Awesome night for the Cottis Men.....
Saw a total of 9, all antlerless, and all moving fast.... They were either in the thick stuff or running out to the bottom alfalfa field.... Had two run by me at 20 yards @ 20 mph lol.... All in all a good night for viewing just not shooting.... That wind had them spooked.... I climbed down @ 4:55 too sneak around the drill pad and put a sneak on a couple.... But didn't see them before it got too dark....

Hey Dustin, that happened to me a couple times last year. For some reason when I get real excited my nose starts to run right down the back of my throat! I had to teach myself to remember to tilt my head forward. As long as I tilt my head forward, it just runs down my face. Sounds gross, but these deer are worth a little snot running down my face! The face mask is washable. Welcome to the unexplainable shit that happens when buck hunting! Lol
I'm going to try to hunt this morning if I can get across the creek safely. We got over 1" of rain but I'm hoping it stopped long enough ago for the water to go down. I opened the patio door and don't hear the creek 60 yds away down below so I should be OK. If I do hear it it's roaring deep and fast. That damn creek can go from 1" to 4' in couple hours then back to 6" in couple more hours.

I'm telling you. Something big will die today if anyone here can get the day off! It won't be me but this weather and timing should be TITS!

Took a couple days off to get some things done and hang with the family so am recharged and ready to go.I will be heading in to hunt at 11:30 for the rest of the day and sitting all day tomorrow.
Good deal guys!!!! Good luck out there! Looks like a great day to be out after a few days of less than perfect weather days!
I agree... I think they were off lockdown last weekend and Monday. The last few days I think the big boys were back with a doe. Hopefully that means back off lockdown Friday through Sunday for the final big breeding push.
