    Wimped out on sitting in a tree this afternoon. At least it's a little warmer in the blind looking at a food plot.

    I have been seeing deer around 3:30-4:00 on the field edges the past 3 days while its super cold, so You gotta at least sit the last 3 hours. The afternoon is always easier for me mentally because I know when its dark your done anyway. The morning, I am tempted to quit earlier.

    Heading out Thurs and Fri mornings. I hope the bucks are bad on their feet after being locked down late last week.

    I've not been out all week. I'm assuming the rut is over?

    Idk about over but it's been really slow. Just had a small buck chase a fawn right past my stand. That's the only action I've seen. Cameras are pretty quiet too. Got a doe and a buck down. Would like to get one more before I kick waterfowl into high gear.

    Yeah I've already got a buck and a doe also... I'm duck hunting tomorrow.
    There calling for rain all weekend so the shotgun hunters won't have much fun.

    Had 2 does out this morning but they are getting the pass since rut should be kicking off any day now. Got a new buck that showed up on camera and has moved up to number 1 on hit list

    He is a solid 11 point. Doesn't look like he is that old of a buck either.

    On stand for the evening, trying to make something happen! Buck only for me tonight, on edge of nasty thicket with a perfect wind. Let's see how it plays out!
