Will take tomorrow to finalize getting everything ready. Pack my bag and what not. Of course all that will be after work! Took Friday off and plan to hunt the weekend as well. Just looking for some freezer fillers. Will likely wait from there til later in the month, or good cold fronts. Hope everyone enjoys their season. Be thankful. After this year I know I am.
At the end of every season, I find myself praying to god I get to go through another one. I don’t ever want them to end, I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to again, and I don’t ever take them for granted. Well here we are on the eve of another hunting season, we are blessed to enjoy. Thank god! No really, your first sit, whenever it may be, take a second to thank the man upstairs! After all, a lot of us will be 20ft closer, maybe he’ll hear us a little better!
Good luck everyone!

Wondering what’s y’alls strategies are with mock scrapes? When do you do them? Where do you put them? Scents?

Deerhunter you ever look on wyvern creations? Just took a peak at it. Never heard of it before now. I like what I see so far. I’ll spend some time on there this evening. Thanks for the heads up!

I made it. Even had time to Make sure the bow was still dialed in.
When we had snow on the ground in muzzy season this place was hot. Seeing 30+ deer 4 evening sits in a row. Either way this is it for me this year.

I’ve saw quite a few deer out in the fields feeding this morning. I can only think they’ll be doing the same this evening. I’m back to work today, but if i can get outta here at a decent time, I will give it one last hunt with the bow for a buck only this evening. Minerals and supplemental feed going out this weekend.

My buddy just recently (like within the week) bought 91 acres down there. Itll be managed strictly to deer hunt. Looking forward to next season no doubt. What part of County?? We got deer but like everywhere else a lot depends on adjoining landowners. Close to Meads Ridge over by the river.

I went South to the farm. No deer on this place, but they were piling out of the woods on the neighbors and spreading out all over the cut corn field. They didn't chop or chisel it like my farmer did..... There were at least a hundred Mourning Doves landing in the pines right after sunset. This has been my scenario since the snow hit. Except instead of the neighbors their piling into, it's my property! My field isnt chopped or chiseled either. I could literally watch deer from half mile away almost sprint through the bean fields to seemingly try to be the first to the corn. It was awesome to see!

I said i was done, I told the wife I was done, but that was only because i thought she had had enough this year. I'm still holding a buck tag from my bundle. This morning she asks me if I was going tomorrow. I told her I hadnt planned on it, planned to be done. But since she asked? That tells me she either didnt believe me when I said I was done, or she didnt hear me lol.
Either way I see me hitting it a few more times with the crossbow. I've got my cell cam set up in the corner of the field I've been seeing all the deer enter. I will monitor that. If I've got a buck or bucks coming in regularly I'll try to slip in on one. Out of the last 4 or 5 hunts there, I've saw well over 20 different bucks. Only 3 shooters.
Good luck out there fellas. Dont give up. We wait 9 months to get to do what we have the last 3. I always look forward to next year, but truth is we arent guaranteed it. We can only pray we get another shot.
I've enjoyed yalls company this year. I see you all as hunting buddies and friends. Although I've never met 99% of you and never will. We all chase the same dreams every season. I learn from you. I get advice from you. So on and so forth.
So heres a sincere thank you! Happy Holidays friends!

Was a slower evening for sure. With a little less than 10 minutes of legal light we saw our first deer, then second, and 3rd....so on and so forth. Stopped counting when the first one got close enough. Let the ole muzzy bark. She dropped in her tracks. The boys had a hay day! So grateful for the opportunity. I hope one day they look back on these memories like I do the ones I've made with my dad. We are all hungry and ready to get cleaned up! I'll post a pic later!

Well here we sit for what will most likely be the last hunt of the year. Tomorrow's my daughters birthday and I'll spend it with her.
Got my 2 boys with me. They are sitting together 65 yards across this cornfield from me. They are my eyes for the most part. I'm tucked into the fence row where these deer have been coming and going for the most part.
Bumped deer out of the field already. 5 does and a young buck. They dissapeared over the hill when they saw us, moments later from the neighboring woods....yep! Assuming he killed one of them lol. Your welcome buddy lol!
Good luck fellas!

Saw several deer this morning, including one good buck that was running a doe. She didnt bring him in close enough. Heading back out this evening with my 2 boys. This will be my last hunt of the year more than likely. If its brown it's down.
