    My brother and my nephew are on stand and they are reporting the same thing: Nothing.

    I told them to stay on stand until at least noon. I know deer will move from 10:15 to 12:15. Perhaps not where they are, but they will move while the new moon is overhead.

    I know a lot of folks don't put any stock in lunar phases. I just know what I've seen in the past.

    Good morning over here so far. Seen 8 deer, little bucks cruising, 2 unknowns.
    Passed a chip shot on a young doe, tempting but just too scrawny.
    A spike and forky were chasing a little doe all over the place, could have killed both of them.
    Just waiting on a shooter

    Got a good buck in the thicket where my doe crashed. Through a grunt at him and he turned my way. Lost for now. But he is there

    Well thank you all! Fun hunt as usual. Just pulled into my driveway. Long drag from swamp to field. I stashed the buck along the field. Had about 500 yards from there to my truck. I brought a cart today, so went back and got that and did the whole trip out and back again. Thing is the drag doesn't bother me anymore, feel very rewarding and is just part of the hunt. Now to hang him and decide if I will break him down today and get him in the cooler. He had a huge head and body on him, I was impressed with the size of him!

    Good luck to everyone today! 20231112_090850.jpg

    Got another buck on Missouri rifle opener for the cherry on top. Heading back to New Mexico now with plenty of Missouri deer meat and 2 heads to boil for euro mounts. Not a bad trip
