wife first.

    Hey guys. I have been out a few times in the neighborhood these past weeks. Took a decent doe that was about to blow at me. Just can't deal with them blowing up my spot. My neighbor sends me a pic yesterday of a 2.5 year old 8 pt walking right through his backyard at 8:30. Hunted on 11/5 at my lease and saw a doe at 5:03 pm. Father in law saw this guy at 30 yds but couldn't get a shot. I have two years of pics with him but nothing this year. He's at least 3.5 years old. I have off Friday so I'll be back at it Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. WGI_9316.JPG

    Good luck to everyone getting out over the next 2 weeks. Get out every chance you get because it will be over before you know it.

    Good. I took her to Dunhams before dinner and got her a new pair to winter slip on boots. Of course i needed some 308 shells and some deer dander. Then dinner at Red Lobster followed by watching IUs opener... Great evening all the way around.

    Got a good one camera finally, but he is broke up!

    Good on you for treating the wife.

    Glad to see your finally getting some bigger buck pictures. It looks like a 3-year-old to me. It's encouraging to see him in daylight at that time also. When are you getting back out?

    I rushed home from work to try and get a 1.5 hour sit. We’ll see what happens.

    Got the opportunity to hunt at a buddy’s club this coming Saturday. Crashing at the cabin Fri night and all day sit the next day. He’s got a dandy of a buck hanging around that I’m hoping to deflate while I’m there. Good luck all.

    Heading out at 1pm to sit in a fence row hide i set up a couple days ago. Should have a good chance at seeing does. I'll take one if no buck is following.

    This will be my view. Corn is out now.

    I'm heading out now, in for the duration. Time for something to go down. Same date I shot my buck last year....

    This year is really frustrating! I just can't seem to get on a big one. Had a small buck at 25 tonight 6pt maybe a forky, but I'm not wasting a bolt on them. I have yet to see a buck chasing a doe. Guess that means I gotta hunt harder next week.

    Had a nice shooter come through late, just out of range, couldn't connect. But nice to finally have a big boy close.
