In the stand where recent cam pics showing some morning hope. Let's get it done this morning! With forecasted rain coming, and back to work next week, hunting time is dwindling quickly for me.

Seen 7 deer this morning so far. They are active now. Two 6pt, two 4pt and doe with two fawns. Seems one of the fawns might be smelling right. The two 6pt pushed the fawn around a little. Need to keep a keen eye out the next 24 hours.

Had fawn by me most of the morning. Eventually bedded down 25yds away.
Saw 3 deer walk right past stand I was in last night. Lol. Prob would be 50yd shot at most. They went into another other property. Never fails.
That's a wrap. Will see what weather brings rest of weekend. Saying 2" rain in the NW. Maybe Sun am will be dry. Will see.
Good luck kids.

Been a little slow for me lately. Havent laid eyes on a good buck since the weekend before gun opened. Still kickin myself for passin that 9 pointer back then. Ill take the first good sized doe that gives me the chance now. Ive got a big buck on my camera pretty regularly on my property across the road. Its an 8 point and the right side of his rack is broke off in 2 places. I had the same deer on cam last year and was broke in the same spots. Only problem is he is waitin to come to the field till 8 or 9 at night. Gonna keep grinding though maybe the colder temps next week will help.

Well I'm back out tonight, sitting at the base of a big cedar. I bumped one unseen deer on the way in.
I did see 3 does last night, so that's better than it has been.
A lot of people out shooting tonight, enjoying the warm weather I suppose.

The 2nd (or is it the 3rd?) rut is on. Saw two different does being chased by bucks tonight. Had a really nice buck (10 pt, about 2"-3" wider than it's ears on each side, and about 18" tall from base to the top of the tines) standing for about 10 minutes at 180 yds. Chip shot, sitting in a chair, trigger stick tripod under the gun, and I just watched him. Landowner just wants me to shoot does, so his place, his rules. I tried to get the phone to take a picture, but zooming in it was too grainy, and try as I could and I couldn't seem to get the phone lined up with the scope and the scope lined up with the deer.... Oh well.

Another wet day here figures nice all week rain on the weekend No kidding. I flipped the rain gauge before it started, and we got 3/4" already in LaPorte County. Saying wind is coming here off the big lake today up to 45mph. Oh boy! Just put a rack of ribs on the smoker and some potatoes. Got a few steaks to grill. Having a buddy over for lunch to watch it rain. Lol.

Think I’ll join ya starting to wonder if its even worth it storm tracker shows it’s probably going to get worse Sure would like to put another one in the freezer but lack of deer during daylight rain and wind has got me wondering

Well made it out to my blind. The boy is in his. Not to wet as a whole but soaked in places. On the way out a limb caught my hat and threw it into a mud puddle. Then stepped in a hole that went over my boot. Dropped both gloves in the mud getting my boot out of the hole. If I hadn't been 20 yards from the blind I would have went home.

You might have a start to a new country song before the day is over.
