In the stand all day yestrday and this morning. Seen a small spike and a doe. Not many people around area 42 seeing anything. Sign is hard to find and both days have had someone walk in on me. I would think seeing a truck would give an idea someone is there

Saw nothing last night; took the morning off because of the due east wind. DUB is back for the evening hunt tonight. With the wind shifting S to SE this evening the stands are back in play, I'll put him in the double; there is an area with lots of acorns and a handful of tracks I haven't checked out yet; I think I'm going to try it.

Forgot flashlight, so probably in bad spot. Lol! Forgot my headlamp in the land owner home last night but I know the property really well don't really have to use one. last night I seen 3 doe. Sat on the ground this morning an hunted the back of the wood. Seen 2 doe across about 70yards away dead in front of me. First time sitting on the ground need to bring a butt cushion next time. I got up early leg numb and butt sore, walked the trails see fresh tracks. I keep walking down the trail then "pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" scares the crap out me every time they blow up at me. It was 2 does they ran off.

Would you guys hunt a 60 yrd wide grove between soybeans along the Ohio river or go deep in the woods above the bottoms where acorns are?

I watched my hunting buddy baptize his youngest daughter at church this morning and after a celebratory lunch I made it down to the Franklin County lease. The big buck I saw here last Friday evening has been haunting my thoughts, so, with the predicted wind, I decided to set up a blind in the SW corner of the field near where he came out just before last light a few days ago. I've watched a few other deer come out down in this area as well. If they do it tonight I'll be sitting in a great spot for a 40 yard or less shot. Fingers crossed! Here is my set. This pic shows the location of my set up with this evening's predicted wind. The other night, the buck emerged from the upper right portion of the "v" shaped shadow you see in front of my location. He walked out to where he could survey the does out in the middle of the field then slowly walked back into the woods on a logging road at the bottom end of the "v".
