    All setup, little later than I prefer, but it’s just about legal shooting light. Good luck everyone!

    Enough light to get the phone out. 41 and cloudy this morning . Had a single deer in the food plot at 0430, cell cans are good for something. Waited till 0515 to start heading out. Was a Doe or BB. Got in clean. Waiting on any hungry morning Bucks. Heard turkeys flapping on the walk in. Turkeys, bear and coyotes are also on the menu.

    I'm in waiting on day light. Hunting the same spot as yesterday morning but I'm here 2 hours earlier. Good luck.

    Up in the stand with about 30 minutes before light. Deer activity is really starting to pick up on the cams for about the last 3-4 days. Hopefully it continues. Good luck everyone, be safe!

    Chilly this morning, low 40s. Some movement downwind of me before light, that chunk of woods is just starting to get light, sounded like it may have moved it my overgrown field at my 9.

    Apparently I have an owl in an adjacent tree. Startled me just after getting in the stand.

    Been in since an hour before light. Three layers and brought hot coffee. Wind in face the whole way. Tried a little rattling just at day break when I could see. Rained most of the night and Winds are still brisk. It's the only sound, not a single bird or chipper/squirrel .

    My turkeys must have gone elsewhere. Lots of crows, bluejays and song birds.

    Just had 3 does walk right underneath me. They literally stopped and sniffed my tow line. Good way to start the morning

    Someone kid just got a shot. Down hill from me. All the camps were full this long youth weekend. There goes another across the valley. They're moving wind is a stiff SW. I'm between neighbor NE facing hill and my EW gully. Hoping they use the gully, rodents are now awake.

    I no sooner typed that and she did exactly that but from wrong side..directly down wind and knew something was up. Went right to the gully trotting at 30 yrds. Good thing she had twins..
