Hit a nice 8 this morning. Thought I smoked him. Blood dried up and no dogs can come help. Pretty sick over it
This stand is in the right spot. Possibly right tree. Wrong side of the tree. Might try a tall ladder on the other side next year, that way we don’t have to cut cover limbs to climb in.
I’ve seen good bucks each time from this spot but have also been busted every time I’ve been in it. It will be a miracle to pull it off…. Wait, I don’t need to worry about that. Why would this night be THE night to actually shoot?

In the stand after being sick again. Hopefully that’s all past because I’m on vacation for a week now and I’m hoping to do some hunting
My son wanted to hunt, so we’re hunting. Worst wind direction possible. Combine just a few hundred yards away. Everything working against us, but we’re having a good time. Hoping for a dumb button buck or doe fawn tonight. Lol
To say it's absolutely goergous out would be a huge understatement.

Not sure what I'm even doing. Well, playing the wind with the climber in a spot that works. Should have picked a heavier deer travel corridor. But. . . Playing the wind. They just finished picking corn 100yds or so to my west within the last hour or two. Standing corn to my south. Creek crossing to my east. Works for the winds. May need to bang the rattling antlers and let them know they are welcome to come check things out over here. The view is amazing though and it is an awesome afternoon. Just need a dumb buck to head north looking for the ladies.
This is my view south towards standing corn and the faint trail as it is covered in leaves.

Dispite this mornings misfire and tracking that deer for almost 5 hours, as well as the temptation to just leave and go grab some food and a beer and watch some football, I’m back out. And glad that I am, it is an absolutely beautiful afternoon! Can’t ask for anything better in November! I’m happy just to be out, but I’ll be even more happy if I get to see some deer this evening. Good luck everyone!

Some of you might remember JoeJoe. He isn’t able to post much anymore but follows along. Today was his first full day on public in Iowa. As usual he got it done…. In a big way!

I'd like to see the one your REALLY holding out for.....bet it's a freak nasty buck!
We've been in for a few. Nothing yet. Not where we'd like to be cause the wind is cock blocking us. Anything is possible I guess...GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Honestly, I don’t have anything that will break 135”. A 5 year old 8 that’s smaller this year and a 4 year old 9 character buck are the targets. Or a stranger. The future looks great but I might be too old to hunt by then. The 3 and 4 year olds are really wide. The 2 year old crew has long tines. Hopefully someone will get the combo right!I'd like to see the one your REALLY holding out for.....bet it's a freak nasty buck!
I’ll show up and push your wheel chair, Mike…..
