    I'm starting to see some scrapes show up on my property. I may hunt this evening if my sinuses ease up a little. Between hunting while the farmer was cutting a bean field Saturday evening and yesterday roasting hot dogs over a camp fire, I can barely breathe today. :(

    I'll be hunting over a decoy for the first time this week... I'm going to cave in and purchase the Flambeau boss buck; It'll all be on film if anything exciting happens and I'll post the footage.

    I was hoping to see the scoreboard updated when I got on here today, but looks like we'll have to add some more points before it get updated!
    Have my hunting trip down to some public land this weekend (leave Thursday at noon and there til after Sunday morning hunt). Hoping the pre rut will be going hard when we get down there!!

    I didnt see any thing, im pretty sure I heard deer(buck) rubbing a tree. I called but nothing came, then I had to go to bed. I wanted to stay longer, however I didnt want to sleep in the tree. Spooked some turkeys on the way in, fall turkey season starts NOv 2. A little while after I spooked them I heard them calling to get back together.
    Great morning/ cool crisp/

    I will be out tues evening

    Seeing we are in first place this thing needs bumped to the top! If we can get a few more pigs on the ground and some more does we'll be sitting pretty!

    I've been holding out on hunting my moms property this year until the time was right. I'm going there Saturday morning to hunt one of my favorite spots. It's an overgrown cow pasture with a 3 acre pond and a lot of bedding cover. It has been money for me in the past and its the spot I took my best buck 5 years ago. I'm going for broke this weekend fellas.

    I did put my trail camera back up last night on my property. I checked it Saturday evening and had several pics of small bucks and does, but no shooters. I also got a pic of the kid down the road who has been a huge PITA to me lately. I have 2 blurry pics of him staring right into the camera. I know its him, my stepdaughter says its him ( they ride the same school bus) but its a little blurry. I'm at the end of my rope with this kid. For those that hadn't heard about him, here's a brief recap on what happened this summer.

    I think he knows my work schedule, so catching him on my property has been difficult. I'm beyond pissed off....

    Made me laugh.

    Oh, nothing more frustrating than doing everything right and having some trespasser mess it all up.

    As far as I'm concerned you weren't hard enough.... if his parent's aren't going to knock some sense into him the 'crazy neighbor' might as well! :)
    Good luck with that situation.
