I sat for the last hour out here behind the house with my recurve. Rain is coming down pretty steady now. No deer seen...
I actually snuck out to the shed myself. No bow or anything, just a couple of beers and the woods. Felt great to get out, even if I wasn’t actually hunting, it felt like I was. I’m gonna call it my first sit. Might of been enough to tak me into getting a tag.

Nothing here. I tried the bleat can for the heck of it just before dark and we both heard something bleat back but never saw a deer. She thought it was fun and excited about trying it again so that’s a good hunt if you ask me. Really felt like fall tonight.

Only 1 fawn seen tonight. Several people I know had really slow nights tonight. Not sure why as you would have thought they would be moving.
Took my son out tonight. Saw a good number of deer . Had a group of 5 does come too the cornpile in front of the blind . Seen a couple of small bucks but they didn't offer him any shots . Busy the rest of this weekend so we will try again next weekend for him .
Not sure when I'll get back out. Saw 3 including a borderline shooter. Next year if he is the same size he won't get a pass. Got a pass tonight because I had him pass at 40yds with little notice. Steady light rain made it tough to hear. Lots of green leaves made visibility tough.
Find those scrapes this morning boys. Little dose of rain last night should make things just right for some tending activity this morning. At least that's what they say on TV...
Rolling north towards the farm. Going to flip a coin to decide where I go.

Settled in. Elected to forego this climber since both trees I'd considered were maples. With the rain last night, I didn't feel like hugging a wet tree for 25', especially one with slick bark. My platform blind is best for this wind anyways. Traditional scrape at 20 along a nice little pinch in the creek. Lots of bedding and cut corn to the north. Decent bedding to the west and south, with some scattered white oaks along the fenceline 100 yards W of me. Low impact, high reward type of spot. Sitting until 10:30, then bailing for K's soccer game.
Good luck to everyone that gets out today.

Settled in... be amazed to see anything considering they ALL watched me walk in... eyes everywhere.
Heard some coyotes to the north, maybe one of them will come through.

Buck to the N thrashing a tree. Sounds like when they use boat oars to call moose. Took me a few minutes to figure out what it was. Hit the grunt tube with one soft little grunt. He knows I'm here...
