    I really hope there is but the farmer isn't a big hunter so I know how it goes sometimes. lol people say they saw a giant and its really just a 100 inch eight point. lol He said he for sure seen one tho, I asked him probably 3 different times yesterday during our conversation.

    I've not made it out, too warm and decided just to get some work done. Plus Monday night had jv football game my twin grandsons play on. Might have to start going to Fri. night varsity games they have a great team this year, usually 40-0 at half time where my freshmen grandsons get in to play the second half.

    Suppose to cool down this weekend, I'll be out then.

    I haven't been out. Had a family emergency the last few days to take care of. Everything is OK as of now and I'm back home now.

    Hope to get back to hunting in a day or 2. I haven't been out since last Friday. Weather really cooled off here and feels like fall all ready. Looking forward to getting back after it.

    My maybe shooter 9 point has been super regular the past few days. He's on the same cam around 8 and 5 every day. Keep it up big boy...

    I’m heading out tomorrow for another weekend in a stand. Hopefully a tad cooler and more productive than last weekend.

    I have a doctors appointment in the morning and trying to decide if I should go to work or hunt. They are calling for rain all weekend, so might not get much hunting in. I've only worked for a day and half this week and the responsible thing would be work, but I'm over that! Haha

    Got this buck on the property. Wish he would have turned and gave me a better look lol.

    My other property, almost all bucks have disappeared which is usual. Have 2 bucks that make a appearance once a week. IMG_0130.JPG IMG_0129.JPG IMG_0131.JPG

    So Friday afternoon went out and saw 4 deer. Two does with a fawn each. Shot right over the top of the lead doe. Just couldn’t get myself settled. Slept in on Saturday and headed back out for the afternoon. This doe circled the stand once and gave a quartering away shot. Hit back and high but because of the angle of the shot I was able to hit some vitals. We tracked for a while and reviewed video. Decided to back out and give her some more time, which was the right move. Ended up finding blood again and found her piled up not too far from where we quit tracking the first time.

    Nice! Think she was dead on your first track?

    I always have a problem with pushing it to soon. No patience when I have a wounded deer.

    Same. I think she was dead on the first track. Rigor was starting to set it once we found her but still think we made the right move.
