    I havent gotten out a ton latley or logged on much since I have been working so much, still hunting as hard as I can though guys! Currently been in the tree since around 1 today. Latley I have been sitting saturday mornings and afternoons and a random weekday afternoon that I csn cut out early. Havent seen a ton of deer this year (3 or 4 I can think of) but MA public land can be tough, just have to keep grinding it out. A friend had 2 cams stolen this past week and he sat about 300 yards from me saturday morning when a group of guys driving deer walked right through him, twice. The orange army is out in full swing but I am out here! Good luck guys!

    Down to the last month of hunting for me. I'll be out tomorrow for a cold day. Temps between 33-40 all day long which is really cold for southeast texas. I got a couple pictures of a decent buck the last couple weeks so hope he comes by tomorrow but i'm putting down anything that walks by.

    Sorry for not being around and not posting. I got us 50 points this morning. I’ll get it posted to the scorecard later today.

    I have only had the opportunity to hunt a handful of times this year and I’ve been mostly limited to morning hunts. I knew with the cold weather this weekend it was going to be good. This morning was perfect. It was 10F when I got out of the truck and the deer were on their feet.

    I literally have sat all day today and not seen a single deer. My next day to get out will be Wednesday evening. Hopefully it happens then.

    Thanks Bob! My doe has been posted to the scorecard thread.

    I’ve never killed a late season buck, but I did see a giant the other day. I think I know where he is bedding. I will hopefully have some more time after the new year to get after him.
