The doe herd probably sent you their oldest member as a last sacrifice. Please Little Chief let us live in peace.
3 doe. 1 dawn. 1 button buck. 8 pointer. Turkey. I’ve had 2 hunts on 2 different properties this season that have been an absolute blast! I’m worn out.
On my way out I saw a flash of white through the woods and hurt sticks breaking and all kind of commotion I thought it was a deer but then I saw blue. It was a lady running through the woods. I yelled out Hunter here, are you OK ma’am? She said yes I’m fine and kept running. Pretty odd, not the oddest thing I’ve seen in the woods though. A few minutes later I see more white coming down the cart road towards me. I stop what I’m doing and ask the guy, hey what is going on what are you guys doing? You do know that it is the middle of hunting season right? And there are people out in the woods right now with weapons hunting and you’re wearing white with not a trace of blaze orange. The guy looked at me and shock and said really they didn’t tell us that. He said they were doing some type of land navigation race. I asked him where they were based out of or where they started. Get back to my jeep made a phone call to the game warden who has helped me out in the past. He could not believe it. He said he was throwing his lights and sirens on and getting there as fast as he could. Good luck to anyone else who is still out! I will follow along while heavily intoxicated this afternoon/evening!
Well the chit show continued , did not see anything, I was rain on, not terrible but a little wet. As I was packing up I heard something , turned and looked and a fawn is running away. I said oh geez out loud and the 2 nd fawn runs the same way. I usually get down at 1100 today I decided to climb down at 1045. I need to reset today. I'm sure if I would have waited I would have seen momma. I'm an idiot.
11:06 let's effing go!!!!! Was up too late last night and woke up at 6:20, said "Eff it, Let's GO back to sleep."
I use an app called Hunting Calendar. I believe that’s the name of it. There are quite a few of them out there. I have Drury DeerCast also, but they don’t take the moon phase into account at all. When Hunting Calendar and DeerCast both say it’s a good time to hunt, it’s definitely time to hunt, and mid-day today is one of those times. Starting right about now here.
Some good person found an arrow I launched into orbit last week and put it on the target at the public range. Awesome.
I'm showered and about to head out the door. Same plan I wad thinking but think I mat set up with mt back to the water, have to see what cover and shooting lanes look like. Found a bunch of stuff last night, all my keys for trail cams and another cable lock so have all 3 trail cams with. Will hang sramd and them maybe cameras. Have to see how its feeling. Should be in a tree by 1pm. Havd to stop and grab a couple small padlocks and a pack of broadheads.
Thanks everyone for the congrats I truly appreciate it. I wanted to get that deer dragged out and off to the butcher. I stopped to talk to the landowner then I noticed a plethora of tics so rushed home and got changed. Good luck this evening whoever is going out. I think I’ll be in a tree in the am. Thanks again.

Going rogue, heading to a spot in the city where some good bucks were hanging in the Summer, they moved off where I been seeing em but they use the adjacent property. I killed there two years ago, big buck or bust. Here’s the 8 I’m looking to kill.
