I'm in the stand for a late afternoon hunt. I'm hunting a drainage bottom as far back in this property as you can get. This is where I missed a GIANT last year. It's really soggy, but not raining now. Got about 2 hours of good light left. Can't kill them from home. Check that...just started to rain.

25' high this morning. Hunting in rush co. Been breezy off and on. At times the wind cuts thru this valley..other times you could hear a pin drop. Its a whole lot cooler than its been all season hopefully its gets the deer up on their feet. Also to my liking, an on and off drizzle. I just love hunting in these conditions. My bloods a flowing this morning, just a good feelin. Ive got all day to do nothing but sit in this stand. Keep yall posted!

It's amazing how a steel mess seat above a 14x20" platform can give you that same "AWWW" feeling as your favorite chair at home can. feels go to be back on stand

My view was pretty blurred by leafy trees too. But I did see something on the walk out that got me motivated! Nice heavy buck track! Hope he sticks around. I have a mock scrape 22 yards east of my stand and his track was on the trail 19 yards to the west of the stand. I hope my trail cam by the scrape picked him up sometime

I ended up seeing a doe and two fawns... One fawn ate red oak acorns under a tree about 25 yards from me for over an hour. That is cool as it makes me sit more still and the young doe was my watch dog. I'd just watch her and watch her body language. When she would pop her head up and look down the woods I'd do the same. Mostly squirrels being seen.
Nice evening...

At my parents in Dearborn county. Approximately 68* with 5-10 mph east wind. Set up with food plot 30 yards to my left, grown up field in front, and rest pasture. Hoping to catch some coming out of cedar bedding area to the south. Great gun spot.
