I'm feeling a bit sore & tired myself from all the wood work yesterday, but I'll make it to the stand here in about 40 minutes. no doubt.
Good luck gents, when you start to think twice, think about us poor soles who can't make it to the stand unless its the weekend. Go get em!

Lots of deer on the roadside on rt93 between logan and mcarthur. Saw a few dead ones also that weren’t there yesterday on my drive back. A car was damaged pretty well on 93 just north of 56. Three vehicles pulled over to help. Looks like they’re starting to harass the does more each day. Should turn on real soon.

I’m in. Off to a great start. Had an inkling to sneeze. 99% of the time I can stop this.... not this time. Never heard anything take off though.

OOHHHHHH. PSA FROM DUMB FIREMAN!
SHOOT YOUR BOWS WHEN NOT HUNTING. I bumped my sight a few times the last week, it's pretty solid so didn't think anything of it. Shot yesterday since it's warm in the PM. First groups at 20 were like 2-3" left. Hmmmmm. Went back to 40...6" left. Damnit. Shot again. And again. And again. Same results. Fixed sight. Shooting great again. I just know I'm probably not the only one to get complacent with shooting during the season. Here's my 40 yards group after the fix.

7 already! 3 while walking in to the SE that I bumped in the alfalfa field already, one that stopped at my best field shooting lane to the West, then 3 antlerless to the North. All within bow range.
The one that stopped at my field shooting lane was a decent 8 @6:26 and then he came back through 15 mintutes later, still with his nose to the ground. I got a not so good photo of him. I continued to watch him head SE, then do East towards the back of the alfalfa field, and finally out of sight.
The PLB scrape looks like someone took a shovel to it. It exploded overnight!
I'll be swapping out the SD cards at both of them after this morning's hunt.
They were on thier feet early. A fun & exciting start!
Good luck to whomever is hunting this morning!
King nut is at work...fml. you tell my followers to calm their tits! It isn't time yet.

The three year old 9.5 point just walked by. Saw the tiny 10 too. He has a split brow too.
Nice 3 year old city deer bumping a doe

Buck walked the treeline before shooting light. Could just make out a tall rack in the gray light. Calm walk and never stopped.
Nothing since.

Just had an encounter with a shooter. Came from my downwind side and cut across the field to hit two scrapes. Ignored the four does in front of me. I grunted then he came to check them out from 60 yards away. They split then he turned the opposite way so I snort wheezed and he turned around, slowly making his way back across the creek thinking about trying to get back around me downwind. I don’t think he was convinced totally since he had just come from a spot where he would’ve smelled the other buck. He is still close but I think he went to bed. He didn’t show a ton of interest in the four does, just a long stare.

Old cia trick... rub your tongue on the roof of your mouth as hard as you can. Works every time to prevent a sneeze. And no, I’m not kidding.
As Biden would say .... " Come on man " .... this guy just came in on my flank at 25 yards. Stood looking a bit& went stage right. I tried grunt and snort wheeze. No dice.
That doe must be in season...second buck showed up
