I think these guys are messing with me. Maybe the morning will bring me some luck. Either way, I'm outa this tundra wasteland tomorrow.
7 altogether this evening from 5 onward. 4 antlerless and 3 antlered young bucks. All but two were within bow range. The last buck had me stuck in the tree for about 15-20 minutes after quitting time. No big bucks seen or heard. Back at it tomorrow.
6 deer tonight. The only one that came into range was a mature 8. 
Could only shoot him with the camera.

What a flip of a switch from yesterday. Hadn't been settled in 10 mins and heard grunting back up the draw behind me, not long after a 130 class 9pt came bumping a doe by. Then 15min later had a giant parallel the ridge into the weird south wind checking for does i got him stopped a few times but he wouldn't commit, heart breaking lol. I passed up the same 125ish 8 for 3rd time. Then heard several more chases and saw some does..awesome evening hunt. The scrape by my stand wasn't clean yesterday morning but this afternoon it was all tore up i have a cam close by but nothing on it. Things are starting to bust loose.
I drove over to see @Full bore and @finelyshedded tonight and we talked about the scrapes opening back up. My midday scouting mission and the long way back to the truck revealed several fresh ones tonight. They're back on the prowl!
Sat this morning at Kendrick woods in Wapakoneta for a veterans hunt. Didn't see shit. Went to lunch, back to the blind by 2. Didn't. See. Shit. Try again tomorrow morning then back to the house
Keep on keepin Dustin, it can change like a flip of a switch…

Shot a doe tonight @ 35 yards. Very impressed with how the NAP Killzone performed. Hit some bone with the shot but was able to just clean it off and put it back in the quiver. Nice to have some more meat in the freezer.
I didn't know they were doing the hunt this year? Give me a shout if you need anything. Good luck!
I can set you up in a ground blind someplace near my home if you want to make the hour in half drive and wish to have a high opportunity for some freezer meat at least. I have a fair number of deer nearby, plus all my local bucks are still kickin, however you can't shoot any of my local projects, such as these two
. All others are on the table, including any of the big boys.

I’m up heading back to state land this morning, had a 7 point at spitting distance last night, fresh rubs made on a several trees the size of telephone poles, me thinks the buck is a dandy
Been settled for 45 minutes or so. Leaves were damp which aided me on my sneak in. Light SW wind without getting too swirly. Beautiful morning. Good luck, everyone.

Today seems kinda weird. Didn’t see a single deer on the side of the road on the way to the stand…which is a first. And woods seem eerily quiet.

big bottle of doe estrus spilled in my back pack 
so my gear and I smell like a whore we will see if the strategy pays off

25* and fog here. Heard some running across the bottom and into the hollow but nothing came up. Visibility is now limited. Cell cams were quiet last night.
Time change through me off a bit. Piddling around in the shop this morning drinking coffee and catching up on here, then noticed it was getting lighter out as I was getting dressed to head out. I get to my tree about legal light time and bumped some deerz that were either already there or on their way there.. One blew and I heard it leave or all of them take off. IDK what kind they were however, I'll pull my TC card later on to find out. I dought it was any of the big guys, but I don't know that for sure.
Anyhow, I'm in. 28° frost w/ virtually no South wind. Super still and quite out at the moment.
