3 small bucks bumping heads and messing with a few does. No scrapes or rubs in the usual areas so I'd say that place is a good week or so away from getting good.

3 skin heads and a nice buck. He was 70 yds and it was getting dark. Was still fun.

31 yards!!! I had the target buck. Was chasing a doe up the ridge. She hit the top and eased off into a thicket and he literally stopped, stood in the same spot behind a beech tree for 10/12 minutes until I lost all light. He then moved another 5/6 yards, opened a scrape and then proceeded to run into the thicket! Shortly after I heard the doe and him leave down the other side of the ridge At Mach speed! Just got back to the truck and am preparing to go back in there in the morning. One hell of an exhilarating sit! So close, but feels like so far!!

No, it was my knuckle head kid. I found two sets, one for each of our buck decoys. I told him to leave that set with the decoy. And for some unknown reason he also cut off the string I used to make it easier to stake down. He will be home tomorrow. I will get answers. They won’t be logical, but I’ll get em.
Had this one go out the other end of the woods I was in tonight. I was hunting the east side and he went out the northwest corner. Woods is small but pretty thick. I know he was bedded there. May have to relocate the stand..2nd time a good one has went out the other end.

Or try it in the morning and catch him J-hooking into his bed.

Rutcation has started. I’m having motivational issues because there is nothing on cam I want to shoot but I’m 20’ up. Good luck fellas.
Sometimes that’s when the best things happen… when we have no expectations, and complete uncertainty. Have faith and hunt hard. Good luck!!

I’m too dumb to not hunt hard.

Have a camera over a scrape. Had a small buck bedded next the the scrape for 3 hours. Some of them he’s sleeping. Even had a coon walk by him within 3’ and he never budged.
First for me getting on camera.

4-7 does and a 6 point. Was not expecting this much wind.

Quick hunt this morning. East wind allowed me to hunt one of my favorite funnels. Spike and a couple does. No deer harmed.

One of the biggest spikes I’ve ever seen come through just now with a doe. Other than that, enough squirrels seen to feed all of Kenya this morning. Pretty windy, little activity here or on cams
I’m in. Took the kids to school and daycare so I could have the rest of the day to hunt. Walked out at 9:00 am and saw 4 does along the neighboring field edge. Shortly after, as I got to within 50 yards of my stand, my target buck appeared in the open about 75 yards behind them. He kept tabs on them for a bit and then slipped back into the woods. He was only a couple hundred yards away so I guess I’m settling in here for the remainder of the day. Wish I would’ve brought some lunch. Lol

Can’t take it anymore. Gotta drop the Cosby kids off at the pool. Gonna regroup and go sit a section of swamp for this evenings hunt. Will keep ya’ll posted. Hitting the woods again around 2pm
I don’t think I’ve ever been so comfortable. Kicked back in a millennium M-100, feet propped up conveniently on a branch, cool breeze blowing in my face, and the warm sun hitting just right. Staying awake today is gonna be a struggle!!!
Enjoy your nap my friend!
Is there any nap better than a midday treestand siesta during the fall? I think not!Enjoy your nap my friend!
