    Pitter patter, as close to the big acorn tree that’s actually producing acorns, already seen two doe and small buck.
    Really wanted to be up further, but the wind won’t work if they cross the field

    All cameras checked with new SD cards and new batteries. Moved all of them off field edges and into the property/pre rut/rut areas. Thankfully didn’t have to use the rifle on yogi.

    Found a few decent scrapes but no rubs.

    First time I’ve actually walked into the woods/property since spring. Why does a fall 83 degree blue bird sky day makes it feel like 100 degrees sometimes. I was soaked.

    Figure I take the new stand and hunt the corner of the beans or corn next week when it finally cools down. Almost a 20 degree drop on Tuesday.

    Good luck to whoever is getting out tonight! Time for a cold beer.

    Slow sit, but I did see a decent buck. He got up out of his bed about 80 yards away. This was about 30 minutes before dark. He just feeds on vegetation til dark. Only walked maybe 20 yards in that time. Very killable, but not what im looking for. About 100 inch 7 pt. Nice and tall with a chocolate rack.

    Just got done liking 3 pages of post, sorry if you had a crappy hunt to something and I liked it. I just got back from a 6hr pig roast. You can only imagine.

    I get zero service in many areas that I hunt. I did not see anything yesterday evening. Was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet. I do really enjoy 1 sticking as well. Sat on a nice pinch on a ridge. 20240928_142404.jpeg 20240928_142359.jpeg 20240928_142417.jpeg

    I’m out doing some scouting. You’ve got to keep your eyes open around here.

    I decided not to interrupt his lunch.
