Bust today, no turkeys to watch either. Just darn squirrels. Nephew is ready for next weekend though. Wife not so much. The end of my 9 day vacation is over. I have work tomorrow at least I'll get 2 extra hours of sleep tonight. Put the camera up on one of the trails that run down onto my ridge. Hope to see the 8pt running back there after this week, fear some of the shots we heard very well may have been him though.

Good Morning, me and the nephew are in the blind. If it's brown it's down for him. If there are two I'm taking the follower. Unless it a buck it's his... Good luck stay warm all!

Life gives you squirrels make gravy.
Took my Nephew this am for a little lesson for tomorrow. We had a new doe walk out in front of the natural blind. I asked him... He said no. Smh. I shoulda put some meat on the table. 25 yds and closing she got wind and started stomping and blowin.g

Around 9:20 AM the rain was coming down good in Owen co. I look off to my left overlooking the ridge I normally sit on and see a buck coming my way through the thicket. He cut off to the right through more thick stuff and disappeared without a shot. I sat longer though I couldn't hunt the whole day nothing else moved. Had to be the 8 I have on camera from the 4th he is still alive, and I will be hunting him until he or bigger slips up and gets put down.
HAD I STAYED ON MY RIDGE HE WOULDA BEEN DOWN! Still having a pitty party lol...

Bust today, the camera on the same ridge as the nati blind had 0 activity for a week. Spot was still dead. After 12pm I hiked back to the truck and went across the road and sat about 200 yds back in my secondary spot it's really only good for east winds. Around 430pm some yayhoo decided to target practice around 200 shots with a 8-9 round mag? No more than 150 yds from where my truck was but he was at the next pull off. I left about 5:15pm... Shot 3 deer with my finger on the drive home. Lol.

Headed out in the AM. I guess my uncle went this morning without me and sat in my spot. I sure hope he didn't spook the deer today. Wich I have my suspicions after talking to him. Lol.
Last time he did that though I shot an 8 pointer the next morning. So we will see.

I started my morning early. I got up and made the same breakfast my dad use to get when we'd meet up before a hunt. I drank my coffee from his mug and sat in his deer stand. Just a couple minutes after I posted the pic of the sunrise I heard running in the cut corn behind me. Nice buck stopped at 17 yards. I didn't even have my rifle off the hook yet. I grabbed it, found him in the cross hairs and squeezed. He ran 20 yards and tipped over. I walked back to get my vehicle and strip down half my clothes. He's not a monster buck but, he's what I'm happy with. I truly couldn't be more pleased. I still have a doe tag to fill but, I'll fill it on a different farm. Good luck everyone! Way to go man! Congrats.

Haven't been back to the woods since Halloween, I am really slacking. Work locations changed for me this year so it's weekends/weather permitting/ kids. Looking forward to tomorrow. Hope the deer are moving in my neck of the woods, I have a trail cam out there to show me what I've been missing. Would like to seal the deal on one. Thanksgiving weekend I will hit it hard. 4 days of PTO to use but I do not have a good team to just leave the work to them... Sigh.

I skipped this weekend, was hard to do with the deer seen last Saturday, and no go last Sunday. Debating on throwing down some PTO days this week. Otherwise will be on Saturday.
