Good. Luck Just keep this in mind a lot of us have hunted for years and still have yet to put a big one on the wall. And they all taste good big or small Yup, I know. I'm just holding out for one I want now. And quite frankly it could be tonight or in 10 years but I'll wait for the one that I want.

Anyone who's hunting in urban seeing anything? Got a nice Doe down yesterday in Evansville. My hunting Buddy did as well. Both down by 7am. Thank Goodness because it got hot quick.

Well, season opener is just a little over a day away and no posts in the deer section of the forum for the past 9 hours, so I'll bump this thread to the top.
I scouted some yesterday afternoon, found a few persimmon trees just loaded down with fruit. I think I'll hunt those an evening or 2 next week.
I shot my bow last night, feeling pretty good about that. Changed a strap out on a ladder stand. Laid out my hunting clothes.
As of right now I think I'll get in a very short hunt Sunday morning before church, then be out Sunday evening for a good sit.

I noticed it was awful quiet here too. Figure everybody is tying up loose ends getting ready. I plan on a Sunday morning hunt to capitalize on a very friendly temp forecast of upper 30's in the NW. Then mid 80's again next week. So it will take an awesome deer for me to pull the trigger on the xbow, knowing I would have to hurry with processing.

I hunted at my urban last night. Wind never did quite die down like I'd hoped. No deer seen on stand. Saw one getting dressed at the car. I'll be out tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

Not seeing any movement on cams I pulled this week. Might skip Sunday. Going to put up a stand today.

I'm torn between holding out for the monster buck I'm after and getting some meat in the freezer.

Anymore I don't feel the need for freezer meat so lots of deer walk past me but sometimes freah backstraps certainly call out to me!

Anymore I don't feel the need for freezer meat so lots of deer walk past me but sometimes freah backstraps certainly call out to me! That's the problem, I want both. I have 3 tags to fill and tomorrow's only the first day of the season. I don't really know what I'll do until it happens. I'm leaning towards getting one in the freezer the first opportunity I have then waiting for the big boy. I also want to get one off of public land so I have a few goals for myself, we'll see how it plays out over time I suppose.

I'm torn between holding out for the monster buck I'm after and getting some meat in the freezer. This time of year, I only think about doe hunting. A buck is just a tiny glimmer in the dark recesses of my mind. Sure, if a big buck happens to walk by in October, I'll do my best to get it, but I don't really give them much thought until Halloween.

Bring a good CO next time you hunt. I have been through that and it sucks
