Got some chores done at lunch and settled back in the same spot as this morning around 2. Cam pull showed a shooter moving regularly when temps were below freezing, not so much when it is warmer, so no big expectations tonight. Probably just be BBs and a spike.
Skunked yesterday.
This morning slept in. Saw 3 does running when I grabbed fire wood from the porch.
Hiked/ still hunted 2 ish miles at Burr Oak, saw a lone doe (maybe button buck).
Sat on my farm tonight, saw my regular mommy doe with twins and two other foes later. No bucks... our doe herd is down so we haven’t shot does past year.
One goal left doe the season. Need to get my buddy on a deer. His health is failing. Not sure he will make it to the stand again. Was able to get my land owner on a deer tonight.
Thought it was gonna happen for a bit there tonight. Had a small 7 pop out into the same beanfield at 4:53 that’s been getting all the attention right before dark. He kept looking back into the timber from where he came out of and the doe and big buck did last Sunday night at that time. After he browsed and walked away at 5:25 I saw 3 doe quickly made their way out into the beans as if right on nocturnal cue. It happens like that more and more these days. Even if there's not much shooting. It's like they hear a shot then they become nocturnal. I had shots at all four deer tonight at least.
Mason and I glassed a favorite field tonight. Saw four antlerless and the same wide buck we see most every time we glass the field. If any of you have access to a winter wheat field, I’d hunt it with these mild temperatures.
