    Nice job man, congrats!

    I unfortunately had to drive down to east central Indiana for work for a few days so I probably won’t get out again until Friday, if I get home Thursday evening I will probably take Friday off of work.

    Keep grinding fellas, lots of good hunting to be had still!

    Combine caused field fire
    I heard the sirens & commotion then got a text message from the property owner advising I best get out of the timber
    My location was actually safe but I lost a ground blind which was in the fence line to the west

    That sucks for you but at least you are safe. Blinds can be replaced. Hopefully it didn't mess up the hunting too bad for the future.

    Well guys, it's not more points for the team but I shot another doe last night. Meat for the freezer since I gave my first doe to the land owner.

    I did see the biggest buck I've seen while hunting earlier in the night. He was locked on a doe though and I couldn't get him to come out of the thick stuff he went into to see what my grunting and bleating was about other than to scan the area quick and get back to his doe. He came out about 70 yards away and went back in about 60 yards. His time will come.

    Naturally the cameras were very quite yesterday & so far this morning
    However…field fires during harvest combined with warm weather (it was 72° yesterday) are common but spread amazingly quick
    I’m sure the deer will return to the woods

    I'm in hail mary mode, firearm season starts Friday. Have a busted belt in front tire on my truck so had to drop $1400 on new tires. They didn't come in until this afternoon and had an appointment scheduled for Saturday at 1:45pm as that was first opening available. When they called this afternoon to let me know they were delivered, I asked if I could drop it off tomorrow morning as a walk-in and get it back same day, said absolutely. If they can get it done by 11:30-12 I can get an afternoon hunt in, otherwise Thursday will be last ditch effort before gun season.

    Still first half of November and seeing all the walk off field goal wins this week in the NFL, why not a hail mary attempt?

    I like your thinking! May the truck Gods be in your favor. Along with the deer Gods.

    Can’t say the same for a Muddy ground blind.

    My cameras are showing the deer (doe) have returned to the woods as of this morning
    Property #2 has standing corn yet so I’ve been ignoring that…farmer advised he will pick that starting tomorrow morning at 0900 hours
    Firearm season ends Sunday here in Nebraska (thank heavens)

    Guys - The rifle season starts Saturday after T-day. I will be out trying to get it done with the gun. After that, I will be trying with the bow for a doe...or a buck if I don't get lucky in rifle. Yes I'm defeated for now...

    I was lucky enough to connect on a buck with my muzzleloader. I'll be looking for one with my bow now. 20231117_152105.jpg 20231117_151700.jpg image000000(3).jpg image000001.jpg
