I stayed out till 11 & noting was seen. I went back out at 4 still feeling good about this spot & all that came thru was one of my neighbor's dogs. No shot offered.
The does just ain't doing their thing yet.

Small buck came through around 5:00 at 80 yards or so. I think the guy on the neighboring property driving his tractor around the woods with a bush hog on it might have had something to do with the lack of sightings. Left my climber on the tree, back out in the morning.

Basketball kept us from hunting this morning. Saw a decent buck tonight that was following a doe who still had a fawn tagging along. There was a dink in the mix too. Both bucks were run off right at dark but what we think is one of our targets. No comparison between him and the other two bucks, just huge. Unfortunately, it was too dark to say for sure. Fun evening.

I will be out all day tomorrow except for about a 2 hour break for church and lunch. Will be mostly morning hunts for me after that except weekends due to work but hoping to tag one tomorrow and be done for the year. 20-25 acres of standing corn was just cut down today next to the patch of woods I've been hunting.
Low of 2 degrees Tuesday with a high of 20 and should be 2-3 inches of snow on the ground here. Had to rub my eyes and look at that forecast a second time.

Sat in a ground blind from 2pm till dark....at 238 i see movement to my right but it is moving fast away from me with absolutely no shot....it was pretty big whichever deer it was...he stopped in the open field and i grunted at him, he quickly turned bis head my way but didn't move, i grunted again, he turned his head again, but then went about his business, so close yet so far away....that was the only deer i saw all day.
Back at it in the morning!

I was in the stand from 8am-dark. Missed a nice 8 point 20 minutes after I got on stand. Saw a real nice 10 chasing a doe 80 yards away at 10:00, never got an opportunity. At 11:30 I got down from my millennium and got my climber off the tree 50 yards to the south of me and climbed up a tree that would give me a better shot if a buck came out of the bedding area. I was also situated in the middle of the woods to intercept the bucks I've seen coming through to check the doe beds at the south end of the woods. Go figure, at 4:45 a small buck comes in, goes to the scrape that's 20 yards in front of where my climber was, and another nice 8 (probably 130") follows his same path, grunts or bleats couldn't bring him back. Then at 5:05 some assholes on the next property over must of shot a deer, they were walking through the big doe bedding area with lights having a conversation so loud that I could hear them from 100 yards. Then every deer that was left in that bedding area came hauling ass past me, fuggin assholes. Back at it in the morning.
All the bucks I saw today(5-6) were searching for does and checking bedding areas. Noses to the ground. Most were down wind of me and not one had a clue I was there. Smoked up
all the corn got cut also so thats a huge help, its only a matter of time now.
