Well still licking my wounds a bit from bad morning. Blind grunt called my #4 Hit lister in this morning. Things came together perfect until the shot. 55 yards quarter 2, cross hairs of .308 right behind shoulder. Shoot... ( Buck runs off.) Waited normal 30, get down no blood, no hair?? Head to house a Little puzzled so just for peace mind I recreate shot on target, shooting 4 rounds. (Group is 5" low). WTH..... I grab dog and head back out. Dog didn't hit on track but looked for hour or so in direction went and found nothing. Came back in resight gun. (Took 17 clicks up to get on.) Baffled ?? Was dead on 2 weeks ago and don't recall bumping or hitting scope on anything??? Left / Right fine. Guess wasn't meant to be and this buck just used 1 of his 9 lives. JJEEZZ... .308 is now grounded and brought 12 qu. back out..... Nothing I can do but get back in tree....

Dang boone this is an off year for you. Not trying to be a butt. You are usually ready to hang it up and start your feeding program.

Been settled in for 20 minutes. Blue jays firing up off to my left. It is so thick in here it will be in bow range before I see it. Good luck fellas and gals if any are out.

My farm will be shut down after this weekend forsure but have a 85 lease across road I may still hunt?? IDK.. Been a roller coaster year with my hunting partner killing a 170 plus inch buck late bow and my 2 adjoining neighbors to west killing a 150 class 10 and High 130 class 8 during bow. Been a season of close calls and misses for me...lol. Had many great encounters with some up and comers but targets seemed to zig when I was zagging, then we got SUMMER coming back right in peak rut which shut everything pretty much down here.. End day grateful for time spent outdoors and doe's I've filled freezer with and for my friends harvesting some great bucks.. We got a good little mgmt. area going and hopefully we can keep it going. I'll be chasing few bucks these final weeks and won't quit to final bell rings... God willing I may get one of these Jokers on ground yet....

Continuing pushing and it will work out, trust the process, and all the other motivational things hunters say. 🤣 Seriously though, just gotta keep trying... and I’m talking to myself more than anybody else.

Zero deer today. Can't even confirm what I caught a glimpse of this morning was a deer in the field corner because of all the brush. May have been a gray squirrel on a sapling. Never grabbed the binos, just got Abbie to trade me seats so she would have a good shot if a deer came into the woods that we hunt.

Life gives you squirrels make gravy.
Took my Nephew this am for a little lesson for tomorrow. We had a new doe walk out in front of the natural blind. I asked him... He said no. Smh. I shoulda put some meat on the table. 25 yds and closing she got wind and started stomping and blowin.g
