9 doe an one dink buck chasing hard . The boy had a blast he wouldn't shut up the whole time so I count it as a win. He finally committed tonight he wants to take his hunters Ed and wants to start shooting a bow ASAP! So I may finally have a hunting partner next year. I love hunting but sharing it with someone makes it that much more special. My little girl has been up my ass to take her these last two weeks as well , if she gets the bug I might not get much time to hunt for myself next year o_O

Hunting doesn't get any better than sharing with them!
 
Wraps up a couple pretty good days. Freezer looking healthy. Both of these deer are 100% due to smoking my clothes. Both directly down wind. 6 hunts since I started that with deer downwind, not one spooked. Thanks for the advice and good luck to anyone hunting this week. Gonna save a tag for gun season to hunt/patrol the property.

Basket and a doe bedded together just off the trail on the way out. Likely the same 2 I saw this morning, assuming she is getting close to being ready. I really want to sleep in tomorrow, but after that I gotta get one more sit in that section. Heading north Thursday after class for a few days of rifle so this may be my last Ohio “rut” sit.
 
It was a complete clusterf@#$ getting up this tree but im in, and in a spot ive never hunted before. I got clear up to hanging height and dropped both my coats and knew id freeze so i had to go clear back down and back up, thankfully i got in early. Walk in sure is different in the dark lol. Didnt spook anything that i know of so there's that atleast. I worked last night so not sure how long I'll make it but we'll see. Havnt been out in 4 or 5 days so im just hoping I see a deer, not expecting much.
