    Good morning folks! 10 day vacation officially starts now. Not anticipating much but dropping temperatures and November 1 makes me think… Hey! I think I’m gonna go deer hunting!

    Good luck everybody and stay safe! You’re gonna have to put up with an awful lot of me over the next 10 days… I apologize in advance

    Wish I was out there with you all but I'm here at work. Saturday afternoon/evening I'll be out in the stand. Good luck to everyone today!

    Beautiful morning. 60, very light wind. It's crunchy though, the deer will probably hear me from 200yds away. Good luck everyone. It's November!

    Had one deer blow out on the way in. Probably a Buck, hopefully not a big one. All tied in. Waiting on 0700.
    NJ always amazes me in the amount of light pollution. Even though it's a new moon, I could see perfectly fine all the way in. In VT I can't walk 10ft on a moonless night without bumping into something or tripping over a log.

    11/1 and it’s 65 degrees at first light… warmer than it was for the MD opener on 9/6. Temp drop is coming overnight, I have my daughters 2nd birthday party Saturday so won’t be in a tree for the front but will get out Sunday afternoon in MD, high yesterday was 85, today 78, tomorrow and Sunday it’s 60. Have a good feeling a lot of deer are going to fall this weekend. I’m on my last sit of this permit hunt, have until 9am to get it done, good luck out there guys!!!

    Just parked, have to get dressed and heading to the stand. Haven’t been here in almost 2 weeks so I’m hoping for the best. Good luck November 1 AM shift!

    10 minutes to legal light… probably going to be a bit longer till I can ethically shoot, light drizzle with cloud cover. Already had a small spike come through at 17 yards, too dark to see it but heard him come through and the cell cam picked him up

    It’s cold. Just got to the land. Get dressed and head in. Going to be a loud walk in with this crunchy snow.

    Just climbed in the stand. I'm in almost an hour before light but with all the activity that's been happening in this spot I wanted to be early. Good luck all, sweet November is here!

    At the base of my tree cooling off. Think of a time where you thought it was the loudest you’ve ever been getting to the stand… then multiply that by 10. That was bad. Anything in the area is not in the area anymore.

    Frozen snow on top of frozen swamp grass and frozen reeds.

    At least I’m in early.

    Brought the antlers with me to do some rattling but I’m not sure the deer will hear me with the wind. The trees are groaning. Might move to a lower area around 930. Good luck.
