4 deer in the cut corn field across the street when I pulled in. Sitting in a waist high grass field on the edge of the bean field. Hoping they make their way across to me, but I brought my squirrel gun just in case.

I might go out on Saturday since there's still no ducks around. I'm debating on picking up a turkey tag. I saw 6-7 when I was out there last weekend picking up one of my trailcams. Ended up with a pic of the buck I shot this year just a few days before I got him.

Deer never made it across the road, but there must have been 30 squirrels playing tag. They were legitimately throwing each other from tree tops. After the sixth shot that I missed, I was in disbelief so I packed up and left. Now I’m not one of those guys that makes a lot of excuses, if I miss then I miss, but this felt different. So I grabbed my son and his 22 and we drove out to the range. My first shot at 50 meters was about 8 inches to the right. Two shots later and I was really giving that 10 ring what for. Swapped paper and these were my last 10 shots at 50 meters on a 10 meter air pistol target. I won’t miss the next one!

It's damp and misty here in Clay county, but I have a decent wind and the day off, so I am going to give it a shot! Good luck to anyone else still crazy enough to be hunting!

Well I'm still grinding it out. Got a late start this morning, but I'm posted up. Have 2 different trails going to and from some nasty thick cover. Wind IS NOT being very nice to me with a whirlwind effect going on. I've hunted this particular spot many times in the past and have been lucky. This is my 1st sit this year for this location so just maybe I can tag out and call it quits.

So my wife texted me she’s got a pot of hot coffee and some homemade fresh cinnamon buns about to come out of the oven.
What to do?
Cold windy wet miserable
Or hot coffee and cinnamon buns?
Hmm
I’d like to report the hot coffee and cinnamon buns are awesome. 😎

Same here. I hadn't seen any squirrel but, I thought I heard one behind my blind skurrying around. No deer yet.
Last night was wet and sort of crumby with NW winds. 4 for came out on the opposite side of the field then 4 more came out a couple hundred yards west of me. The sun is trying to shine here in central Jasper County and winds are out of the SW. Perhaps the deer will come out a little closer this evening.
Good luck, hunt safe and God bless!
