    I really feel bad for all you guys complaining about sitting in a tree stand not seeing anything when you could be stuck at work... even though I have my buck, I’d still rather be hunting then going back and forth on the rails...

    Same thing happened to our property, deer went nocturnal for a few days, then they actually started to use the logging roads as trails

    You're right in my neck of the woods. I live in Marion but hunt near Columbia City.

    Is it mandatory that if you hunt with a crossgun you have to stalk through the woods like Elmer fudd? Or do crossgunners think they have a high power rifle? Every crossgunner ive seen walk through looks like they have no clue what they are doing. Annoying!

    The closer I get to vacation, the more humans are getting on my nerves. Short day tomorrow and I'm out.
    Forecast is looking good, not too warm or too cold!
    My usual partner is out this year so I'm flying solo for 8 days, then go right into gun season with my dad.
    I'm gonna hunt like a SOB!

    It might. They all seem to take that differently.

    I am just trying to figure out where all my does went. Coming into the fall I had a ton of them around now I have been hunting since Saturday and haven't seen a single one.

    I put them in a baggy before I head out (usually turns into snack time too)

    I’ve been asking myself that the past few days. I had 5-6 does daily at this stand and killed my doe from this stand but since Friday afternoon not a single doe. That’s the main reason I’ve been in this stand hoping the bucks would be following. Just don’t understand.
