My plans fell through as I found out a neighbor has been bowhunting the property I thought was untouched. He was going to be this morning as well. I just had no gumption to bump elbows with him. Intead my daughter is bringing our grandkids today.

I woke up at the crack of ten, got some Scent Smokers ready, and went to town to get 'em shipped. I made it just in time as the post office closes at noon. I looked across the parking lot to the McDonald drive through and saw a jeep with two dead deer strapped on top, along with treestands and a deer cart. Drove by a couple of public land parking spots on the way home. They we both full of vehicles - at noon! I'd say from my short look around there are quite a few people out today.
Well, I'm awake & I can't tell if it's gonna rain or not. The radar doesn't look promising. Oh, yeah, at 7 am, while I was finishing up my shift that I otherwise would have been in the woods, I got a pic sent of a nice buck coming between the houses. The gal that had just arrived to take over the next shift couldn't understand why I started to cry.. & then at 8 as I was getting into bed, more deer walked bast my ground blind. Shooters or not, I'd just have been thrilled to see deer, but noooooo ..... just my fuggin luck. I almost was gonna go out for a bit, but I'd have to shower up & smoke down & I was TOO pooped.

I was skunked this morning. Had some guys put a drive on over on the opposite hillside. Not one deer bolted and no shots fired. Did hear a lot of "hey, hey, here deer!" as the drive was going on. Lol
Kody had a coyote run past him this morning but it was moving too quick for a shot. He and my dad checked the cam on the way out and 2 bucks were on there at 6:30 yesterday evening. One was the elusive Jagger.
I'll be sitting with Kody tonight in that stand hoping Jagger shows up a little earlier. My dad is taking the evening off to go out to eat with my brother for his birthday.

Sat until 1:30 and same 5 does/yearlings. Counted 5 gun shots all morning. Pretty quiet out there. Trying to decide if I'm gonna head back out for the last few hours. It's raining right now, what to do, what to do...

Had Milo out in our woods working some quail - he's catching on! We jumped some deer, they went across to the neighbor's. Heard three shots. Waited a while, rode the quad over to see if anyone needed a hand and to just be nosey. Didn't see anyone around, but did jump 5 does out of the ditch. No more shots heard.

I saw 5 does and 2 bucks, one pretty good one this afternoon. I was able to get the two bucks on a short video.
My DIL saw the same two bucks and around a dozen does plus one more buck. No shots on any bucks for her today, maybe tomoorrow.
I heard a bunch of shots today, more than on Saturday of the 7 day gun.
The blind I went in this afternoon is a elevated blind and I left my gun in the UTV and just took my video camea. Wouldn't you know that I saw 4 coyotes this afternoon. Only one would have presented a good shot, but it was good, 80 yds stopped broadside in the field and my gun 50 yds from me
. Oh well my bad.

A lot of shots yesterday just a few this morning. 6 does fro me so far. DIL let a little 3 point walk
The guys at the hotel where killing some deer yesterday. They said they held out for a big buck during the first gun but the brown it's down game is on now. None of them MZ hunt the primarily drive hunt. Based upon the shots yesterday there might be a bunch doing the brown it's down game
