Congrats on your first buck! Nicely done!
Well gentleman for my first deer I’ve succeeded. Came in to “the can” around 10am. Hung around for 15 minutes and gave me a shot from 15 yards out of my blind. Couldn’t be more happy with my first harvest. Been a long journey from last year. Learned a lot. Best part is it was on my property. Even more special feeling.

I’m hunting the edge of a cut cornfield with a creek on my left, cut corn on my right, and a heavily used deer trail at a bend. There’s does on cam all night. Lots of deer but only at night. It’s a 20 acre farm so I don’t have many options on it. I’ve hunted the backside of it with a corner where there is a creek and standing corn in the other farm behind me. Same thing, lots of does but all at night. I can’t push into the other farm because I don’t have permission. Our deer are not active during the day and I’m not seeing the bucks coming in on the cams after the does push through. I’ve hunted for 27 years and have never had a season like this. We just sold our land and cabin in southern Ohio and this is my first year at this new farm. The deer are there, they just aren’t moving during daylight. And the farm owner says no one hunts the farm behind me so there shouldn’t be any pressure. Is that standing corn holding them and keeping them from coming over to my farm? It’s just weird all around!Are you hunting a wide open area or are you close to cover/bedding/browse? If you are a long way from these 3 things you probably aren’t ever going to see much. That’s about the only answer I have unless they somehow know you are there. After 12 empty sits I would be going elsewhere.
They are in the corn or somewhere else. I’m firm believer in deer don’t go completely nocturnal. They might not travel outside of a secluded thicket during daylight but they aren’t bedded all day. They need to browse every so often.I’m hunting the edge of a cut cornfield with a creek on my left, cut corn on my right, and a heavily used deer trail at a bend. There’s does on cam all night.

Hell yeah man! Get it done. Nothing here. All nocturnal still and nothing worth a place on my wall. It'll happenI’m right on the Medina and Wayne county line. We have two farms here that make up 160 acres total. It’s on fire here
