    Congrats Holt! Nice deer. After a very slow day 1, hoping for a little action. A few guys in our group had sightings, but no arrows flew. Good luck guys!

    Just had a spike come through at about 60yds. I blew the call just to get his reaction and he bristled up and turned and came right toward me on a trot. He must be feeling his oats this morning

    Light switch turned on. 6 doe and a decent buck in the last 15 mins. Buck was likely a shooter couldn’t rattle him in too far out and too windy.

    So I've seen 4 or 5 different small bucks cruising around in the last two days. That usually a sign that things are about to start

    Doe and two fawns at first light. Passed a pretty nice buck about 30 minutes later. Think it was the same one I passed last Friday. Finally picking the last corn field yo the East, gotta help I would think.

    Goal for today is not hear or see any coyotes! If the trend continues I'm going to have to skip a deer hunt and teach them some manners. Usually leave them alone until mid December but this has been ridiculous.

    Nothing here yet. I heard a fawn bawling on my walk in, that was it as far as deer? The squirrels aren't doing much either?

    As long as they are not a crazy peta type vegan it’s not bad... dated a girl before my wife that was vegan, but was ok with what ever I ate and never tried to sway me one way or another. She even enjoyed the smell of a steak on the grill. She understood it was food, and she understood the need for hunting... but my guess is she was in the minority of vegans like that...
