    I had one deer sighting early this morning and that was it, strangely quiet today.
    Tomorrow looks like storms in the morning, and some scattered rain throughout the day.
    Yep, I'll be hunting

    Exactly, deer are tolerant of farm equipment. Hell, old farm trucks on a daily routine don't even make them lift their head anymore, send a chevy 1500 in place of that old Dodge and watch them scatter though.

    Juat have to figure out what role that field would play in their routine, and what would they have to do if it wasn't accessible. Go around it, stage up on the edges of it or hit up another area.

    Well 2 minutes before sundown. This fella came 20 yards broadside and the GF made a great shot. This is her 2nd deer ever and 1st with the crossbow.
    It was the only deer we seen all day. She’s happy, I’m happy.

    Well guys hate to say it but I don't think that deer is dead. We literally followed blood for a mile and he never bedded down or looked like he stopped. I'm at a loss here. Found some lung blood so i think in only got 1 lung. Found a little frothy bubbly spots on 2 leaves.

    Unfortunately illegal in Iowa but I truly believe he's still alive.
