    All set up for the evening sweating like crazy, now that I’m set up there’s actually a decent breeze and it doesn’t feel terrible but that walk in was brutal!!! In the saddle 12 yards from where he was standing in shooting light last night IMG_1079.JPG

    I am in a tree. It’s hot. Same tree I shot my buck out of last year. I did not scout or trim lanes at all. All my cameras are dead and have been since the spring. I have one that is still on and I have several good bucks on it. I got beans in front of me, corn/bedding to my left, bedding behind, bedding to the right. I am likely surrounded by deer. Just waiting for sunset. [​IMG]

    Wind is picking up from the storms that are coming in after dark. Sun is getting lower and the temp is coming down slightly. Dad saw 1 doe so far. Anytime now on is when they have been on camera!

    No shots fired for me. Ran into a lot of hunter pre season sign. Heavy used trail, ladder sticks. Then I pushed past it about 50 yards to were I wanted to be. After I setup, I could see a camera about 40 yards down the creek. About 1 hour before dark had 2 does coming in fast. They got to about 10 feet from that camera and locked up. Then proceeded to stomp and blow for 5 minutes. One did get to about 25 yards, but to thick for a shot. Also had a big doe with 2 fawn coming at the same time from behind me. They locked up because the doe blowing. They all turned and went back the way they came. I was close to getting a shot.

    Did get to see a snake eat a frog, that was neat! 20230908_165350.jpg
