So last year she sat with me 8 hours during muzzle loader season. I shot one at about 10 yards and she pointed out where we tracked the doe to on our walk out. She remembers, definitely.

Feeling much better today!
Did a Thanksgiving evening hunt on top of the North ridge with the ideal NW wind.
Plenty of deer movement. Saw 9, 3 young bucks & 6 antlerless, all them within bow range, however none offered up any kind of a real opportunity.
Back on top of the North ridge again this evening w/ virtually no wind from the NE.
Just had another encounter w/ the same young 9pt at 30 yards as I was typing this post, @3:00 p.m. sharp.. He went into the open field just to the West/my right. Tried to get a photo of him, but he's difficult to see in it. It's a good sign though!
Good luck to whomever is huntin today!

Shit, the much bigger Buck, the shooter slipped by behind me, just within 50 yards and went into the same field as the 9put. Hopefully, they make their way back through.
They're on their feet early.

I just watched the shooter Buck bed in the open field due West me at 60 yards in the tall weeds. I can glass him from my tree. I have a mild NE crosswind and it's very quiet. I don't think I can put a stalk on him.
We'll see what happens here shortly.

Back to work tonight. Haven't hunted Ohio in a week. Nothing new on cam so I stayed out until next week. Last year I saw 72 deer for the season on the Athens property. I've see 174 so far this year on the new property in about the same amount of hours.
Damn, I wish we got a little rain right now.
If these leaves on the ground were wet, I'd stalk that Buck easily and kill him, but instead, I'm stuck standing in my stand watching every move he makes at the moment, hoping he gets back up before quitting time and makes his way towards me.
He's my shooter alright, no question about it.
He's just beyond the vines & trees, within the tall weeds bedded.

I kinda thought it'd happen having tagged a buck and hunting for a doe now I had a bigger buck than I shot walk down and stand broadside at 30yrds tonight. Shithead.....
In with 30mins till shooting time. Felt like a solid, quiet entrance.
Good E wind, let's have some action this glorious day that damn state from the N gets an ass kicking like no other! Big bucks and a big W is what I'm pulling for today.

Been in since 630. Have had 5 antlerless deer under 30 yds and a small 6 come in doggin does yet. Need one of the big boys to show up and follow the same trail as the rest..
We're winning but defense needs to step it up. I didn't wanna miss it so I figured I'd do a evening hunt after the game.

I made a deal with the wife. I agreed to be nice to the in-laws and sit here watching the game until 2:30, then I get to go hunting. Pretending to care about football right now and mentally planning a ground assault on a doe. Will be hunting the NW corner with a SE wind.

I may sneak outback after the game as well. East wind and rain moving in.
