    Out with the 450 today. Will have to be a giant and just doesn't seem like any more of those here this year, but it's gun season in Iowa and you never know what might get pushed around.

    Congratulations on the 50th Jim.

    I went out last night and saw 2. I really needed the wind out of the sw instead of west today....so not out this morning.

    I just had a 5 point and a 6 point come in chasing a doe. She headed towards the swamp. Where’s the big boys?

    God I wish.

    Lol, there are a lot of big deer, but the last couple years with EHD has been brutal to our herds.

    You continue to see some rutting activity, which surprises me, because as I mentioned before, the rut dies in my woods around the middle of November, and we're both in Pa. Your persistence is going to pay off!

    Good luck if you are out this weekend! I am at a wrestling tournament all day and other fanily stuff tomorrow. Thursday night, my oldest started off his high school wrestling career with a win by pin. Hopefully, he gets one or two more today.

    Okay, that explains a lot. I wasn't aware of that.

    Last couple of years have been very hard on Iowa Deer numbers, and EHD has certainly seemed to be harder on mature bucks. Lost all age structure in 2020, finally had it back and then got hit again this year. Very few mature deer in my area. Last year they walked along a 3 mile stretch of river a mile north of me and counted 80 dead deer. Awful.

    IMG_9149.jpeg IMG_1553.jpeg Been MIA for a bit but have been hunting with my nephew as much as possible. Opening day of muzz season and n MI was yesterday and we made it happen.

    This is Landon’s first buck which made it very, very bittersweet with his dad’s passing in October. It’s been nothing short of a privilege to hunt with this young man this year. We’ll be back at it Sunday and Monday to go after another buck or big ole doe.
