Late post: went out yesterday with two other fellas to a new to me property. Saw 5 skinheads in the first hour, I dropped one early then sat with a buddy. He tagged a decent 9 point with a few minutes of light left. Other guy didn't see anything. Pretty good hunt! Wife didn't see anything, I'm sure we will tomorrow lol.
Big boy made it thru gun season, including my hail mary shot tonight at 135yrds, too many branches clean miss lol. I could hear him coming a long way off from the property to the north which is where i was hoping he was not at. Waited till last light hoping he would work towards me but as soon as he was on legal land he started angling away. Till next week big fella, till next week.

Well...what a day. Something i will never forget. I finally got a chance to see the yote, took a shot at it, gonna go back tomorrow to look for it with my BIL. I got out of the blind around 430 to track it down for a bit and change the batteries out of the trail cam....something was telling me to not go home yet and to go back in the blind. So i went back in the blind i had an hour left until it gets dark. About 5:32 i heard a rock dropped from behind me...so i figured it had to be from the deer walking across the creek. 5:35 i stuck my head out in front of the blind so i could see if any deer was coming out....there was a matured doe that came out toward to my pile of corn then another deer, then another deer and so on every 2 seconds more deer coming out. Im like a little kid jumping up and down just couldn't believe what im seeing. I had eyeballed one of two matured doe and I would have took a shot at one of the doe but something was telling me to hold on...i figured maybe the last deer that come out would be a buck, but it wasnt...i quickly looked at the time on my phone i only had 5 mins daylight left. I thought to myself just put the shotgun away and enjoy watching the rest of the deer chillin in front of me. There was 15 deer 25 yards from me......all doe and few button buck and two matured doe. It was an experience i'll never forget. .

This morning when the rain-sleet-snow let up i had 3 does come into the field where i had my ground pop up blind set up. They were nervously looking into the woods behind them the whole time but no buck. Saw 5 turkeys right in front too. Fun hunt but I still have that tag. Maybe next week.
