    I feel your guys pain! It was 81 here today & suppose to be in the 70's the rest of the week. May have to shoot some pheasants this weekend instead of bowhunt. :-(

    Ended up getting the day off tomorrow so planning on heading to my "far" spot for a morning hunt.

    I think I'll go out in the morning even though it'll be 50-60 degrees.

    Same plan here. I'm gonna give it another half hour but so far all I've seen is a coyote. Will probably sit again tonight although it seems pointless until this weather cools down.

    Saw 3 shooter bucks today. They were 4x4, 5x5, and 5x6. Busted the biggest one while walking in. It wasn't spooked horribly just didn't like what it was hearing. The other two got scared by some trespassers and their dog. Deer ran by and about ten minutes later two guys come stroll down a trail, one saying how great this area is and how he has all these stands set up (our stands). So I wait and watch them till they are five yards or so from the base of my tree. Then I whistle and the guy that was bragging says "Oh Sh**" then he says sorry and they both walk back where they came from. The two bucks they spooked up would likely have fed by me, as deer bedded there usually walk by the stand I was in.

    Did you take their picture and show the game warden? Is this by Lincoln?

    Could have taken a video too. Personally I would have been tempted to sh**t at them or something but with it not being your property you never know. Are there trail cams up?

    We had to stop setting up cams because they keep getting stole by what we think is the farmers kid. He damn near cut the trees down to get the cameras off of them.
