    Didn't fall asleep until after midnight last night, regardleas am not out.

    Turns out I saved myself embarassment and a 90 mile round trip. Had I grabbed everything by the door and headed out I wpupd have gotten there and realized all my blaze orange was not in the truck. Normally put it in the gun caae so its always with the gun, I didn't have it with either until I decided which gun I was going to use. In last nights exvitement I forgot all about it.

    That would have really sucked. How’s your wrist?

    When I use to hunt Northern Missouri and pressure got bad I hunted the big brushy ditches. Specifically the bends where I could see both ways.

    In the soft cast it feels fine. Without it still have soreness/stiffness that limits range of motion. Probably pushing it being less than 3 weeks from happening. Lost the advantage of opening day firearm though.

    Pretty crazy how fast things change on my property after the gun season/rut. Haven't had a single deer on camera in 2 days. Not even a fawn.

    Just got to a spot that is flat with hundreds of blow downs. So went up into it to look for beds. Definitely a winter bedding area. Found a shed right away. 20251121_102347.jpg

    I'll be heading in for an evening hunt shortly. Haven't seen a deer in my last three sits. It can only get better.

    Just 2 ruff looking pit bull mix dogs just run up on me out here. Wasn't sure how that was going to go. They came towards me and one growled and the other did a huff/bark. I stood my ground and moved towards them. Luckily i must have been the bigger predator today. They turned and ran away. Both dogs well over 100 lbs. That could've turned ugly.

    Finding lots of rubs everywhere. Some are bigger and look as it could be mature buck. Found some fresh scrapes, but all around a creek on the bends in it. Sure its a big travel corridor. Just not very thick around it and not something i see a buck traveling in day light. Most like will just keep scouting this place. And maybe not hunt. Unless i find something that tells me to hunt. Got another 100 acre section to check now.
