    Should be heading out in couple houes. Went and checked cams this morning but they didn't show much. Been trying to figure out where to put up new stand too but haven't had much luck yet figuring that out. Will be sitting over cut corn field so should at least see something.

    Had 3 doe coming in until bigger of three got spooked by something. Don't if wind swirled or what but they turned and went back way they came. Still early and they didn't bolt tho.

    Haven't seen anything, temp dropped but wind is going pretty good. Found 6 rubs all within 20 ft but have not seen any movement.
    Oh well, going to give another 30 then head to house and make deer chili and college football.

    Looks like you guys have been enjoying your times in the stands. It's making me wish I had a later tag. Temps are dropping out here. -

    Just had doe come in but before got clear shot, she stopped and circled around. Think she caught my movement from turning to get ready for shot. Didn't bolt tho

    Well came up with nothing tonight but had a good night in the woods. Ended up seeing about 7 deer I think, one may have been same twice. As I was getting down and making it back to edge of draw was sitting in had a buck feeding out in beans. By the time I crept up to edge of field it was just dark enough couldn't make out his rack very well and forgot binos in truck. Looked to be a 6 or 8 pointer. But really don't know, had decent body size. He was about 55 yards at closest so idk if woulda taken the shot even if it was little lighter out. Either way was nice night in the stand. Probably be back out tomorrow.

    Arrrggghhh.... Well saw a little 6 point, and two does, all hot that same entry/exit point again. They are not running the same routes I've seen from the last few seasons. I think the beans are still allowing them to feel secure in the middle of the field. So, tomorrow morning I'm taking my stool and sitting about 20 yards from that spot, hopefully, I can tag one early. I also took a walk and have pretty much found the rub line, I can only go so far due to property lines, and I have no clue how to really read a rub line. Any input?
