That's a wrap for this years youth hunt for us. Nothing this morning. Conditions were excellent, and it felt right. Just no deer to join the party. I'll get Luke back out a couple times later in the year. Good luck anybody else out enjoying it.
Oh, on the way home yesterday, we seen a mature eagle on a branch over the road. Awesome sight!

Dang blackbird keeps flying to a tree about 60yds out, and is plucking berries or something. The branch shakes, and I get startled everytime, HOPING it's a buck rubbing or any deer out there. You'd think I'd catch on by now, lol, but staying optimistic.

Luke said he wanted to avoid the warm temps and wait till morning to hunt again. Fine with me, because I'm running on about 2.5 hours of sleep, and then a half hour nap. I'm still recovering from a brief illness this week that took the wind out of my sails. Pushing thru it to keep the weekend normal. Stay hydrated your see a difference….Tomorrow am will be a lot better hunt IMO Yes sir, you got that right!

Couldnt buy any better weather. 55deg when we started, and still only 57deg. Dang skurries are dancing around dropping acorns. Couple hit out tin roof and we about jumped out of our skin. Lol. No other action yet. Not staying too much longer for this sit, got plenty to do this weekend.

Had something crunch thru next to us. We are in our shooting shack on a little food plot. Can only see due west. We probably miss action that skirts around the plot in the woods, but hard to beat the comfort and cover of the shack.

Jeez, could it get any worse?
I am pretty content with both my bb gun and rubber band gun. They will hold me over thru the rest of my career. 😇

Unfortunately, the tighter they wrap bows with high speed, the more problems they have. Not knowing what bow you have, we cant pass judgement yet, but most are cranked up pretty good nowadays.
I am more than content with my bows, 330 fps and ultra reliable for years. Same with my recurve Excals, no problems. Shooting a heavier arrow has to help soak up some of the shock.

I'll carry my ladder stands as far as I have to. When I cant go any farther, that's where I'll be hunting from. Lol.
Good luck.
