Just thought I would get this thread going this year. Had a lone fawn come through at 8:50. Around 10 had a young coyote sneak in. I thought it was a cat at first just because how small it was. Had 2 does pass my stand on a full sprint at 11:15. They passed at 15yds. Went to the house for lunch from 12-2. Back out now. Squirrels are as bad as ever and nuts seem to be dropping from the hickorys in full force

Nice! Sounds like a good amount of action. The squirrels have been going at it for sure. I thought about next time going out I'll bring my break action with me and pop a few off...knowing how it goes tho when I decide to do that there won't be any squirrels. Anyways, best of luck for the rest of your hunt!

Squirrels are crazy here too.
At 8:30, I had 3 does bedded down in front of me at 38 yards. They decided to get up around 10:30. I had a shot at two of them but I thought they were a bit small. At 11:40 I went to lunch, got back to my spot at 1:30. I started putting my harness on and a doe jumped up and wheezed at me. She took off and I haven't seen but one tiny one since.
On my way back from lunch I saw a huge buck in the back of some guys truck. The antlers were sticking way out the top of his truck bed. It was a dark rack.
We need a freeze, bugs are bad!
Good luck to all.
Mike

Been a rainy morning. Got absolutely poured on but I stuck it out, hopefully it pays off! I'm sitting in a funnel between bedding areas and picked corn behind me, wooded ridge to my left that heads out to a picked bean field with an old gravel pit to my right. I sit patiently waiting!

At 7:30am I had 3 doe come down the edge of a bean field, get within 100yds of me and then cut inside the woods after eating persimmons off the ground on the field edge...I'm hunting where the corn meets the beans...this has been my first morning out since I took a youth hunting over youth weekend...good luck to all!

It's my first sit (for myself) of the year. It's really warm and rainy, I'm sitting in my shooting house on the food plots here on my Metamora lease. I don't really expect to see many (if any) deer in these conditions...but I'm hopeful for turkey. Several Toms were using this field throughout much of the day last weekend, plucking up fresh clover sprouts from our food plots. If they come out this week, I have a crossbow bolt to show them,

Just heard a deer run in from up out of the holler behind me. Came in close and stopped. Has not stepped out where I can see. Still waiting on turkeys. They usually don't hit this field until late morning/early afternoon.
It's bright and sunny here now, by the way. Has not rained for 2 hours.

Snuck out of blind at 11 to grab a quick bite. There were half a dozen turkeys down by the pond as I drove out. That's where they were hanging last weekend before they hit the field. Needless to say, it was a very short lunch break and I'm back in the blind now with high hopes!

No deer here this morning. Had a couple of hens sound off shortly after 8am, one sounded like she was coming my way but never got close enough to see her. Got down mid morning and did a little scouting; 2 sets of pretty fresh droppings about where I was expecting to see deer come through. Busted a hen coming out. I've decided where that ladder stand I bought is going.
