Rough watching guys go through town with quads in tow for the morning opener while I am driving to work. Wishing I was in the woods.....

Could of took a point an called in this morning man was I close too! Three guys off an three others called in! Thankfully work is flying by so far! Can't wait to be in the stand tonight! This will be my third year bow hunting I have passed on does, shot at a buck but cleanly missed. I really want my first one to be a buck with my bow, I don't think I'll pass on a mature doe. This year I feel more prepared then ever. Tons of pratice shooting now that I have a backyard! Will post pic of my spot tonight.

Sure is nice to be out again. Haven't seen a single deer yet, but that's okay!

I'm at work, but with an East wind, I'm probably not missing anything other than a beautiful view.

Spooked a doe at 9 a.m. when I moved just a tad. She didn't blow or flag so I was hopeful she'd circle back around. No such luck. I am done til Friday morning. Weather and wind was PERFECT. Will be in stand or blind next, the two hours made me fidgitity.

Had a button buck walk in and around the tree I was in. He left on the trail I came in on. About an hour later I caught a glimpse of a buck as it went by out of range. It had a decent body size but I never got a good look at the rack. Other than that it was squirrels and chipmunks.

Hard to do an update when the phone is sitting on the kitchen counter and I'm in the tree.......
No deer, had a huge flock of grackles/blackbirds in the trees around me for about an hour. Couldn't hear a deer walking in the woods if I wanted to!
Pulled the camera by the other stand and had 2 bucks walk by it at 30 yds @ 7:30 a.m. One had 4 on one side, one, maybe 2 on the other and the other buck was a basket 4 point.
I'll be back out this evening. Like others, I probably saw 10-15 squirrels this a.m.

Just got settled in. The farmer to the east is harvesting beans. Hopefully that won't hurt.

Well I had three does come in this morning. Took a shot on one and shot high. Rifht after the shot another deer took off running that I had no idea was even there! She was probably 10 yards away. Went home and watched the video and sure enough you can see her just hanging out while I'm focused on the other one

I shot my biggest net score buck (the one in my avatar photo) not 50 yards into the woods from a corn field that was actively being harvested while I was hunting. When we got there and saw the combines in the field we were bummed and almost went to a different place. I'm sure glad we didn't!
