    I thought for sure I would have seen deer this morning. All I’ve seen is birds and squirrels.

    Rifle season report, 10 hunters give or take on the morning or afternoon. One spike buck shot. Some basket racks seen along with a few does and fawns. I will be back in the woods later this week to a couple of bow spots with the trusty string and arrow.

    Well change of plans has me potentially hitting the tree tomorrow mid-afternoon in a brand new sit...need the south winds to really hold on more than west...predicted SSW right which I could squeeze it in...if I go, real good chance a slick head walks by that location per cell cams.

    I made it home 40 minutes ago and went and jumped on a stand. It’s only a 1.5 hour hunt but you can’t kill them if you’re not out.

    It was an eventful evening last night and I was fortunate to have a shot at this guy. I will get pictures posted today sometime and get him scored soon.

    I could have shot does every sit this weekend, but letting you have a chance to beat me! Actually, I didn't really have the time to butcher one. Yesterday morning I had 4 of them eating in the alfalfa 12 yards from my lake place. My properties have lots of does, it wont be a problem. Just waiting for the rut to wind down.

    oh I know, my biggest issue is time and family health of the wife…she gets feeling better I’ll likely be able to connect just in a hunt or two!

    Your extra 50 points could be that second buck too (wink wink!)

    Lots of sits. Lots of deer. No shooters have given me a shot yet. Back out for an afternoon sit. Last 2 mornings have been cold! High of 60 today. Probably taking a break tomorrow and will not hunt. Been going hard daily now for the last week or so.

    I’m out again for the afternoon. I’ve seen 7 does/fawns already. Got to be some bucks in here.

    I ended up having a pretty good sit. 10 does/fawns a basket 7 point and an unknown that I was catching glimpse of at 100 yards. I'm pretty sure it was a buck because he had its head down the whole time, but it was pretty thick. Just a matter of time.

    Anxious to see what your buck will score. I take it you're also in a local buck contest.
