    I'm up. I'm on the inside corner of a fresh cut last night, corn field. Little finger of woods with corn on both sides. It all dumps into a huge marsh with deep water. Perfect funnel. Got big tracks and a fresh scrap down the edge. Let's see what happens!

    It actually cut front of the offside front leg because it was forward. It took out her esophagus and arteries.

    She only went 55 yards but it was steep downhill through gnarly brush. I’m surprised I didn’t hear her crash.

    I gun hunt near some old pine plantations that were planted during the Great Depression. Lets just say 100 yr old pine trees are scary as fook! Had one fall right into a tree we used to have a stand in while i was hunting. Dont know if it would have actually hit the stand but that was close enough for me to not hunt in those things anymore

    The doe is cut up and on ice. I’m trying to decide if I want to hunt this evening or take a couple of sits off.

    This dang wind is shifting like crazy, I’m pretty sure he caught a sniff judging by the quick hop away from me he took.
    I had done a little light rattling and he was right in…well inish.

    Wow… just got caught up. Going to be a late start today. Changed cards and batteries in some cameras and helped the father in law get their permanent shack ready for tomorrows gun opener if anyone wants to sit in it…. Door is locked. Keys are inside. Not sure what the plan is outside of kicking in the door or breaking a window.

    Have a very nice 10pt on a scrape 10/31 at 945 am. At least I know he’s in the area.

    Finally up. Found two runways out of bedding toward where he came in this morning. Only 12 feet high.

    Here we go.
