    Great morning to be out. Lots of deer moving. Used the wind to scout a little and found some fresh scrapes. Going to sit close with my little buddy tonight and hopefully see them moving early.

    Home after scouting. I found a good looking spot in corner between the edge of a slough and woods. Lots acorns dropping but not a lot of feed sign. I found two scrapes with 50 yards of each other and I think I bumped the buck that made them from his bed in the edge of the slough about 75 yards from the scrapes. I just saw a glimspe of deer leg vanishing into the cane grass. No blowing even though he was down wind, just quietly slipped out when I got to about 30 yards. Scrapes were right by two trails coming out of the head high cane grass in the slough.

    If I hunt this spot, it is going to be an afternoon sit with a south wind at the end of October or first week of November. Based upon the water lines on the trees, that spot will be under water when the slough is flooded for duck season.

    Hell yea Tony, congrats!

    I am all set up. Walked up on a 4 point on my walk in and also bumped some other unknowns. A lot less thicker then I anticipated back here. After I broke through the first 100 yds it cleared up nicely sporadic white oaks behind me… we shall see. 130” plus or nothing for me until late season.

    It’s a beautiful day too, therapeutic. Wind, leaves falling, no sweat, light hoodie. I don’t care what happens.

    In the stand, gale-force winds it seems. Sprayed some buck bomb on my way in, I think the wind carried it to the next county. Barely clinging to the tree but here goes nothing.

    Found some great sign walking. Been seeing lots of deer while walking in. Found a oak on a creek dropping acorns and deer tracks everywhere!

    Good luck guys and gals
