    My cams in VT were active 0100-0430. Does and small Bucks. The big boys are still hiding.

    In NJ I have Doe and small Bucks at last light and then throughout the night. One or two small Bucks between 11-1300. No big Bucks there either.

    Been an odd year for sure concerning the Big Bucks.

    I'm trying to get my energy back to make a push during late season. Work is getting in the way with long stretches of 6 and 7 days in a row. I have four cameras sitting out taking inventory until season end. Trying to decide which properties to keep hunting or leave behind. I am still a real newbie around these properties.

    This is really what I need.....

    I'm going out today for the last 2hrs to sit in a blind over the turnip plot. It's very hard to get motivated especially in VT. Still holding out for a good January in NJ.

    I’m back at my truck. Didn’t see a deer.

    I think that’ll do it for this trip. I’ll take it easy the rest of the day and head home first thing tomorrow.

    Home for a week or two probably. I’ll hunt off and on there.

    I’d like to be back here to chase does on either the 3rd quarter moon or the new moon.

    I also have a couple of other places in Arkansas I can hunt but if I go there I have to put up with family. :lol:

    I am not family, does that make me more tolerable? I have been averaging seeing 3-4 does per sit.

    My personal observations have led me to believe there is something to this. Cameras started popping around 13:00.

    On Friday, day after Thanksgiving I saw three, that was the last time I hunted. Not counting youth hunts with my boys, I have hunted six times, seen an average of three to four deer per sit, killed two of the four that came in range.

    Snowing, 25deg, almost no wind, surrounded by turkeys. In the blind hoping the 8pt comes in for apples or turnips. 20231128_155318.jpg 20231128_155310.jpg 20231128_155340.jpg

    Back home in MO after a few days in Iowa. The snow messed up the area I was hunting due to the lack of food.
    In the Banks Blind tonight with my beautiful bride!! If you’re interested in getting a hard sided blind these are one of the best, for sure!!
