Was out the last two mornings in washington county. Yesterday sat till 10am not a single deer. This morning sat the same stand and had chasing, grunting, growling and snort-wheezing. Had one of my shooters at 50 with his vitals blocked, saw two others over pope and young. Saw 8 bucks and 5 does. Bout as good a morning as you can have without killing one. Crazy how different it can be in one day.
Saw a nice wide 11 pt buck sitting in a bean field, at 9:30, in Delaware OH. It's here, or just around the corner
Lots of road kill on 33, Athens to Columbus. Excited for the weekend! Good luck y’all!

You and me both! I’m hunting Vinton county and the past few days only have bucks on cam at night....only seeing a couple does during first and last light. Yesterday was 77* outside and 90* in my blind. Been hunting 8 days in a row all day sits. Took today and tomorrow off to recharge and will hunt again all day sits from Tuesday through Thursday then go back to Jersey Friday morning. Already made hotel reservations for gun week. Hoping the cold front coming through Tuesday evening will get them moving. May take a evening stand Monday depending on the weather.
I grunted this morning around 2:30...she wasn't interested.

An 8 pointer, 4 pointer and a button buck are standing by a field browsing on acorns.
The 8 pointer says,
'I'm happy with my 10 does, we're really getting along.'
The 4 pointer says,
'I'm happy as heck with my 5, they really take care of me!'
The Button buck says,
'My two are all right, better than nothing I guess.'
Then all of a sudden a GIANT 14 pointer walks out into the field.
The three bucks had never seen anything like him before, they were in awe.
The big buck made a huge scrape and pissed in it, rubbed a tree the size of a telephone pole and snapped it off at the ground!
The three bucks looked on in amazement.
The 8 pointer says,
'I could probably get by with 4 does...........
Who really needs 10 anyway?'
The 4 pointer says,
'You know.............. come to think of it, I only really use one or two of mine!'
The button buck was silent, as the other two bucks look over to him in confusion.
Suddenly the Button buck runs out into the middle of the field!
He rips and tears up some grass........
pisses all over the place,
snorts & wheezes,
rubs his head raw on a tree,
and chews a lickin branch clean off!
He then runs back over to his buddies who are looking at him in confusion as to what he was doing!
His friends immediately ask him,
'What the heck are you doing!?'
The Button Buck replies,
I'm just makin' sure that big ole son of a bitch knows I'm a buck!'

Gotcha, I’m heading up tomorrow for a week. Then gun season week then it’ll be muzzle loader season....
Anyone else feel like they might be making the wrong choice waiting for this cold front to take off work? Big bucks dropping in 80 degree weather. I'll feel better if I do get a shot leaving it go awhile vs damn near instant rot heat....
I shot my buck in 72deg weather, last Saturday. They are moving in the heat. It was difficult to get it cooled down, but bagged ice was key.
