LIVE from the stand 2025-26

1 raccoon, 1 woodchuck, 1 muskrat, 1 squirrel and 1 woodcock, no deerz. Had some guys busting brush behind me around 9:15 so I bailed. Decided to scout another section before I drove all the way home, and found 3 very fresh scrapes. Picked out a tree for this evening in the heat. Typically wouldn’t hunt on a work night, but figured being tired AF tomorrow would be worthwhile if a shooter rolled through.
 
Got in around 5. Figure all that matters will be the last 30-45 min more than likely. Really digging this spot. I’m in a cluster of oaks which is directly between a massive bedding area and a water source. Wind is perfect if the deer movement is what I think it could/should be. Hoping for a mature-ish buck. Will not be shooting a doe since I work in the am and have about an hour ride home.

Good luck buddy!

Fun evening. 3 different bucks. Learned a good bit about their movement in this area, also got a cell cam up to get a better idea of their direction of travel. Looking forward to later this week when I can get back out and cooler temps.
