Little man and I are out in the ground blind at my property tonight. Only about an hour to go but I’m already thinking I should’ve brought more snacks!

12 deer, 5 bucks. I was still in blind when this pic was taken. Good hunt.
Harvested a nice mature doe for the landowners this evening.

This is possibly my last morning hunt of the season. It’s morning 32 out of the last 35. I go back to work tomorrow. I had no intentions of hunting this much but Covid saved most of my vacation. I have had a lot of fun and learned quite a bit about my property. The first week of November was one of the best weeks of rut hunting I have ever had. Week 2 really slowed down but I still saw a lot of deer. Week 3 less rut activity but still a lot of deer. Since then it’s been food sources only. I’m not the guy that gets lucky at last light on the last day but I will be here to prove that once again. Good luck today fellas..... if anyone is still out there. Maybe I’m the only one with a tag left.

4 or 5 shots heard a long ways from me so far. Not expecting much this morning, being so cruncky & everything froze solid an all. If a deer does work my way, I should be able to hear it coming from a mile away.
Just bunnys & squirrels at the moment.
I 'TOO' salute all those that made it out in this bitter cold morning.
Good luck!

It's about time for the old shotgun & me go for a little stroll this morning. Just waiting on the sun to soften up the ground a little bit more and away we go.
A few more standing at the back of my proerty currently.
Came across a half a dozen deer beds, at least a day or two old within the bottom right photograph, the standing weeded field. Same with the deer tracks in the snow. No big buck stuff found nearby yet.
Found some very fresh coyote tracks though, perhaps from this morning.
Done with my very local recon. Heading back to the shop, which is within the lower left photograph, just on the other side of the main creek.
No more shots heard since my first early morning post.
I'll be back out again for an evening hunt later today.

4 bucks and 4 does. Some distant shots. Most of my herd has been accounted for in the last 18 hours. A couple 3 year olds MIA though. Giving it another 20 minutes then try again this eve.

Nothing yet...the moon was bright this morning...I could’ve started hunting when I got to the blind but was still an hour from sun up.

Slow couple hour hunt for me. I did see six antlerless standing on the hill above my truck when I was leaving . They had no idea they were easily visible on the snow. If I were looking for meat, I could have rolled one down to the truck.
Was a real slow three days at camp. Only deer I saw was Tuesday morning. She will help fill the freezer though.
