I've hunted approximately half dozen times since the October heat wave that we had and right after the first cool weather front.

I've seen deer each time I've been out, including one decent mature buck encounter within 30 yards that I let walk mid morning.

At this point, I've harvested two good eaten antlerless deer. One on the 12th & the other on the 17th.

I have a fair amount of good old venison in the freezer now.

I ended up harvesting one good doe out of my first sit within my pop-up ground blind during the morning @ 20 yards and another big doe out my first sit in my climber during an evening hunt @ 35 yards.

I haven't hunted since my last harvest and I've been staying out of the woods ever since.

I won't be back out until the first week of November, which will include some all day sits during that time hunting for my buck.

Hope everyone else is enjoying their season TOO!

Planning to finally hit the woods on Sunday. Took Monday and Tuesday off as well. No prep, no cameras....so ill-prepared it makes me nauseated to think about it, but I'll finally be in the woods. I have almost 200 hours of vacation to take before Jan 5th so work isn't the issue, just the other commitments in life.
 
No luck this morning. Trying again tomorrow morning before work. It’s a couple miles away from where I was this morning so I’m hoping there’s more activity there. .
 
Congrats on the deer guys. Dad has checked the cameras a couple times. So far just small bucks, but a ton of does. The older bucks typically don't start hitting these areas until next week and later. I start my deer hunting vacation the 3rd.
 
I have only made it out a couple times. No shooters yet. Will start ramping up the tree time here soon. Plan on going out Wednesday evening then Saturday and Sunday. So far deer seem to be sticking to the picked fields at last light. That should change soon.

I have a funeral to go to Saturday and then something else Sunday evening. I’ll be out Saturday evening in one spot then Sunday morning in another. If I don’t shoot one this weekend I’m taking Monday off and hunting all day. I also think it’s about to get a whole lot better soon.
