    My moultrie camera quit working. I received my two new ones in the mail and got them activated. I plan on getting them out tonight. Hopefully the big boys will get in front of them.

    Well last night was a phenomenal sit. No shots but saw two 10 pointers, one was probably around 110 the other about a 125-130. No shots though. I learned something from that sit with rhe smaller 10pt, as he came into the public field when the wind died down and must have caught my thermals as there is a slight change in elevation; he went and bedded in a ditch but I could see his head and he was laying there staring my way until it was dark, never watched him get up and he likely saw me get down. The big 8 didn't show, im guessing he is wise to my ways right now because I haven't seen him since that first time.

    Im going to give that piece a break and stick around home for a while since its just a quick walk to the backyard. Going to go across the creek tonight and bring a decoy and try some light rattling, a bit aggressive I know but when I've seen bucks together they usually do a bit of sparring.

    Of course. They haven't been moving much but there is still some standing corn next to the house. I think that will change within the next couple of weeks. I am praying for rain today as my food plots need it bad.

    This is my number 1 hit lister this year. I call him the big 9. I saw him a few times this summer in velvet. This will be the third year I have been hunting him. Last year he got lucky as I tagged out early and didn't get to pursue him.  Big 9.jpg

    Not sure, but I’ll let you know.
    860516065708368-90-3-09302025120308-W1014063.jpeg 860516065708368-90-3-09302025122542-W1014064.jpeg This guy keeps coming in. He’s not huge, but he’s definitely a late December shooter buck. He’s in the same crossing where I shot last year’s buck.
    Figured I’d better start participating.

    Well good sign. The cold front has them on their feet. While not a shooter it is a positive that I get a pic 1 day after putting the camera out. Food plot pic 1.jpg
