Quite confident that I made a mess twenty minutes ago.
I'll go check it out later though.
The deer movement has been 'TOO' good this mornin to go do that just yet.
About a dozen deer so far within range.
Plenty of shots heard throughout the neighborhood so far today.

Good luck everyone. The woods have been pretty active this morning. Was able to secure some freezer meat. The .350 is so fun.

No shots
No deer
No fun....... there was all sorts of activity right before 6a, but no nice bucks.

Saw 1 mature doe at almost 1st light, then 6 fawns and one small maybe 1.5 year old doe. Feel bad when u have to pay nearly a dollar a pound for freezer fill and still do all the work. B back out soon.

I grew up hunting my grandpa’s and his neighbors farms in Vinton county. The last time I hunted there was about 10 years ago. I can promise you, that trend has been going on longer than 2 years. The chaos that was gun season is a thing of the past. People that do still gun hunt often do not take off for opening day anymore. With two Saturdays to fill a tag, I think they save vacation. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it has definitely changed.
I only heard 4 shots all morning, saw 9 does way out of range. They worked into the woods just north of us, hope some come strlibg theu this evening.
Only heard two shots this morning. One shot was coming from my right around 7:15 and one shot was coming from my left around 7:45 and had hope it would push the deer towards me but think they bedded down in the wood by my stand for the day.

Heard around a dozen shots this morning…nothing close. Haven’t seen a deer yet. Going to take a walk to the rear of my property and sit up ontop of the hill looking down into a ravine. Going to find a spot for a morning sit while I’m up there. Maybe sit the blind mid day and bounce around morning sits and afternoon sits. I need to change things up as the past couple of seasons there just hasn’t been the deer movement that there used to be.
I thought it be impossible 4 one man to fuck up a woodlot this size but impossible is taking place. Made a move anymore dash me one will die. Size no longer matters.
Just getting back out, hoping for early afternoon movement. They'll probably come in right at dark, as usual.

I’m at 40 shots and 5 deer seen. My nephew killed a giant on a deer drive. No good pics though. I heard 18” G2 and 195”.
