    Went out to check fields tonight and found about a whole lot of pumpkins and gourds growing LOL

    I planted soybeans and grew pumpkins. I must really have a green thumb 1000010335.jpg

    Even though it's a little warm with a forecasted high of 83 @ 4pm, I have a good feeling about this afternoons hunt. Maybe it will be Big Bertha!

    Saw 2 little ones and a bigger doe. Got busted before they even got to me when I happened to turn and look over my shoulder the older doe must have picked me off. They were walking in a creek bed. I didn't even see them til she blew and took off. At last light another fawn came in and kept me locked down at the stand for a bit.

    I made it out this morning but didnt see anything but does & fawns and a flock of turkeys at 25 yards. I hunt a restricted county where we cant shoot does until Nov 1st so I had to pass on the doe this morning. I did get a pic of this doe with twins on the way out this morning.

    Harvested soybeans last night and jumped a few bedded does up. It's in the upper 80s most of the week. I really dont think I'll even attempt hunting for a few weeks. 1000010486.jpg

    If a hog shows he is also going to the cooler.

    Who's all hunting this weekend. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be out Saturday afternoon/evening in the heat and if I don't connect with anything I should be in the stand Sunday morning as well. It could be in the upper 40's Sunday morning. Then my next time out will be right after the temps finally drop a little. I'll be out this coming Thursday evening and Friday morning. 1000005345.jpg

    My Texas hunt is going well so far. Will be hunting tomorrow also. I let a nice 9 point go this morning. I had him at 20 yards. We have young boy hunting with us and we put him in that stand this afternoon. Hopefully he will get him. Also had some young bucks fighting around me. I had video of that but it doesn’t look this forum allows us to upload video anymore. Good luck to anyone hunting this weekend !
