    Wanted to hunt yesterday, but mother nature had other ideas . Looking at Wednesday now. May sit all day. Wind will finally be right to hunt the community scrape.

    I made it out for an afternoon sit on Sunday. Saw a lot of does. I did see a shooter buck out in the distance 100+ yards in the open. He wasn't coming in to a contact grunt. Right before last light I thought I was gonna get a shot at a coyote I kissed in. Great hunt for "the lull". Won't get out again until Friday. I'll need the time. We have a bug going around the house. Son has fevers. Wife lost her voice and now I'm starting to get some symptoms. Hoping it doesn't get me as bad as it did her. Also hope I can get around the coughing. Nothing like a cough during deer season.

    Hope you and the family get past the sickness soon James. I was a fourty years smoker until last year and always dealt with a surprise cough at the wrong time. I always use to grunt after coughing. Seemed to work for me.

    Still do not have a buck on cam that I want to pursue here in Ohio. Been taking my son out on the weekends. We've been close to sealing the deal, but hoping this weekend is it. The buck he is after has been hitting a scrape during the day in one of our bottoms. If he comes in Saturday morning, it will be a 23 yd shot.
    I leave for IL next Wednesday. Really looking forward to that trip!

    You should be hitting IL at the perfect time Greg!

    Good luck to your son Saturday, and you next week.

    I went out last week once. Had 7 doe wondering around the area. 40ish yards was the closest one got. First decent buck on camera came yesterday at 8:30 pm. Wednesday through Friday supposed to drop into the upper 40's, low 50's. Try to get out one of these days.

    Looks like I will finally get out there on Nov 1st. Raising kids is great but man the timing of this second one really hinders tree time lol


    Hoping to get my 50pts on the board

    Buck I hunted most of last season showed up. Doesn't look like he gained much, he had very symmetrical rack last year and same this year. Found one side of his rack this spring, and he would've scored in the mid 150's last year WGI_3471.JPG WGI_3469.JPG . Hoping one of my kids, grandkids or brother get a chance at him.

    Got out this morning and set till 1 pm. Had a deer bed down about 45 yards away in a thicket. At some point between 10 and 11 it got up and walked off. Camera told me I choose the wrong blind at 9.

    Great first hunt.

    Well, 33* tomorrow morning in Central Illinois. I'll be in the tree, sick as the ****ens and hoping some mother nature is what I need. Good luck to all.

    Good morning. Had some grunting across the creek and scurrying around. I could hear multiple deer cross the creek. A few minutes later I see a doe round the corner in front of my stand at forty yards. The two doe. Then three doe. Following them as a decent eight pt. Great deer. Not what I’m looking for this early in the season. Had he come into twenty yards i may not have been able to help myself. Shortly after him arriving the lead doe started back the way she came from. He followed.
