    Really tired of these hot conditions. Makes it hard for a guy to want to go out after work.

    Yep. Man that place has potential. So thick burs and stickers. But that pocket allows those deer to move inside cover no one hunts. I found some giant rubs in there while scouting in the winter.

    Ordered 4 rechargeable lithium batteries for my Tactacams. Got those charged up and ready to rock. Think I'm going to pass on hunting tonight and get out there to change cards/batteries and set up a few mock scrapes. Do a little scouting while I'm out there. No one has been "in" the property since 4th of July weekend. I've stayed on the outside edges during my few sits.

    Got all of the cameras switched around. New batteries in all. Scrapes set.

    Lost another Tactacam to birds pecking the lens. Going to see if I can send the few in that’s happened to.

    I need to find a way into my rut stand. The drainage is full of water again. Might just get some industrial garbage bags for each leg. It is a major pain in the ass getting there either way.. otherwise I will have to loop way around and cut through the property a bit. There is either a massive buck bed directly across from my stand or it’s where they all go down to drink. I got out of there quick not to disturb things too much.

    Get some cheap waders. I got some for like 30 bucks. Take em off after you slip out of the water and if its bad weather just keep them on to stay dry.

    You are gonna shoot a good one this season.

    Both of my non cell cameras must have bad SD cards or something. Not a single picture on either card. Batteries were dead in both cameras. So annoying.

    Bummer about the cameras. Wonder what the wood peckers find so fascinating with the cameras?

    As soon as the temps drop quickly get real aggressive your first sit.

    Missed a doe. She was close… not sure what I did. Barely missed low. Think I got a little too excited for the first shot of the year and dropped /tried looking too soon.
