    Well, I got up and thunder storms were on top of us. I went back to bed. I am going to go out this afternoon in hopes of another doe or a buck comes by. I am going to stop at the store to get some Tinks 69 so we will see what happens. I will flop my memory cards after tonights hunt so lets cross our fingers.

    I'm out this afternoon. I was a little disappointed while reviewing SD card in the stand. No bucks. Had several pictures of the girls and it looks like they prefer afternoons currently.

    Well, I have got down early! I was starting to get a little dizzy from swaying in my tree with 25 to 50 mile per hour winds. Will be back out tomorrow afternoon.

    Didn’t hunt this afternoon, checked cameras and a couple stands. The next couple of weeks get busy for us, as we have several friends coming in to hunt.

    I will be making a move on this deer tomorrow night. Wind is right and he was up and about in shooting light this past week.

    Out this morning. It's a cool crisp morning about 45 light SE wind. Had one trot behind me grunting before daylight. Pretty sure it was a buck just couldn't see how big it was.[​IMG]

    checked a couple cams on way to a meeting. I didn't hunt Sat PM bc the winds were 30mph... nasty out... of course, one stand had a small buck under it at 4:45pm and another 2 does with the 8 i'm after soon there after but after dark. Soon they will start slipping up.
    I have 3 bucks in one spot mostly nocturnal, but not far after dark some nights. The little one was the first daylight pic in that spot this year so far.

    Got out this afternoon. Only saw one before daybreak this morning. Made a trip to bass pro to get a scope, took my wife and youngest granddaughter along, fed them lunch and took them to Walmart. Hot and windy this afternoon.

    Just got back in and saw three deer. I know one was a buck in the field but not sure what one since it was so dark out. I will be out every night this week except for Halloween since I will be going out with the grand baby trick or treating. I thinking of going as Paw Paw Smurf. LOL

    No luck this evening. My son saw a good buck in my back yard when he dropped off his little girl at 5:30 this morning. Hunting every day with exception of Wednesday afternoon. Youth rifle hunt this weekend. My son and I are taking his oldest two.

    It is so hard to make that choice of duck hunt or bow hunt! Wood ducks are my favorite and I have never shot one yet!

    Good luck out there Dawg. Drop a nice buck and take plenty of time for ducks after :)
    Never don’t birds besides grouse and some goose. Maybe next year will give it another try if my field gets replanted will be tons of geese coming through
