    Officially on vacation as of 0900 this morning. I was one hour from getting off work when a burglary call went out. Guy broke in a house with a small child and stole their car and other expensive electronic items. About 30 minutes after getting on scene I found the bad guy down the street and arrested him. Maybe I'll get some good luck for that catch.

    2016 rut hunt vacation here I come! 2 hours sleep then hitting the woods.

    Glad you caught the guy. You probably felt like giving him a good throat punch! Good luck on the hunt.

    So with all the warm temps does it seem to be keeping action slow out there or is it pretty normal for Halloween?

    That's admirable! Steady rain sucks. Where in Pa was it raining this morning?

    Don't leave unless you have to! Just this Tue I hadn't seen a single deer until 5:00PM (all day hunt), when an 8pt came past me at 10yrds! Too small for my desires, but it shows it can happen ANY time! It's that time to hunt when you're able.

    There's a big one out here but I was thinking about hunting another farm this afternoon that's two hours away that has a buck I've been getting good pics of. But every time i go to stand up the squirrels in the distance start barking at something so I sit back down thinking it might be him. Lol

    ImageUploadedByBowhunting.com Forums1477669542.637448.jpg rut is just almost getting started in central Minnesota, we rattled this guy in at 9 am , with 15 mph winds which I never thought we would get him to come across the road to us, he lined up for a shot from a good buddy of mine and he crashed about 20 yards from my stand . Easy recovery! Haha The rut is coming!

    Im sure there are millions of good cop stories. Media only wants you to hear the bad ones. Just got settled back in. Had to leave to see my sons halloween parade at school. Came back to the stand where i seen that big one a couple days ago. Not sure. wind is exactly opposite this time compared to when i seen him last time. Maybe they will be closer since i am on the downwind side of this slope.

    This afternoon hunt is not starting out so hot. I went to get my atv out and it just makes a loud clicking sound and the check engine light comes on. Hopefully a nice buck walks by to help ease my frustration

    I'd say tc is right on track. I'm changing our battery out this weekend.
