    Deer will come in a browse on the tender branches. They figure out quickly what went on. In the long run, the thinner canopy will allow for more sunlight to make it to the ground = more cover and more food for deer.

    Been a slow afternoon as usual. Did have a group of hens out feeding for awhile. One of them was bearded so I hope to see her again this spring.

    Farmer just drove around the field and sprayed some nasty chemical. No idea what they would spray on cut corn. I could smoke a cigar and grow a tail on the ground I don't think the deer would smell me. This stuff is nasty. So much for scent control tonight.

    I still like that field.

    The one flat that I hunt has a small rising hill in front of me, a flat trail then another gradual hillside to thr front right of me. Behind me across a small shallow creek is a ridge probably 100 ft tall and pretty long.

    OnX hunt has a better topo than what zi find elsewhere, I'll have to get a screen capture

    I like my climber for areas like that, higher is sometime better.

    Just shot a public land buck. The shot was a bit back but should still be good.

    He ran about 40 yards and stood there for about 2 minutes wiggling his tail.

    Last I saw he staggered a bit but I didn't see him go down.

    Gonna give him a little time.

    He's not huge. Maybe 100" if I'm lucky, bit I'll be thrilled with him.
