    Congrats on the buck. You guys have to knock down some does.

    I had an alpha doe with her two youngsters near my bait pile, <20yds the other evening. She never cleared the hollies that protected her vitals. (How did she know?). Oh well...

    Oh man, we can definitely make a run! I'm hoping to take my longbow out this weekend and shoot a doe. My wife's grandfather has had his cancer come back once again and asked if I'd shoot him a deer since his energy levels are so low. It'd be the most meaningful deer to date. Not just because it'd be for him but also because he wants to process the entire thing together.

    Let’s hope you can do that for him Jensen. The temps are going to drop. I am finally seeing deer locked down with does in the fields. Good luck everyone

    With the temps starting to fall, the deer have been starting to hit our standing beans pretty regularly in the evenings. If I don't kill a doe this weekend, I would be surprised!

    All of these deer are in bow range of our blind, which is just out of the frame in the upper right corner.

    They’re definitely replenishing after the rut. Greens and beans are where it’s at right now. Here’s one of my plots this morning. You can barely see my stand in the back left on the picture. It’s clover on the stand side of the plot and 7 cars stud near the camera. Unfortunately the wind isn’t looking good for this stand this weekend. IMG_3672.jpg

    I went out this morning as it's tradition to hunt Thanksgiving morning around these parts! Didn't see anything but a small button buck, but it sure was a beautiful morning! 30 degrees, slight breeze, clear skies and a heck of a sunrise. A great day to be a bowhunter!

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Here's to putting down some freezer queens this weekend! :beer:

    Unfortunately I did not. We just got home late last night. In most areas of the property the movement was pretty dead. I saw some from a distance and had a spike close but all the others were too far out. My nephew had the hot spot in a rye plot but no shot opportunities for him either. He was strictly going for a buck.
