One small bodied deer nose to ground cruising before shooting time. Only a flock of seagulls since then lol.

Just returned from a morning drive. Saw one nice buck, and 8 trucks parked hoping to see him. He was cruising across a cut beanfield. Good luck everyone!
Should be squirrel hunting. I'd be limited out already. They're fuggin going crazy!! Seen 1 scrub buck. Dats it.
Woke up at 5:30. Thought about heading out for the heck of it.
Dad texted me and said there's a couple boys from n Carolina hunting the same property we hunt..
Said they came in yesterday and wounded a big 10 and a doe. Searched for both and couldn't find them. Then they're leaving today. Nothing like dad and I managing land all year and putting in hard stand time and effort for some goons to come in and in one weekend wound 2 deer. I'm not upset that they're out of staters, just that people can show up and screw things up like that. It's not our land so there's nothing we can do, but I highly doubt these guys have permission.

I actually saw a deer this morning. TWO OF THEM! A doe and a forky. The forkhorn was in range, but I ain't that desperate. ... yet.
Yeah that's a real downer man, sorry to hear that. Maybe you'll stumble across the ten and get a nice European mount out it.

There is a guy hunting across the road. I let my beagle loose, she went right over by his truck and started raising cain. I took the leash and went after her. Ran three out of the thicket where the truck is parked! One went towards the bigger woods where I'd suspect the guy is hunting. He's been over there every morning for a week, usually leaves @ 8.
Squirrels galore. Have seen 3 does. All walking solo. One had the white fur below her tail all stained. Tramp. The other was definitely of breeding age but did not have her hind quarter white fur stained. She passed at 20yds broadside then proceeded down wind. Scent Smoker at work! Hope she layed a natural estrous scent drag but haven't seen any bucks follow. That was 15-20min ago. Did watch a red fox come dig a kill out if the leaves and carry it off to eat. That was pretty cool.
Want to wish you all luck today. Hope you all shoot a 160. A I hope I shoot a 170". Haha.

Bucks are moving in our area today. My son saw a couple with their noses to the ground. He shot at a 10 point, but didn't notice the twig in front of his bow and the arrow hit that and did an upwards glide instead. The buck simply looked around then went back to sniffing the ground.
I told him to keep his butt out there all day!

That's bigger than anything I have on cam. I couldn't pass him up. Congrats to you that you can.
I don't have cams at this property. I'm just hoping something better is out there. I'm satisfied just knowing I could've zapped him.
Don't get me wrong, my trigger finger is itchy.
