We're gonna venture to new spot that my son and I visited last year. Going to try to put something on the ground in the morning for the team.

I had to bail early today. Had a family get together with out of towners. Saying rain overnight, so taking my boy to BP and Cabelas in the morning, then hunting the afternoon tomorrow. Cant wait!

Around here, whoever didn't go hunting didn't miss much. I saw both deer and turkeys out and about on the drive in, once in the stand they must have morphed into chipmunks, squirrels and blue jays. One forkhorn @ 40 yds, might have been the same one that was under my stand this morning. This morning it was so still out I could hear him breathing.
This evening they called for rain, and the radar showed it, but it was so light that if you were under a tree with leaves, you stayed 95% dry. I bailed a few minutes after sunset, figuring that with the rain, if I were to shoot one tracking it would be difficult because by the time I'd get down to start the track, it'd be dark and the blood would be thinned by the rain.
With the rain forecast for tomorrow morning, I will get a lot of chores done. If the rain quits in the afternoon I'll go back out.
Congrats to the successful hunters!

The weather man is calling for 55% chance of rain but I live in the Ohio Valley so I'm getting up at 4 in the morning and checking outside. If it's not raining we headed to the woods. I've come to realize there are 3 types of people in this world a person cant trust, a weatherman, a doctor and a politician π.

I'm getting up in the morning as if I'm going to hunt depending on what's going on with the weather. If the rain is light enough I will head out. If not I'll go back to sleep and try again later.

If my wife wasn't going with us in am, junior and I would pick you up for a quick road trip. But she has been so good to me thru this recent family crisis, I owe her a Cracker Barrel breakfast. Good luck when you get out.

Ok. So finally got home and deer is hanging had some food and a shower. So I got up my tree around 4 o,clock in the afternoon and settled in. I replied about the tractor path coming by my stand,which the squirrels love by the way. It is so thick in there with the invasive honeysuckle seeing 10 yards is tough, Any way about 6:30 i catch movement 40 yards over under an oak tree,couldn't tell what it was though. Kept an eye in that direction for around 10 minutes and caught a flash of white moving. 10 minutes later he is making his way towards me so I have the bow ready and he steps out at the tractor path 20 yards away slightly quartered to me I am at full draw forever and he won't turn broadside. So I settled the pin and let it fly. 60 yards later he was piled up. Heart shot but broke my arrow. 130 inch 8 point for one arrow on my first sit of the year is an awesome trade!!

I hope all is well and good luck!

It wasn't raining so hard when I left the house but it's coming down pretty decent now. I made it to the blind dry but it might be a few hours until the rain calms down. I'm already in so wait it out it is. Good luck to everyone making it out this morning!
