Still a little warm in Monroe County but it’s dropping quick. Very very calm. I got set up super late due to traffic. Snuck in nice and quiet, no deer spooked that I could see! Sitting in the stand with the bow tonight.

I saw a couple does last night. Changed brake pads in the dark to get ready for the Montana trip. Hunted and saw a couple does this morning. At work now, going out again around 3. Then loading the car in the dark. Pulling out and heading west at 3 AM. Have a safe trip and keep us updated. Good luck!

Well the crows are back, so much for calm. At least a few hundred in the soy bean field. Definitely hurting my chances. I’ll take this time to show off my new bow. Found a used Hoyt Pro Defiant on Facebook. The guy shipped it from Cali last week. I threw a whisker biscuit, trophy ridge stabilizer, and a cheap single pin sight on it. This thing is my favorite one yet. Picture was taken on the 13th, the day I got it all put together, thus no hunter orange.

I know a lot of guys spend big money on their rest and call me nuts for using one but I still swear by a whisker biscuit

I had the whole bow setup and sighted in 45 minutes thanks to the whisker biscuit and Dfx draw length adjustable cams.

Just seen a bunch of deer out in the field across the road. I knew it would be a good night!
My boy wanted to take a few practice shots. So after confirming zero, he mowed off a pumpkin. He was so excited to see that thing blow up! I had him using my 350 Legend, since I have a bunch of shells loaded up. He was leery about the recoil of it before, so he took to the 6.5G right away. Now he likes the 350L too. Lol

Well here she is. First Doe with my new Hoyt and the first recovery for my 8 month old pup, Boone. This is the first doe I have seen since October 14th, I had to work for this one. Great wind for me tonight and everything came together.

Headed out in the AM. I guess my uncle went this morning without me and sat in my spot. I sure hope he didn't spook the deer today. Wich I have my suspicions after talking to him. Lol.
Last time he did that though I shot an 8 pointer the next morning. So we will see.
