Watched a small buck run a tree 10’ from my stand and had a doe with two yearlings walk passed me. Never had a shot at the doe but that’s all right. It was a great night in the woods.
Caleb, on the other hand, learned a lesson about what happens when your string slaps your coat sleeve. It was a clean miss but he wasn’t too happy about that lesson.

Well haven’t hunted yet. But between neighbor and I we’ve found 7 dead EHD deer on our land. Friend approx mile from here found 10 dead on his lease. Anyone finding these?

Yep. Mason picked this guy up today on our place. He was one we had high future hopes for.
You guys go on to work, I'll take my coffee & go watch deer. Recon missions until after Strouds, then it's doe season ....
Let's hope these cold nights wiped the EHD off the table.
I bounced my arrow off some saplings yesterday evening at last light. Broke the damn arrow in half. Those saplings disappear in low light. My lighted nock changed directions like 6 times it seemed. LMAO!
It was my first sit of the year and no camera used in this area. Just an old reliable spot.
The target was a nice 150" 10 point. All the fun, none of the mess... right Brock?

Saw two does tonight. Heard some turkeys and saw two squirrels. Coulda been worse.
Another exciting evening afield for me. I had a good wind and got aggressive, hunting from the ground in hopes of punching a doe tag. I even went so far to tote the crossbow instead of a recurve... because it just sounded fun for some reason, and because I was on a meat collection mission. Well 10 antlerless deer made an appearance, but skirted me by about 150 yards to the east. Bummer. But at last light, 4 bucks entered the field and made their way onto my property... well out of bow range, yet close enough to get the blood pumping. One of them was a 130" 8 pointer, and one of them was a 150-160" 10 pointer. He was a beast. A wide and massive rack. Well I was pinned down by them and of course, the direction they were heading was the same direction I had to go. So I waited them out... as they worked past me, I followed behind slowly and quietly, glassing them and watching them feed and spar with each other the whole way along. It took me about an hour to get out of there but it was worth it. Witnessed an awesome full moon and didn't educate any big deer.
You cant drive down my road without smelling them. 6 confirmed on my little 4 mile long road and I’m certain that’s not the extent of it. Meigs county.

First time in the stand since Thursday. Too hot but it’s about time for Ocho to make a random appearance.

Up in northeast GA. Hot as balls but I'm here and found promising sign while checking cams before lunch.
I'm in. Too warm but what the hell. Wasn't one to shoot in the living room. Might as well try to lay Maxx a real trail.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
