We’ve got a bumper crop of doe and fawns running around. 4-5 young bucks cruising daily as well.
There’s a couple very large doe that might not make it past gun season of if I have my way….

I’m in. Out on some public again, hunting history and not recent or really any scouting whatsoever this year. May have gotten a little turned around and am facing the wrong way, but we’ll see once we have a little more light 
Have 2 does feeding inside of 40 yards currently. Pretty good start and got the skunk off. Just need a decent buck to do the same thing in 10 min when I have legal light.
After forgetting my cell phone at the house, a battle royal with a tangled bow rope and dropping my gloves out of the stand, got settled in at shooting light. Mostly sitting here hoping to get the text from dad that he needs help with one. Got him set up in my stand from yesterday at the edge of a bench overlooking another bench 20 feet below. If a doe or a coyote stands there long enough I’ll give them a spitfire.
I’ve heard of judging by the teeth. You may want to start a service for hunters called “My Aging Nuts”
I have lots of years of practice. It's a science at this point. Lol

8 does and yearnings at 9 oclock...no bucks.
Enough of that. Sitting here in this recliner hanging on every word in Rambo First Blood Part 2 seems like a much better plan than staying in that swaying tree in 30 degree temps. Nothing seen. Should have done a mid-day. Since Friday, they are disappearing off cams between 4 and 5 am and show back up after 10.
Had a shooter on is feet 45 minutes ago. He pushed a doe into a bowl that's known to be a hot spot when the rut is on. Unfortunately, it's not on our farm and I don't have a great spot to sit for this wind. Currently sitting in the truck trying to decide where to go...
Wait for this sun to do its thing and go sit on that great thermal spot you have on that hillside.
Had another doe with a small buck in tow come through. I once again under estimated the temps and wind lol. Have a plan A and B for this evening. A involves a pond and being in a tree and somewhat conservative. B involves a more aggressive approach near a massive food source from the ground. We’ll see what the coin flip tells me what to do.
Opted for the blind closest to the bowl he ran into. If the does are locked down, it is what it is. But if they're close to being in and he sticks with them, I have a good chance of seeing them later this afternoon. I'm in a good creek bottom funnel with bedding all around. I'm in the game without being hung out to freeze to death in a tree. I can see a good bit of ground to call as well, so here goes nothing!
