Now comes the gut pile videos.......lol, right before I pulled the trigger, I got online to make sure the processor would be open today. I was kinda hoping not, but I'm happy with all the time I put in. That was the plan , to get thru winter .

So, yesterday was the first day i saw NOTHING and I went to the best shot I had. Usually don't see many doe down below this stand as this is where the big boys bed. This is the first sit all season I see no venison. Wished I hadn't passed up all those does about now and Monday the season closes for honest folk like me...
Sun at my back, wind in my face, 13 degrees. I'm at the farthest point in on a cornfield corner that drops down to a god awful thicket then swamp. I've never seen a human or a track down there. The only way you can hunt down in there is on your hands and knees with a knife or pistol in your teeth.
I'm on the corner where the farmer turns the outside rows from north south to east west and setting on my stool where the interior rows go north south. I am looking Northeast. The big boys come out at last light to the corn, but I can usually see them mulling around in the thicket or the swamp beyond during the last hour or so thanks to my higher ground position and the sun at my back.
Early on I am enjoying the Cardinals and Bluebirds trading between bushes at the thicket edge jut off the corn. I'm thankful for no Blue Jays close. Rabbits and squirrels moving back and forth from the thicket to the standing corn also put on a show. Fox squirrels taking a whole ear of corn back into the woods like a lab with a goose!
I see some movement in the swamp edge and my heart picks up. Nope not a deer, just that doggone Fisher again and he's big as an Otter. Come close big boy and I'll give you 50 cal. patched round ball lead poison! He's a no show too.
Anyways, I'm wondering why these bucks down here aren't moving till after dark. Perhaps it's because...

Smaller bear is about 250 I guess. Larger bear is 500+ The darl picture is the larger bear. The last picture gives you perspective as my pack boot is at the bottom. My shooting sticks at the top. In the middle is a good buck track, though not the biggest I saw here in this part of the corn. And the smaller bear track is on the right in that last picture. Maybe the bear have taken over the swamp and the bucks are more cautious? I'm going in there after the season to see it I imagine.

LoL - pure gold right there... Then the bear sign - that'd be a shock with the knife frozen to your lips...

This is what I get for putting off shooting my doe...50 times...till the last day! But from Monday afternoon if you look at the weather radar for Cleveland to Buffalo it will show lake effect, except over Erie county Pa...
Oh well, I never ever did choose the easiest row to hoe! Snowblower patrol, hunt (hopefully drag venison!) snowblower patrol. Then drag all my hunting stuff to the "pouting shack" and drag up the ice gear!
