Still enjoy reading your write ups, goal achieved or not. I'm just hoping to see deer this weekend.

I just wish I’d think of this stuff when I’m setting up… and not after the blown opportunity! It’s so cruel it’s funny. No matter how long we hunt these elusive critters, for some people (me, in particular) getting your brain to think like them is still a challenge.
Had you set up trying to predict him circle Jerking downwind 50 yards sure as shit he would have attacked the decoy.

Been set up since a little before 0700, it's a beautiful morning
Bounced two out on my drive in. Smoked myself thoroughly because well for any other hunting i don't care about scent as much.

Going for a mature buck if one walks by, clovis is ready to eat.

Super slow morning but beautiful. Called a coyote across the field to 50 yards. Thought he was coming closer and my house was 150 yards behind him. Arg

On this particular set, if I could’ve thought of something more permanent than soap, I would’ve done it. The trail I blocked goes between two houses and there is no way to hunt that spot…so I tried pushing them my way.

No sightings here yet, really windy on this hillside. I haven't had a single deer come in during shooting light the last week and a half. Might go tomorrow morning and then call it quits until Tuesday unless the weather changes enough to convince me.
At work, saw a buck chasing 3 does. Probably a 120" 3 year old. This was a heavy EHD area, first deer I've seen out here alive all fall.
One regular 2yr old buck. Yawn. Been in this stand since 639 because it is so tight to bedding. Plus I hadn't sat in it yet this year. Packed a sandwich and a water. That should last me until 930. Hoping as the corn comes off I start to see more does. Can't remember a year with so few does around. This is our second season post EHD. I saw more last year. Really weird. Good luck to anyone out.
Just had a doe and button buck fed through. About a minute behind them was a little 4-6pt doing tiny grunts as he followed them. I didn't hear any of them walking but heard the grunts which alerted me to his presence.
He completely ignored my grunts so i may hang that up for this sit.
All were right under 40 yards and easy broadside or quartering away shots so the location is good.

I changed spots , slipped over the back side of the hill in their bedding area.very little wind on this side , I'm hiding in a hole from where an old tree was uprooted. Going to be close up and fast If it happens
Standard disappointing morning for my place. Sure am happy for my rat population. They might keep us from starving in a collapse.
