    I'm toast. Was up in some nice stuff, had some sticks cracking, but **** wind. Dropped 800 ft, now just about 1.5 more miles out...

    All set up for the evening sit.

    I did go back to the same tree but I went another six feet up to 30’, turned 90 degrees to the left so deer stop showing up behind me and also stuck some leafy branches in my climber padding to brush it in a bit.

    Oh, and I do have an arrow nocked.

    If these pics post in order they should show left view, front view and right view now.

    The left view, between the small white oak and the rock at the base of the down tree is where I first spotted the buck this morning.

    He fed through the front view and I was about to draw my unloaded bow on him in the right view.

    As you can see, could be anywhere and it’s kinda hard to scout north or south of me.

    I do know he was traveling SSE this morning when I saw him, but he did a circle around me like he was going to head west. Then he hit my walk in trail. When he spooked he kept going SSE.

    The GPS on this shows me a little farther south than I actually am.

    1 hour remaining in NJ, nothing but squirrels. That can change in a hot minute though.

    Curious, is there a reason you don't leave an arrow nocked when you leave bow overnight?

    It may be technically illegal here, but I nock an arrow as soon as I get sat down. Could be anywhere from 40 minutes to 5 minutes before legal shooting time. If I ever leave it overnight I'll leave one nocked.

    I usually do but for some reason, which totally escapes me, last night I didn’t.

    Like I said, it was stupid.

    Well back at it in an Indiana reduction zone hunt for an antlerless. Corner of a wood lot made up of a lot of oaks (whites not producing big tho this year sadly, red yes tho), surrounded by corn and a poor man's cereal rye/oat plot as well.

    Cold front hitting, so should hear or see something.

    The stinkin’ wind here can’t make up it’s mind whether it wants to blow out of the south or the north.

    I’ll just point the Ozonics straight down and be done with it.

    Hoping when my life slows down a bit in the next few years that I can be close to a state with September whitetails to chase!

    Had an exciting morning elk hunt. We hunted a steep ridge thick with timber right behind our camp. It stays very cool in the draw we camp in and we have thought that the thick timber is likely an elk bedding area during the day.
    We knew of a bull up at the top end of the ridge and had him in mind.
    View of the top.

    We hiked right from camp and followed an old logging road about a mile to get to where we thought the bull might be, and then hiked up into the timber.
    Story interrupted...I’m up in my tree stand and just had a bull bugle.
