    It's that time of year, nothing beats a hot cup of soup and a sandwich while sitting in a cold stand. Good luck to anyone hunting today. Let's keep the deer movement reporting going. I will be checking a couple cams this morning on my way in, one close to a corn field that just got cut and one I set up on a mock scrape.

    Good luck Wes, I'm hitting the road soon to get to the property. I really need to get a something to take soup out in, that sounds really good.

    Something my dad always did when we rifle hunted together, so it has carried over to me. He also took a second thermos with hot chocolate mixed with peppermint schnapps. I always wondered why he never would let me drink any when I was younger.

    I'm up the tree and all set up. Feels good to be back in the stand. It's windy but at least it's blowing in the right direction. Hoping I can get a doe down. Good luck everyone.

    Checked 2 cams, only had a few does hit the mock scrape I made last week, but I did have either splitter or Tiney show up on one of my other cams, can't tell which it is on my camera but should be able to tell when I look at it on my computer at home. In the 40s right now, winds gusting 20-25, but in a decent direction. Ready for this all day adventure to begin. Saw a bright shooting star on my way here, and a couple good tunes came on the radio, maybe that is signs of a good day in the making. Good luck everyone, be safe and shoot straight.

    Ok so I just had a decent 8 point come running through the woods he kept on trucking, but now I got a smaller 8 chasing a 4-6 in circles around my stand. Can I post videos from my phone on here?

    Currently 25°.

    Sounds like there's a civil war reenactment going on but nope, just the PA muzzleloader season.

    Windy as heck in Bureau County,IL. Sitting at the bottom of the valley where I feel a slight breeze. Tops of the trees are moving all around. Hoping the deer move thru here! Good luck all!
