Skunked this evening.
Doe and fawn in the beans on the walk out but nothing from the stand.
Buddy with me saw 5 does from his stand.
Not real surprising with 70* and a pretty stiff wind most of the afternoon.

I'm in the camper at the Franklin County lease preparing to go to one of my best stands. The WNW winds are perfect for it. The wind was howling when I got here late last night. It was rocking the camper. Seems to have calmed down a lot this morning.

The wife and I are in a ground blind in jackson county. She is going to try and get her first deer with her new Xbow. Wind is blowing from the N shouldn't hurt us too bad. The woods are very calm and quit but it sounds like i have a bear in the blind with me, someone's stomach is growling I guess she should of eaten before we left. We should have a good hunt only thing that will stop us is her apatite.

Weds and Thurs deer were out everywhere, of course other obligations keep me from going. Went last night and saw nothing. Weather man said clear skies all weekend and wake up to it raining. They blew another forecast.

Could not dial up better conditions. Just need deer to read script. It's prime time now. Putting game face on. See you on the other side!

Back in HNF where I shot my doe last weekend. This time my son is with me ready to strike with his crossbow. Just need the deer to cooperate.

Down at Big Oaks on the primitive hunt. Dad missed a doe w his flintlock at about 30 yards. It was raining when we left the truck and he forgot to charge the pan. Heard several shots so far. Kinda windy.

Sat till 11. Saw one doe and two spikes. Also, unfortunately, the South end of a North bound putting turkey. Hunting buddy is joining me soon. We're going to do lunch and hit the woods again this evening. I did a little light scouting on the walk in and did see several fresh rubs. They were sort of half-hearted rubs, not the "I'm so horny I'm going to shred this tree to sawdust" kind. Going to go back to the same stand for the evening. I left my Xbow and backpack hanging there.

No Wheeze. We are up on H road. I think it's gonna be tough narrowing down the deer this year due to the large amount of nuts. No real distinct trails here, it's like they are just wondering around vacuuming up the nuts. Did find one pretty good rub and 2 nice scrapes. Debating on what to do this evening.

Hunted the oak flat this morning where I left my climber last night. Broke the zipper on my jacket as soon as I tried to zip it up at my vehicle in the dark. Got almost to my stand when my flashlight dimmed out, so I dug my GPS out of my pocket (since the coordinates were stored in it), but it had me so turned around that I thought I was going to just have to sit down until daylight. Luckily I was able to make out a fallen tree and knew that my stand was near it.
Got sprinkled on a little for a few moments, even though there was no rain in the forecast. Had three HUGE does walk past at a brisk pace 49 yards upwind of me at 8:56 AM. They were on some sort of a mission, but weren't spooked. I still call it a success, considering that the tree I chose yesterday was within 30 yards of where I needed to be this morning. On hundreds of acres, 30 yards is pretty good.
The bad luck continued when I had "the feeling" before exiting my stand at 11:00 AM, and had no toilet paper on me. There was no way that I was going to make it hundreds of yards back to my vehicle, so I did the only thing that I could. LOL!

I stayed in this morning. Wind is 10-15 mph, they were calling for rain and we've had 1/2" so far - all lake effect rain showers. Supposed to calm down a bit for tomorrow, with a low of 32°F tonight. If there's no rain in the forcast I'll be out in the a.m. but I have to work tomorrow afternoon.
