Finally an evening hunt with some sunshine, it's been overcast seems like forever. I'm feeling hopeful that something with antlers makes an appearance tonight and maybe it'll be the one I've been chasing since October. I'm not going to call him a target buck but he's a good one but if one makes a showing that interest me I'll take a shot at him too.

After getting a doe in early October, things died up. Once gun season started, the deer on the property I hunt seemed to only show up at night. Pre-gun season they were on camera during legal hours. I was thinking that I'd not get another chance. Well this morning about 7:45, I see a small 8 come through the pasture and headed my way. He stopped briefly 15 yards in front of my stand. I sent a rage broadhead thru the boiler works. 50 yards later he was down. He left a heavy blood trail from where I shot him for a good 10 yards. I think I'll hang it up for 2023. God is good and blessed us with 2 in the freezer.

Checked out a chunk of public ground I hadn't set foot on until this afternoon, pretty impressive, actually. Cousin is coming over for New Year's Eve and we're having quesadillas, so I am done for 2023! Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday are still available and I fully intend to have at least one more sit,if not, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the woods! Happy New year, fellow sportsmen!

Sitting in my living room watching TV. My motion detector front porch light came on. I got up and looked out the window. Single file I watched 7 does and fawns walk across my front yard.

Not quite live from the woods but went out about 30 min ago to get an armload of wood for the woodburner and watched a doe and 2 yearlings run/ fast trot accross front yard. Not a normal thing. I see deer once or twice a year here at the house.

I'm hoping to take the crossbow out one last time before the season is over, but we have yet to see if that will happen. We all caught some nice "stuff" over the holidays.

A lot going around, have 3 friends with Covid. That just went thru our work. Two tested positive, and the rest of us didnt test. We just let it run its course amongst ourselves and families. Everybody had same symptoms, and bounced back in couple days.

A lot going around, have 3 friends with Covid. I'm the only one that tested positive but all my family here at home has symptoms and some relatives had "colds" at Christmas but they tested negative. And a friend had been sick as well but I don't think she tested.

url=https://postimg.cc/8jWkmbV8] [/url] i.postimg. Went thru the cell camera pictures tonight and found a couple pictures of the buck I got this year. I did not know he was there as I did not pull cards till after I got him. There was a couple other decent bucks on the cards from December so I may get a shot at a good deer this comming season. Well crap. Something did not work right. Gona see if I can fix it.

Really random question for everyone: have you guys gotten pictures of fox squirrels in the middle of the night? I have never gotten pictures of squirrels outside of day light hours, however, lately I have been getting pictures of squirrels (primarily fox squirrels) at all times of the night. Just wondering if this is fairly normal or if it’s odd to anyone else.
