Just had a deer from a couple hundred yards away prove for the thousandth time that scent blocking clothes are a scam.

A dandy buck just walked through my back yard.
I'll be out in Muskingum later today for my first crack at the rut before the weekend army arrives! Wind is whipping in Cbus this morning but the temp is finally dropping! Think you'll have a good day! (I'm positive Polly Prissy Pants when I get to cut out early and get in the woods!)
Forgot my binos. What a stupid rookie mistake. Got my 15x binos from the truck around my neck. Feels like cinder block hanging there. 
Made it to first formation though and wasn't late. No deer seen yet and I can see 500-800 yards behind me. Expecting deer in front of me though. Nice 2-3yr old 8pt in here last night 1128pm. Be tough to pass him. Good luck all.

If that 3 year old stands under my tree again today, he may need a gauze pad

I got home late yesterday afternoon from a business trip to Pennsylvania and a pretty solid buck was in the neighbor's yard with his nose up a doe's ass. The two yearlings were just standing there looking confused. LOL

For some reason an overcast, chilly, wet day with fall colors still on the ground next to a cut corn field sits with me as one of the most picturesque times to hunt.
excited for this evenings hunt

It’s probably from being brainwashed by cabelas cover pics and the old hunting shows that came on espn Sunday morning.
I hear ya Cole, except it's a freshly cut bean field.
Only one lone 1/2 rack slowly making his away across the N field. Looked tired like he just got his ass whopped.

Even Bob Ross couldn't paint that great of a pic .... 
Pffft. Alarm woke me early & temp was 64. Fugg that. Woke up after daylight & it was 54. Got up & a handful of does were up in the woods behind the house. Got to my blind afterwards & stayed till 11. A gnarly buck had skirted @ while there. I'll be at the other blind this pm, evenings seem to be having better movement lately.

Trying a little different approach today..had to get the kids on the bus and to school plus it was raining so the morning was out. I'm in from 11 to 3 or 330 for the mid-day hunt because of evening commitments and so far it sucks lol. Took a little longer than I'd hoped to get in due to being my first one sticking setup. Up high on a ridge with bedding to the north and east, we'll see what happens.
You can
Can't beat a good sunrise some days next to a creek and crp field either.
Morning was an absolute bust with gusty, swirling winds. Back out. Gentle breeze from Northwest now. Creek bottom where bucks seem to like to cruise in November. We’ll see. And I agree that evenings seem to be better lately even with the warmer temps.

I imagine not, especially if you can listen to a couple roosters cackle
