A big bad nothing burger! Nada, nothing, zilch! Didn't see or hear a deer anywhere. Totally skunked this evening for the very first time this season, although I think I have a real good drop on a coyote den though. Second evening in a row where I heard a yapping coyote directly across the field from me, to the South, coming from the same spot as yesterday. I believe they took over the same den I discovered in that area two years ago. And yeah, this too, I could've bagged my limit of squirrels this evening as well if I truly wanted too. They were busy at least.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day in paradise. Hopefully it will start off with a bang come daylight and start seeing these mature bucks chasing down these does around here during the daylight. I've got plenty of them in the area, that is for sure.
I'll be hunting in the a.m. within the big bedding area, on top of the 'North Ridge' for the second time this season do to the NW wind that's forecasted, then switching to coming from the East by midmorning, and then finally by noon, changing once again to coming from SE. That's when I will move back to the same setup I been hunting over the past four days. Any South or West type winds are totally ideal for that particular setup, at my 'Western Stand'.
The big boys, if there aren't chasing during the day by then and stick to their regular routine, I just might stand a good chance come evening in seeing one of them, that is, if they show up before quitting time. You can bet your bottom dollar that I'll find out one way or the other come tomorrow.
Okay, that's my evening deer report. Pressing onward.
