Any you old timers out there remember your hunting mentor (my dad) putting you in a tree at dark and saying don’t move until I get back after dark? No cell phones and zero communications with each other. I can’t imagine now not being able to communicate with my kids in the woods. Simpler times yes but so nice now. One of them just shot by the way.

Just killed an eight that came in and started chasing the doe that had been under my stand for 45 minutes.

Sounds like the orange army is executing an all out land invasion. I don't think I have ever heard so many shots.

A deer just came in from behind me and blew. We can't see one another so no idea if was a buck or a doe.

I had a perfect plan to go into the bow-only area of the public piece I hunt next to a huge bedding area in hopes that any deer that were scared by gunshots would pile in there... COVID had other plans. 😡 I don’t feel horrible and was thinking about going anyway, but decided the wise thing to do would be to rest. I will be living vicariously through you guys today. Good luck and safety to all!

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!
