Been sitting here trying to think of the last time I killed a deer off our farm and it's been a minute. Been 8 years! I finally have enough does out there I feel comfortable shooting one, so that may happen soon!
 
How's the season going for you guys?

I don't see me hunting much if at all until later in the month. I'm going to let the surrounding pressure push deer to our farm where they will find food, water, cover and plenty of does. I think being patient will pay off. Or at least I hope so!
 
I'm planning on going out this weekend on public over at Caesars Creek for a short sit.
Then going to strouds. I'm staying off the homeplace till the 31st - last year a lot a activity happened at the beginning of Nov, so I'm leaving it lay.
And that's a first for me - I kinda like this "easier schedule", not being all spun-up to hunt both days every weekend and burning myself out.

This is going to be a good year.

Here's the number one buck I have on film so far. I know there are bigger in the woods my brother in law and I hunt. I wouldn't mind shooting that guy but I just got permission to hunt a late season spot again that had this guy on it last year and have unfinished business to take care of (it's connected to a metropark and no one else hunts it) only problem is they are building a house and I'm hoping it doesn't screw me up. So, I either hold off and start buck hunting late November when the guy let's me in or shoot that first buck if I get a shot. What would you guys do in my shoes?

Man what a good looking buck. Good luck
 
As of right now I've only got two does each with twins and two scrub bucks hanging around. So I'm not going out for a sit till probably next weekend. If the property I'm hunting this year follows the same pattern as last year I won't have anything showing up till around the 21st of October. I'm back to checking my cams every 3-4 days now in case something shows up earlier this year. I did notice 2 small rubs while on my way to check my cams today.
