It would be nice to hunt that spot all week though. Odds really escalate when you’re at least in the stand
27* w/ a mild North wind currently.
I'm hunting in an area with my climber that I haven't hunted since my last deer harvest back on October 17th.
This was also where I had my first decent mature buck encounter of the season.
I have no real indication really that anything will appear tonight, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
At worst, I'll get some decent scouting in cause I can glass a fairly long ways from here.
Yesterday,,,
I seen the same three does pop right up out the same area within that CRP field @4:45 approximately 100 yards away initially.
In a quick fashion, they headed straight towards a cut corn field.
That's another reason why I'm giving this location a try this evening I suppose.
It's cold and I believe the deer are scrounging for some easy food.
Good luck to whomever is hunting this evening!

You have to be hunting as hard as anyone Wildlife! Hoping you are rewarded soon!
Won't be in the blind this week, but I did manage to get out behind the house and throw 100lbs of cheat on the ground. Glassed 7 deer out in the field while doing so. Gun week pressure has brought some "new" deer to my area. Late season bow hunts are already shaping up nicely.
I just asked my kid if he wanted to go out for evening hunt. He looked at me like I was nuts. Needless to say we are going out tommrow. Hopefully he gets to actually see a deer. If we’re super lucky and it’s deaf dumb half blind he may get to shoot the bow.
If by chance that happens,I think he will get his first deer.

Earlier today I did a bunch of this so I could do a little bit of hunting this evening.
It's about a +13* difference with a steady 9 mph SW wind.
Definitely more comfortable for me.
Hunting in the snow in December in North Carolina, who woulda thunk it.

Lucky man! You got sure did pounded down there! Wish we had more up here!
Third highest single day today with 12” in Greensboro in one day. Then some nice freezing rain to being down trees and power lines. Talked to some guys from Warren, Ohio down here helping out.

Mason took his buddy Kade out tonight. They saw 11. No shots fired.
Well as planned went out with the boy tonight. Agin we saw nothing. This was by far the best hunt we have had. He sat still was quite I have no complaints. He done everything damn near perfect. Unfortunately the stars didn’t align. I did tell him at season end if the squirrel is still hanging around I will let him shoot it. May happen before then. I dunno tho.
He was aiming at it saying pow etc. with a whisper. I want to to learn tho your hunting deer not squirrels etc (sorta happy it is around gives him practice looking through scope)
Needless to say time well spent.

I'm out. Smallish basket 8 just came by at 35 yrds.
32* very calm & quiet w/ virtually no wind.
I watched our regular 6 point wake up at approximately 7:20, roughly 35 yards away from me and casually grazed off further East, down into the lower CRP field.
He's in both photographs.
Good luck to whomever is hunting today!
Drove around the hunting block on my way to an appointment this morning. Seen a nice buck with a doe out in the pasture. I'll try sneaking in there tomorrow morning 
Same ol doe & two fawns outside now. I'm amazed how they can't see me. I'm mystified why she hasn't been bothered by any bucks so far this season.
