Called it a morning and back at the house now. First shot was 6:50 and I can tell you that it was not even close to being bright enough to see more then 10 yards with the overcast. Heard a few shots just before I got down. Nothing moved in my little patch this morning.
Walking out I ran into a guy hunting the neighbors property that I have been told the last 4-5 years nobody was allowed to gun hunt but the grandson and great grandkid's. Guess when you know the landowner has gone back to Florida for the winter you can just do whatever you want on his property.
Windy as hell here now and didn't want to risk trees and branches falling on me. Ain't a deer alive worth the risk. There will be better days ahead.

3 does from earlier came back with 2 more. Less doe spooked twice in the same spot, but I can't tell what caused it. She was upwind of me if that's even possible today. A while ago, I had leaves blowing from my 9 with the wind, leaves blowing in from my 3 "into" the wind and they all met in the middle to form a leaf tornado. SMH

Took youngest daughter out for a bit this morning. Only saw 1 deer and it was too dark yet to see what it was. At work now but will head back out this afternoon

Yeah I found her. The shot was bad, she was laying there with guys hanging out trying to get up. Went back in the house go at the crossbow and went back, finished her off. Hate to see one suffer but she’s back in my yard now.
I'm back in for a bit. I got paranoid about the xbow crosshairs being off center after I bumped it , but I'm good after taking a few shots. I may take the big gun out to The Oak if I go

Correction, him. Went out to snap a picture and it’s a button buck.

Dan and I are out today. He’s seen 3 Does and I saw one small buck. We both could of had meat. We’re after button bucks or big bucks. No deer harmed thus far. Mighty fine weather for our opener. Closest shot so far was about a mile away. Zero hunting pressure today. Time to go fly my kite.

Hunting with Dad this afternoon. All settled into the blind. Overlooking wooded ravine between hay fields. Logging clear cut to our west.
Niece shot a nice 8 this morning, she walked up on it bedded down. Perfect heart shot, it never got up.
Switched it up and hit the blind behind the house. I was cold, wet and tired from my walkabout earlier. Dried out a little on the backroads that took me home. Grabbed my little heater and made the 100 yard walk. This is one of those "you just never know" spots. You can get skunked or kill a 160. Seen both happen. I've been coming back for 14 years waiting for the later to happen again!
