Well I haven't hunted since taking 2 deer the weekend before thanksgiving and I don't think I'm gonna go freeze tomorrow morning for the final day. This was only my 2nd deer season and it was great. Not only because I "caught " 2 deer lol. It was much more than that. The lessons I learned and experienced I gained have been very valuable.

Good luck to those still at it, I start seeming them up around 430pm from the house. They are definitely moving before dark. I have moved on to fish structures, turkeys and cleaning up guns/muzzleloaders/clothes/crossbow.

We hunted yesterday afternoon and started seeing deer at 3 pm. Ended up seeing 23. My 9 year old missed two different does.

Header out for the last hunt of the season.
I'll have the rifle on one side and the bow on the other. If it's brown it's down!

Well headed out for the last hoorah! Conventional hunting hasn't helped me out a whole lot so far so today I'm trying something different. Little more risky getting in on their bedding area. But, what have I got to lose!

Set up on the ground with my Caldwell Fieldpod. I'm on the northwest corner of a hardwoods ridge that runs east and west. The deer funneled out of it yesterday afternoon and into a cut corn field to feed. I'm only hoping they do the same. Ice pellets are now falling. I'm the red "X". The green arrow indicates their travel path off the ridge and into the cut corn.

I'm finishing my season vicariously through you, my son and a few other fellow hunters as I sit here watching the playoffs since my season ended last night!

Quiet here except for an owl. Seems early for that. Hoping for some activity as legal light expires. No precipitation or wind yet

Good job! I quit deer hunting Thanksgiving weekend after I shot a buck. Too many other things I would rather chase or do to be die hard like you guys fighting it out to the bitter end.
Here is to next year!

Our final 30 minutes Jim! Haven't seen a thing yet Brandon, I stayed until the bitter end. LOL! I'll take that recipe please for tag soup. Still was a good season. Helped my grandson get his first deer. Means more than me getting one. Wanda has some venison round steak chili going in the crock pot. Wish you and Daphne were closer to us. We would have you over for dinner!

It ain't over 'till it's over. Couldn't get out this weekend, but I still have 2 places in the deer reduction zones that I might hit one evening.
