    Well started breaking down my camera arm and packing up and was thinking to myself, wonder what will happen if deer come out? Well sure enough four does came out followed by a small buck while I stood there with the base on my hand and the arm laid across the seat. Got everything put up without getting busted but didn't get any shot either. Pretty funny end to a good afternoon in the woods. All together 10-15 does and 3 bucks. No big bucks though

    My 13 year old son Justin is hunting by himself today. I have to work this weekend so he went down with one of the other guys this weekend. I am really hoping to get a text he shot one.

    So far Justin has had a bunch of does and turkeys by him but no bucks. He is going to move soon from the blind in the woods to a blind by the picked corn for the last 2 hours. Hopefully a buck works his way out there.

    Just got all settled in, man its nice out for the end of Nov. Still only looking for a buck but that ship may have sailed, saw a few smaller ones moving last night though and running does around so guess still a chance.

    I've been in for an hour. Saw does ~150 yards out on the power line on my walk in. Also bumped a decent buck as I was walking up the road to get into the woods by my stand. Haven't seen anything since I got in the tree though :(

    So far pretty slow night. Haven't seen anything cept squirrels. Kinda surprising but this is more of a morning stand late season.

    My sit ended by getting down early and walking the gravel road and looking at the power line. Saw 2 good lucking young bucks but too young to shoot. Next year!

    Friend shot a decent buck got about 10 inches of penetration. I believe he hit opposite shoulder from the look of the blood and the arrow snapping off in a field without the deer falling. It's been an hour since shot and we are gearing up to go get our hands on him.

    Got a text from my son, he said it is 15 degrees and really cold this morning. We can only shoot one deer this year in our area and he has been passing doe's because he wants to shoot a buck. This is probably his last trip down there so it sounds like a doe could be in trouble this morning.

    Just got settled in for the afternoon. Lots of squirrels running around. Hope the deer move in.
