    Ugh them trees in the background are all I see. Hope this big cold front moving through gets them leaves falling quick.

    Seeing a lot of areas being mentioned for patchy frost. Need to see freeze warnings and mentions of "this will likely end the growing season" before November.

    I am betting we will see upwards of 10 deer posted in here this weekend. It's your turn now!

    Yea will be nice to see them starting to change. Hopefully this weekend will getting them goin. Just judging off what the yard is doin, it was stunting week or so ago when got cool but now with warm weather and rain its snapped out of that. Will be nice walking in this weekend and not being covered in sweat.

    leaves are falling as soon as they change colors here. weird! not very many acorns dropping anymore. looking like the deer will have to travel more to feed. I was hoping we were going to have a good mast this year but I guess not.

    Walnuts are dropping leaves and sycamores are changing colors, but everything else is green here in Cincinnati.

    Just turning daylight now I have been sitting here at 30 minutes but on my way in I didn't use my flash light and tripped into a mud puddle from the property owner making a pond. My hole left side is covered with mud.

    Good cover scent thou??????????

    Double check your bow to make sure there is no damage from your fall Mud... I would even draw it to make sure cables won't go off track.. Better safe than sorry!

    Could have shot a nice doe just now, if this county would let me have a doe tag. Cool wet morning here. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Good advice!

    I took a spectacular fall on my bow while elk hunting. Didn't foul the cables, but did slam the rest. I was glad I checked it...and fixed it.

Gonna be 70 today but worth a shot. Really have no idea what’s going on up here. Haven’t been here for a month. Will check the camera on the way out. Does and Bear we’re moving through during the daylight. Good luck whosever out!
