4 does one buck..the buck not interested in the does. I will get out some more but gonna be slammed at work after Thanksgiving till Xmas so will have to try and kill one in January. Nothing really on cams that interests me right now. Passed that real nice one up in October but hoping he makes it another year he has alot of potential. Good luck men.

Same exact thing one state over in Virginia. No deer on the mountains, they're all on the little bit of Ag.
Had a little break but I'm ready to get back at it tomorrow. Gun season next week but will still be using my crossbow. My right eye is shot. Have a appointment Dec.1 for pre cataract surgery testing. I can't see the front sight on my pistol or shotgun and there's not enough time to try to learn with the other eye. Good luck to the hunters getting out!

I jumped a doe close to the house going in for lunch. Nothing this afternoon. Between the 2 of us we are up to 10 sightings in 2 days….8 different deer. Used to have that many come by at a time.

In a tree. Warmer than anticipated. First button buck to walk by is getting hate killed. Don’t have much hope for tonight but we will see. Good luck all
Hunt #10 with Ty, hoping for some action. Had an injured/sick yearling being hounded by a yote in this spot earlier, just no shot on either. Good luck to all that are out!
I saw 2 lone does this am & I'm silly enough to be back out at the other blind. Desire level is low. Good luck !

Saw a button buck and a spike this afternoon. A coyote walked past the stand as I was getting my gear together to get out…passed within ten yards from the bottom of the ladder.
Good hunt 13 popped out from the lot next door. 2 bucks young 8pts. Across the section 2 or 3 came out a lot 1 of the bucks ran 350 to 400yds smelled them and ran right back. A doe and 2 fawns fed down at 65yards that came from me. Watched them and then small herd walked by at in the almost darkness. Tried howling like a coyote 3 times and the 3 just stood there. I told him lets go. Saw 18 total. All young deer. We have the most deer since the herd reduction plan early 2000s.

Slow hunt outside of a small 8 point that wouldn’t leave. It took every bit of my being to not let him have it but I know I would regret it. Not sure if I’ll hunt tomorrow yet or not, temps don’t have time overly excited.
Had 5 does come out 65yrds out, closest only made it to 50. Just needed 10 more before he got the green light. He was pumped and did great listening, getting safety off and being ready. They crossed directly downwind and the scent smoker did its job. He was shaking like a leaf and couldn't stop smiling knowing he's getting closer. Great hunt with my son tonight!
Hunted from 4:00PM until dark. Saw five deer during the last half hour. Two bucks, two antlerless and one unknown. This video contains images of the two bucks that I encountered during this evening's short archery hunt (4-5:40PM).
Those were the only two that got within range, and I could have easily shot either one of them.
The first encounter was a buck that I've had a close encounter once before a couple of weeks ago. He seems to be a rather busy buck, let me tell ya, always on the go, always seems to be seeking.
The other buck I've encountered before as well, a few times. A young six point that stayed very nearby for about 10 minutes or so, then moved on and met up with the other antlerless deer eventually, about half way down within the picked cornfield, right near the field wooded edge, further on south away from me, approximately 100 yards away.
The unknown deer I believe was also another young antlerless I suspect. It was with the other two antlerless, however I couldn't ever get a clear view of it, so that is why I listed it as an 'unknown'.
Not a arrow ever took flight tonight, so not a mess was made. Just another fun hunt @theotherfarm.
Good night all!

Sunday was spectacular. Saw several deer, none worth taking a shot
I sure do love seeing the morning Sun rise above the horizon. A deer eclipse would be better.
I'm slowly but surely correcting the same issue on the farm. The storm this spring helped a ton in creating some rich cover in otherwise mature open woods.
