    I'll be out again with the kids this Saturday for early antlerless season. Might bring the bow depending where we sit. I put a trail camera up again for the first time in a couple years. Plan to pull the card This week and see if I need to make a move. Supposed to be warm again in the upper 80's

    Didn’t end up hunting yesterday. Not feeling the greatest and it was just too warm outside. Pull camera card Thursday and had no pics. So obviously they are not using that trail any more. lol. It was pretty beaten down but probably spring mid summer travel. Moved camera and will let soak for a couple weeks. Might get a mid October hunt in but likely won’t be until the end of October

    Finally cooling down some here, but still no targets around. I may shoot a doe this week though.

    Headed out in a few hours….high of 75° but 70° at sundown….
    Slight NNW breeze at 10mph
    ISolunar app says “fair” which is better than “average” so out I go.

    Went out to move trail cam and found this guy. Probably only been dead for a couple days. Doesn’t look like it was shot. Guessing got spooked by something and got stuck. Tough way to go

    Wow. Definitely not a good way to die. You must not have a big problem with coyotes. You can see the ground tore up with him flailing trying to get out.

    There is a small pack running around but this is not their main area. Only hear them, on occasion. I know the neighbor does some coyote hunting so probably helps. Yeah he was struggling to get out. I walked by the same area 2 weeks ago and he was not there. Probably took several days for him to die.
