    It's legal on private land. Not on public land. Here's another one of my spots and this one might be getting the nod on opening day. Mr 6 still showing up both morning and evening in legal light. 20200924_213250.jpg 20200924_213224.jpg 20200924_213127.jpg 20200924_164130.jpg 20200924_155701.jpg 20200924_164010.jpg

    I had no doubt it was legal for you. Just never living where baiting is legal, it still gives me pause when I see it. I have no argument with it honestly.

    Shawn, is Mr 6 getting a pass or is he for sure a green light if he comes in? Beautiful deer

    Tomorrow morning should be fun, it’s been raining for two days straight and is suppose to stop tonight. I think the deer will move good tomorrow despite it being a little warm than I want to. I’m so torn on sitting all day and waiting for the 8 I’m after or taking a doe if the opportunity rises. The 8 comes through in daylight in the evenings but it is every so often.

    I don’t want to shoot a doe and mess that spot up for the rest of the week, but I also am not a huge believer that if you shoot a deer it ruins a spot for a week or whatever. As long as you don’t trample the woods down tracking it and don’t gut it near your hunting spot.

    Mr 6 is a definite shooter. I have 3 years of history with him and I'm positive he's a minimum of 5.5 years old. He could be 6.5. I know I have bigger scoring bucks but this 6 point is a true stud. I bet he's close to 300 pounds as well. He will definitely be my heaviest deer I've ever killed. He's coming into that one stand right around 7:30 every morning. That is where I will be. Last year on opening day he was at that stand at 8 am, but I was a couple 100 yards away taking a huge doe that morning.

    I've gutted deer near my stand and I went and sat that same stand a few hours later and some deer walked past the gut pile and even licked it. Don't think it affects them at all.

    Well guys! Mr 6 has been making his presence known quite a bit at that one stand site. So I'll be at that stand in the morning. Even if I don't see him, there are a lot of does that frequent this stand as well. So, I'm really looking to put some points on the board tomorrow, one way or the other.

    Last post was just kidding around. Man if I thought a good one was around I'd be more inclined, but my spots and cams are all just ghost town right now. Gonna ask permission on another close by spot tomorrow. Nothing but hardwoods and oaks.

    Overcast, high 60s all day. Has been raining for two days straight. Won’t pull an all day tomorrow or Sunday. Next week conditions are way better.

    Clothes are ready, bow ready. Alarm set.

    I’ll be setting a bunch of stands tomorrow on three of the farms I hunt with hopes of arrowing a slick head come next Thursday. The better half is taking the boys to her parents so I have the day to myself to get things done for season. Every year I say I’m gonna get everything done early but it never seems to happen.
