The deer didn't read the play book tonight. I saw one going through the food plot at last light, and as I was getting ready to get down 3 walked in on me, and momma was NOT a happy camper, blowing and stomping her foot. Never really spooked but sure made a lot of noise. I ended up staying in the tree so long I had to put my headlamp on to walk out.
I could hear turkeys behind me, but then never showed.

Those stomping does put the fear in me. They would whoop me good. I use the wildcat call to scare them away before I move out.

I took Thursday, Friday and today off work for opening week. I spent last week hunting public. Going in this morning to try a private piece I hunt.

Here is a brush in example of over doing it. Not really; it is surrounded by cedars (tri cedars) and just worked out. Best part it will stay green all year round. I have not hunted it yet.

Bad start. Going in I had one blow. I had high hopes for this morning with the rainy Sunday and cold temps this morning. Only good news was that it wasn’t persistent like some of those nanny does can be and it cleared out pretty quick. Here’s my view to the rear of my stand. I walk the edge of the highway to get in, jump the fence, walk 10 yards and I’m in my stand. Even with going in like a ninja I still get busted... lol

You should still be good even with spooking that one.

Been a awesome morning so far. Seen one of my shooters, 100 yards out though, 4 other bucks, and 12 does.

Lot of movement early this morning. 7 does and a small four point. Deer came to about 10 yards from the blind. I guess my brush in job was better than I thought. Still no sign of the 10 point I saw on opening day. No action within the last 45 minutes or so. Hoping to catch one heading to bed a little late.

Late update, but got out Saturday afternoon on public. Bumped 2 on the walk in then was crazy quiet for what felt like forever. Finally saw some movement about 100 yards out, 3 does. A little later had a small 4 walk by at 10 yards. Let him work past. He had no idea I was there. Besides the constant drizzle, it was a beautiful evening.

I was at my girlfriends this morning and I remembered its Monday. Every Monday I go and check my cameras and pull pictures. I told her when we 1st met from October-January its hunting season and I'm hers on the weekends but weekday mornings and evenings are my hunting times. She is more than welcome to tag along and come with me. She looked at me and said she thought I was kidding... I said I don't joke about hunting. Soooo now we are at the gas station on our way to go check my trail cams haha. I'll post any good pics it looks like a amazing morning to be in a stand

I have a stupid question about this buck. Why are his tips worn down? Is a squirrel ridding his neck chewing on his rack? Are they rubbing already? What's up with that?

All antlers aren't pointed from the start. I have shot several that were rounded, dull, angled, etc. Yes, have seen rubs, and sparring on cams.

Didn’t go this morning but went for the first time in Perry county last evening. Had 7 does within 20 yards in the clover. No bucks.

I've slept 13 hours each night since Oct 1 except 12 last night with a three hour nap today. I don't know if I'll make it out this week. I hope to.
Early voting tomorrow. I'm voting for a big alpha male buck.

Had a doe come in and caught me off guard, then I rushed the shot and clean miss over her back. Doh! Oh well, it was only my second time out. Got the jitters out.
