Before I started using trail cameras I had no idea how many big deer were on the property I was hunting, I didn’t realize just how elusive big mature deer really are. It changed my mindset and the way I hunt.

Moving your stand just 20yds can make it a fresh sit.

Tomorrow afternoon is the first time ever that I will be hunting my own property, I’m super excited. I haven’t had any mature bucks on camera yet but with rut approaching anything is possible. Best of luck just get one under the belt take the edge off Can’t do it, I have a lot of work I want to do to this property, so this this season is just me enjoying hunting it so if a big one comes by great but if I get skunked that’s fine also.

I didn’t get drawn this year so if anyone was drawn for Ouabache I can tell you where a great spot is, it’s easy to get to and I had deer all around me.

Where is this park at? There is a park named the same near vincennes, however I don't believe it's a state park only a county park but as my signature states.... It’s a mile or two east of Bluffton.

My wife and I were finally able to buy a house with some acreage, 30 acres with 20 of it woods. It’s not as close as I would of liked but we couldn’t pass on the price. It’s about and hr northeast of Fort Wayne just into Michigan. I have all kinds of plans for it. My days are looking pretty busy for awhile. I haven’t been able to walk out my back door and hunt since I was a teen, super excited. What part or town is close Congrats I’m just northeast of pioneer.

Were any of you actually there? I was and there was no violence when I was there, that was from 10am to 4 pm. So your saying the reports of violence is false/fake? WoW... anything possible I guess! When I was there I didn’t see or hear of any violence.

I called it quits about 10. My toes were getting chilly. Broke a wire on my heated insoles and couldn't wear them. My feet warmed up nicely on the 1/2 mile walk back. I really want to hunt this same stand tomorrow morning but, they are forecasting a NW wind. Although light, but still NW. It'll be blowing my scent right to the woods. I have a box blind set up on a 20 acre spot that I hadn't hunted yet this year. I may give it a go tomorrow morning. It's my MIL birthday today so my wife and I are going to do a brief visit with her after lunch. Maybe try and setup to the left side of that first little area so that you’re off wind just a little.

I was kinda bummed out because I slept in and didn’t hunt this morning and wouldn’t you know it two nice bucks show ip on my trail camera at 10:30 so I hurried to my hunting area and bump one of those bucks on the way to my stand. I decided to walk back to the woods and hunt that instead of the edge of the bedding so I get set up and do some grunting and rattling hoping that I could call one of them in. I didn’t see a deer until around 4:30 and it was just fawns so they left and I grunted some more, I didn’t see anything so at 5:25 I grunted and did a snort wheeze. About 5 minutes later a doe and a spike come and go so It’s starting to wind down and I’m thinking well no deer for me tonight, I’m just sitting there waiting for darkness and I see movement in front of me 100yds or so away and sure enough it’s a nice buck. He came by at 40ish yds and I put an arrow thru him he only ran 50-60yds and piled up. I think he’s a dandy. I’ll post pictures later. So how do I post pictures lol

Got a picture of two nice bucks at 10:30 this morning near where I park so I went to my hunting area as soon as I could, I got there around 12:30 and I have to walk by that camera. Wouldn’t you know it a good sized buck jumps up and bounds away. I was trying to be stealthy but when I stopped to put doe pee on my scent drag that’s when he took off. I need to pay better attention to my surroundings when I walk. Live and learn lol.
