Had an interesting experience in bo today. Someone in area 37 shot a doe fawn and either couldn't find it or decided to leave it. My buddy wanted to check out the area that they had vacated, so we moved to that spot. He went and set up and there she laid about 20 yards in front of him. He called me and we decided to gut, check, and donate it. That ended our day without seeing a deer from the stand, but with one in the truck. We will be there this weekend as well. Elmo, did they have the donation truck there again? Any idea how many they had checked in?

No donation truck. I ran it out to Pates and it will go to a church downtown for their food bank. We didn't ask about how many were checked in as it was only 4pm.

Any recommendations on a good motel in the area that still might have vacancies?

Stayed at the Best Way Inn last year. It was full of hunters. Tell them you are hunting and they will give you a better rate.

The super 8 in Madison is the same way, call them and ask for the hunters discount.

I am drawn for zone 39, 11/19-20. Anyone familiar with the area? No scouting makes for an interesting hunt, but I am fine with that. Hope I can find it in the dark. Looks like west on H road should do the trick

Anybody else see the video of the bear recorded here recently at Big Oaks? Buddy of mine shared it.
