Nothing tonight but 2 squirrels and then I heard a heck of a commotion that went on for about 10 minutes. It took a while to figure out but I think it was a flock of turkeys flying up to roost. How they can make that much noise and not break a wing is beyond me.

I bumped 3 does on my way in last night. They were bedded about 40 yards from the edge of my lawn and very close to the stand I was heading to. I went ahead and sat there and had 5 more does/fawns pass by right before dark. No bucks.

Just had two 1.5 yr old 4-5 point bucks walk by at 7:25am. I know those two bucks from last year as button bucks. They are the offspring of an old doe around 12-13 years old. That doe was the tallest deer around and had triplets for 6 years. Sad news I have not seen this doe this fall. I think age got to her this summer.

Just a quick glance at the calendar made me panic...I work Wednesday and Thursday 6am-6pm, then Friday 6am-noon, then muzzlelaoder season ends 30 minutes after sunset on Sunday. I`m usually so tired and sleepy after getting off at noon on these Friday`s I have to nap after I get home to even be functional, but if my buddy will take me hunting, I`d better find a way to stay awake so I can hunt Friday and Saturday afternoons, then maybe find a way to get a Sunday morning hunt in too.
My dilemma after Sunday will be, do I go out with a firearm for the special, bonus antlerless season December 26th to January 3, or do I go out with the crossbow in hopes of a buck coming through in range?

Take both since both are in season and legal.

Take the crossbow and the gun for the late season.

Ditto on taking both.

It is a pain to take both, but be worth it if you have the opportunity to take a buck and/or doe.

I keep debating on taking both now because I have seen an abundance of turkeys. Really looking forward to this coming spring

Quite a bit cooler tonight. I'm on the other side of the suspected bedding than yesterday due to the wind. This isn't the most direct route to the picked corn and bean fields, but you never know.

Many, many times, for reasons known only to them, they take the route that doesn`t make sense to us. I witnessed that just yesterday afternoon...

Just saw one doe tonight. She came in behind me and winded me.

Well, the deer are winning. Didn't see one tonight, but saw 6 in the cut cornfield on the way out of the property in the truck headlights. Tomorrow will be different, I will be taking the hunt to them - doing some scouting in the woods and setting up over a good looking trail (I hope).

Good morning all. Getting ready to head out to the deer stand. Snowy morning here in Jasper County. Definitely looking forward to hunting in it.
Good luck and God bless!

Just had 6 walk past me. But I am working from home and everyone is asleep. The muzzleloader through an open window would make a great alarm clock for my teens though!

I didn't finish my thought. My wife would kill me! I can't risk that so the does and button bucks got a free pass
