    Holy crap its cold out. with the windchill its about -2, I haven't seen a thing I'm about to head in and come back in a couple hours and see if they are moving mid day. I think they are either doing that or right at last light. From the looks of it I missed the rut or main action at least, it was still going on last weekend but it was during shotgun season. I wanted to sit longer but thats hard with 20mph winds right in your face constantly, that gets to you real fast.

    Cold up here also. I went out with the muzzy Saturday and sat in a tree for 11+ hours with a high of 22. Saw one really nice 10pt and a 3-4 dinks.

    First off Happy Thanksgiving Team 17!

    I went out today and only saw a button buck. He came and left three times and all three times he came to 20 yards. I think he was wanting me to kill him. Let him walk for now! HE HE HE

    Had a good sit this morning and saw 3 bucks. Only one that gave me a shot was a little fork horn. Got all weekend to get it done here in MN

    Shot a buck at last light got poor penetration. Just went out driving around and I'm pretty sure I see my Lumnock sticking straight up. I'm thinking it's still in the deer and the deers on it's side dead. Not sure if I should go in or wait till morning.

    If the lumenok isn't moving, the deer had to be dead right?

    Good luck finding him hopefully he didn't travel far just looking for some more cover and bedded down and died.

    Do you have any idea on how much he is bleeding?

    He's not bleeding well. But there's no exit wound so it's hard to say. I found blood past where I thought he was down. Taking a short nap since I slept terribly last night then heading out to grid search the neighbors.

    No luck so far. Lots of Grid searching has been done. Everyone has lost all hope but I still think he's dead somewhere. I think it's a liver shot based on the blood I have found. Arrow is still in the deer as far as we can tell.
