Typical 2nd day at park hunt, not much shooting. We are pulling the plug shortly to yank stands and hunt private land tonight. It was a very dismal hunt regarding deer sightings. I only saw the 2 that I got, and that's ok. Just think they need to give parks a couple year break.

Killed a small 8 in my reduction woods at 7 this morning. He came in with a doe and the shot was about 90 yards. My season is now over. Good luck to everyone still at it.

Completely dead so far here at Shades, not sure how much longer I am going to make it.

Hunted three hours this morning in the woods and saw nothing but squirrels.
Since opening day I've seen quite a few does, one small spike buck, and a bobcat.
For the first time since I bought my property in 2003, I've seen no rut activity in gun season so far. It's like the rut ended before opening day. Chalk another anomaly up to 2020.

I think there was a little rut two weeks ago just before the hot weather. I think it's going to get better after this wind. I see next couple days looking good. My neighborhood is slowest ever in 28 years. I typically have 3 small scrapes under my oak trees. Nothing this year. Just today that 4 pointer was the 1st one. Very strange.

Esshup - was the cause of the "click" determined? No round in chamber or did it not fire? FTF. I found the round nose down in the dirt at the base of the stand today. It DOES have a mark on the primer where the firing pin hit. I will shoot that same round tomorrow to see if it goes bang. If it does, I'll take the bolt/firing pin/firing pin spring out and degrease everything so that it will work when it gets cold out.

If you put in the JP trigger and hammer spring kit, that could be it too. Our other buddy at the park just told me he had same thing happen yesterday to him. We use those springs in ours, and since everything is lightened up, research shows that can happen.

That's right. I think you bobbed one of mine? My other 2 came with the light hammer. Will inquire on his. Thanks.

Anyone ever forgot a coat? Smh. I ended up layering up in what I had in the truck, and said “just send it “. Decided to sit against a tree on the ground behind the homeowners barn, but 5 feet from the cut beans behind some weeds. From here I can shoot both places I’ve seen bigguns in the last week, and a lot more. I can also see my food plot. Definitely need to stick a permanent blind over here for days when I want to be comfy and take the long gun. Good luck if you’re out there !

Roofers have one truck left and they are finished. No driver. Looks great. Next will be the gutters and siding. After 28 years the white does not look very good. Hopefully, not tomorrow or at not until noon. I will be in my backyard stand bow hunting. Taking a doe or a real big buck. I have one on my hit list. Haven't seen the buck since early October.

I've been on stand for 15 minutes now. I've got a grey squirrel down the hill from me just barking and "crying" away. I wish he'd settle down. LOL!

At another place tonight, long ride for me. In a stand overlooking a corner in the woods. First hunt of the year in this location, and already seen a doe when pulling in. Expecting to fill the 2 bonus tags here tonight!
