Went by the property today. No human tracks in the snow so I am guessing that the other hunters have called it a season. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. Just to refresh my memory, does only until I get one? Right? Earn a buck is still the rule?

Get out there before Sunday if you can. Massive cold front coming down from Canada with the jet stream dipping way far South. Up here depending on which South Bend station you watch, highs on Sunday could be 14 or 6.

Saw 6 again in one group at 3:23pm yesterday on the way home from work. They look to be pretty consistently hitting that field. Too bad it is not in a reduction zone or someone would have some easy pickin's.

May try the morning on Friday too.

Not a deer biologist and I don't care to understand the nature of deer ways but I do know a good sign when I see one.
Took the dog out for her run today and saw 3 fresh as in last night scrapes and fresh damage to the trees they were under.
I am hoping a buck might a have a last minute chance at a doe that may not have been bred as of yet.

None seen today but a ton of tracks. I realized that this snow is only four to five days old. So, I am encouraged. Back at it Friday morning. Another positive was there are no human foot prints on the property. Just me for the remainder of the season, I hope. Saw a blind that the weight of the snow destroyed, A couple of nice chairs inside. I passed on them. LOL!

Well, parrothead how many hours on stand did you get in this season? I hope he replies. I am curious to see what the final tally is. Amazing amount of time he puts in the stand each season.

Didn't see any on the drive home yesterday, so drove around a bit and saw some coming out right at dark last night. Hope things go better for you Friday!! It should be with the colder front coming in for the weekend.

I'll sit the weekend out and pick two or three days for next week.
