Glad to see things are picking up for most around here. I'm back after it tomorrow. Hoping things are slightly better than last week!
The big nine ended up skirting me in the bean field. He must have gotten a whiff of the lone doe because he could of cared less about my doe decoy in the food plot. Closest he got was 100 yards.
Tell me about it!
Heading to Indiana tomorrow for 5 days. Hopefully things move there.
Could’ve been worse… You could’ve seen a 1.5-year-old buck in the morning, saw nothing the rest of the day, and then dropped your brand new bow out of the stand as you were getting down. Sigh

Saw 8 bucks this morning, some dink forkeys and a couple 6-8 points. One nice borderline shooter about a 130 inch 8 pt.
N wind was horrible for that set and most of them circled down wind of the stand. Which was only 16 feet as one of the sticks was rusted when i hung it in September. Brought in two extra sticks and moved the stand 30 yards south up against a thicket, bumped it up to about 25-27 feet also.
Up in the nosebleed section now. This evening this doe strolled through and wouldn't leave for about 15 min. I had put some evercalm at the base if the tree and she was just hanging around looking for that doe. She came in on the same trail that 130 was on but now its up wind not down.

Dang was hoping to hear about some blood being shed. I am out of town till Wednesday night with the wife celebrating our birthdays and 25th anniversary. I almost had her talked in to hunting to celebrate, but to no avail. I will be back in Ohio Thursday-Sunday.

There will be deer shot tomorrow, I bet!
Love all the pics! I'm planning to get out of bed to watch the show tomorrow.

Skunked this evening. Things have been really slow. No doubt the population took a huge hit here in Jefferson County. About 5 deer in 10 sits. Something like that.
Couldn't hunt. Was able to drive the last 20min or so of daylight. Saw 18 deer. A group of 8, 5, 3, and 2 singles. Not a buck harassing. Does and fawns still together. I think when it breaks loose it is going to be crazy. Hope I'm in a stand when it happens.
