    What's everyone seeing in the bush as far as action? Going to take a week off work soon as I see some daylight movement, no use hunting vampires.

    Hunted last evening after work. Thought it was going to be a great hunt with the cold front that came thru mixed with rising moon. Saw nothing. Dad was observing from a distance a small property we hunt also and saw nothing. Kinda weird 'cause like Mudshark said I have been seeing bucks on their feet also during the day as I drive all day (home health occupational therapist). Everything now mostly packed up for trip back to West Central IL this coming Saturday. Just gotta get thru the next 3 days of work mixed with taking the kiddos trick or treating on Friday night.

    I've been driving around for work all week and haven't seen a thing. There's been does in my front field/yard tho. It's gotten a bit colder here 28f but suppose to be 19f next week. I'm suppose to take the whole week off next week but the long range forecast for the week following next is 10f. Going to pull cards tomorrow and make up my mind.

    I pulled a card and saw a real nice 8 pt at a scrape . He was at the scrape at 1130 pm.last night. I didnt see him this morning. I did have a deer in the dark at 25 yards. I could hear her, I couldn't see her. I put the bino's up in the area I could hear her. I saw her thru the bino's . She didnt stay around long. GETTING CLOSER. I can feel it is going to happen soon.

    It's 9f this morning. Brrrr. Just sipping a coffee getting ready for the hunt. This is the first day of my week long hunt. I pulled my cam cards 2 days ago and the big buck I've been following is nowhere to be found. I've been bummed about it but there's other deer around. I'm very blessed to be able to hunt at this time of year for a week.
