    Hope you’re all having a good day out there.
    Today’s ladder stand a few finishing details and tomorrow a climber! Can’t wait.

    No more blood. Non lethal hit or arrow is still in him. Confidence is low.

    What does the blood look like? Him dropping/falling like he did may indicate shoulder hit?

    100-110” came to a few blind grunts. Very tempted. Going to give it to 11 then regroup for afternoon sit if the loggers took the day off?

    Enough of a consistent track direction and/or potential water source in direction of travel?

    Does the terrain dictate travel direction at all?

    Just had a spike go by at 30yds. I expected more this morning, I thought the weather was perfect for seeing lots of deer movement. I guess what I think and they think are 2 completely different things.

    Nothing so far this AM in WI, my buddy saw a fork horn at about 730 but nothing since. We had a nice 10pt on cam at 3am, cruising, and a 2.5yo 8 shortly after that.

    Got to run into town for propane and then going to sit a different stand in the PM, the wind is awful for this spot.

    I'm out. For the last half hour I had small six just hanging out in some thick stuff about 30yds from me. Definitely an eventful morning with 4 does and 5 bucks seen but I wish the bucks would have been bigger

    You might try going back and find the trail he walked in on before you shot him. Back track him if you can. Many times big ones will loop back from where they came.

    4 eyes are better than 2… I’ve found blood twice this fall for my buddy who missed it.

    I'm out of the ground blind and up in a tree for the afternoon. Rain stopped as I walked in so I'm hoping for movement soon - Good luck all this afternoon
