Bullseye, My congrats to your dad, it's a dandy. The kind of deer though, that could have a huge amount of "ground shrinkage" if you only saw it for a brief second when you took the shot! A deer to be proud of, for sure.

Got 2 out in the field playing with fire right now. Standing at 369yds, bad news for them, I brought my 270win. Their only saving grace is it's a stiff crosswind, and they are on top of a rise. So a shot could travel beyond, so no dice. Plenty of time! I’ve got a spot that I like to hunt when the wind is just right. Facing up wind , I’m looking at a 100 foot thicket that runs the fence row between fields, and has standing corn still on the other side of it . If I turn down wind, I can shoot a 200acre ish field. Closest shot is a couple hundred yards, so shooting down wind is a big help there. I took my last doe out of that tree at 249 yards.

Walked my 3 little acres and no rubs or scrapes for the 1st time in 30 years. Moving stand to a different cedar after season. They are now crossing about 20 yards at the bottom of the triangle lot. The neighbor below that has the horses stopped using the top field that connects to my property. They are now cutting about 50 yards from right side to lower left and cutting through the tall grass field. My neighbor next has a dog and it moved the deer down the hill about 30 yards.

Swilk, congrats to your father and yourself. Great deer! What a nice night to be out and in a tree. I have a commanding view. Set up on the side of a ridge. Bottom to my right. Ridge top to my left. Woods are pretty open but there is some roll to the terrain and some thick bedding in places. Ready for the snow and the rabbit hunting after today.

Well, I am back out behind my house in the ground blind. As I'm getting everything thing settled, I look up and see 6 deer busting out of the woods about 300 yards north of me. I'm not sure if they had possibly seen me approach and ran through the woods a bit before they exited or if the hunter in that woodlot jumped them. I sure hope this hunt isn't over before it actually got a chance to begin.

Well back in a tree looking for a doe. I hope God’s will is with everyone that is still out and all the rest of you as well.
