    SR, you made the right call not shooting. Good patience.

    Didn't see a thing this morning while hunting but as soon as I was within 50 yards of my truck, there was a large doe eating in the turnip patch but she saw me just before I saw her and bolted. Then on the way out, I saw another mature doe walking a tree line in one of our cow pastures. So now I have a good idea of 2 places that I plan on setting up some stands and cameras in the near future!!

    Changed properties. I'm not sure how long I'll be here. New property, not much sign. Trying something new a pop-up blind.

    Back up a tree with the bow. A balmy 20 degrees with little to no wind. Trying the later than normal approach. Got settled in with 6 minutes to go, didn't bump anything that I'm aware of.

    Good luck all who are out.

    You'd think they'd be moving, but I haven't seen anything yet
