    I'm debating on whether to go out tomorrow morning or try the afternoon. I've got a pretty hard wind to hunt all tomorrow for my farm.

    Sorry all, been away at the fair - took vacation, but had to come to work today (boo). Husband went and pulled cameras, all of the nice bucks have since disappeared. But, this last week has been extremely hot for our area. So I doubt anything is really moving. The sign kind of stopped all of a sudden. But, I'm feeling pretty confident still in my stand location.

    Season opens in two weeks (from tomorrow). Have all of my hunting clothes hanging in the apple tree. Soon we should be getting more points!

    I was just reading scorecard and someone is all mad because his deer didn't count because they didn't have two pictures.

    That's clearly in the initial rules.

    I didn't catch original, so not sure what team they are on, but poor sportsmanship for sure.

    Great looking bucks!

    I sat yesterday morning with no luck. It's a little early for the acorns to drop, and we've been extremely dry the past couple weeks. So the deer have been reluctant in the beans and slow in the woods. If we don't have much more rain this follow week i'm going to sit a morning/afternoon sit at the creek and try my luck there.

    I have my first Circuits Analysis test on Wednesday so i'll be studying hard until then. But im going to try an afternoon hunt after the test if the wind plays in my favor.

    We had an east wind on the farm yesterday so I didn't hunt the aftenroon. Instead I planted the brassicas in the plots. We should get some rain tomorrow...hoping it's enough to get good seed to soil contact.

    Good luck with the up coming hunts guys and gals!

    Was 40* this morning. Our mornings have been quite chilly lately. Always a good thing. Last camera check didn't have much on them. But, it was also warmer than normal. Hoping to have a good opening day in just under two weeks. My hit list includes a 7, 8, and 13 point. I'd be pleased with any - although only a couple pictures of each. None are monster huge, either.

    Haven't been out since I shot the doe last Monday. This is the last week of bear hunting over bait for us, so thats where I've been sitting. Saw a monster bear last Thursday night about 10 minutes after legal light as I was waiting for my ride to come pick me up. The bear will dress out 400lbs no problem, and boy would I love to let the air out of it's lungs with a killzone!! I'll be back in the deer stand next week.

    Looks like some good bucks Austin! We are headed to Coulterville IL the 2nd week of November for our annual hunting trip.
