Took the son of the landowner I hunt on out. Textbook hunt. Heard him on the roost. Set up in a blind maybe 100 yards away in the woods with 2 decoys. After maybe 30 minutes of sporadic calling he gobbled very close. Ended up being 2 toms. He rolled one at 30 yards. Walking back to truck now. You spoiled him rotten! Good job youngster!!! His dad and I both reiterated to him it's not always that easy which he understood. Only about 17#, but 10" beard and 1" spurs. It felt double that walking out with the blind, gun, chair and other gear

Almost live from the stand. I walked into a late season go-to spot of mine on HNF with poor cell coverage. Settled into my saddle about 20 minutes before dawn. About a half hour after sunrise I saw a group of deer on adjacent ridge. Ended up being a buck chasing a doe. Following them was a second doe. Shot at her about 65 yards away from the left side of the tree, which was downhill. Immediately after the shot I saw a close limb swinging so I knew I clipped it. I couldn't see her reaction due to the smoke, but I saw a white flash uphill. Climbed down and found blood at the shot site. I looked downhill, the way she came from, but nothing. Eased uphill following a little blood until I found her maybe 40 yards away. Hard to see blood in the wet leaves. She must've been that white flash I saw on the right, uphill side of the tree. Got her quartered, cooled and packed out back to the truck now. Still have a KY buck tag to try for this week. Congratulations Thanks. I told a coworker I'd try to get them a doe, so glad it worked out.

Probable 3 year old on camera yesterday already shed one side. Body looked in good condition so idk why he shed so early.

Hunted with my oldest tonight. Saw a few does, a 4-point and a flock of turkeys. Hopefully bigger buck shows up next time.

Just had 4 point walk by at 20 yards. Not sure if he was the same one I saw earlier.

Seen 2 small bucks and a nice 10 so far. 10 may have been a shooter but I think he saw me turn my head about 60 yards out and he shied away from me.

I'm settled into my stand. Cams showed a good amount of movement last night. No shooters, but hopefully they are around.

Back in Indiana climbing the stand at my house and saw what looked a good buck chasing a doe on the neighbor's property. I must've lost my crossbow crank handle in KY so $40 for another one on Amazon. Cocking it the old fashioned way is a chore. Definitely an eye opener to get the string all the way back and not just past the dry fire catch.

I've been hunting in KY since Saturday. Very slow movement. One buck chasing a doe on Saturday has been about it. Set up for a few hours this morning.

2 small bucks harassing a doe in cornfield. She wanted nothing to do with them.

Hunted a couple hours behind my house tonight but only saw 1 squirrel. Two nice bucks, I would estimate 3.5 year olds, visited my scrape cam the last couple days. I freshened the scrape up with some Mountain Dew infused pee of my own.
