Thought it was going to be a productive night road scouting since the storm blew through in the late afternoon & temps dropped about 15 - 20 degrees. After driving around for a while and not seeing much on one farm, I decided to go cross county to another spot. Even along the way, I wasn't seeing much in the fields. As I slowly rolled past the first completely empty bean field of the farm I figured I just wasted my time & gas. I rolled along passing a section planted in corn, and approached a second section planted in beans. Nothing.
I drove along, did a U turn and started heading back. When all of the sudden at very last light I see a hint of tan stepping out into all of the green. It's a buck. Nothing for this year, but maybe he'll stick around for future seasons. As I'm glassing him, I see some more movement coming behind him. Finally... something decent to put on the hit list. I tried to get some pics but it was very low light and I didn't bring my tripod.
He's all I've got so far, but hopefully this weekend's camera check shows him & some others that could be in the area.
