Had 3 long beards coming in but didn’t quite make it. No deer yet but I would put my money on the last 10 minutes of daylight in this hot stuff. Put one on the ground

Well no dice. Saw one small buck and a doe. No shots. Trying to decide about the morning or not.

Took the climber out tonight. Got set up by 430. Saw first deer at 6 slinking across the field. 3 more came out at 7. Worked across the field heading for a fencerow and the picked corn field on the other side. Lost sight of them for awhile but they did make it to the corn field. Just after shooting light Im pulling up my line to tie my bow when I heard a stick snap. 3 deer walked by broadside at 20 yards. Looked at my watch, they were 6 minutes late. Gave it awhile before climbing down, dont think I spooked any getting out.

First sit of the year and I'm feeling like I'm in a war zone. Squirrels are just flat making it rain everywhere around me. They're in the popular trees this morning but not sure if they are using them for picnic tables or actually eating them.
The raccoons have finally settled down, but the first hour or so sounded like a bar fight.

Covered in stickers and my right foot is wet. Hunting 400 yards north of the ground blind I found. Figure if they are still skeptical of it, then north is the only way out. Walked in through the water on the edge of a lake, didnt bump anything that I'm aware of, scent is blowing out over the lake.
This is a giant bedding area. Hopefully something comes by.

Good luck to all that are out on this fine October day. It is a lot warmer than I would like but my son wanted to go so I have him in one of my better stands and I am sitting in an old spot for scouting purposes. It sure is weird to be in a stand with only my phone camera to shoot one with.

Sorry it's not live, but I had work to do in this heat.
Sat with my youngest daughter this afternoon. Nothing until about an hour before dark and had 5 does straight behind us feeding in the brush. Finally after a good 20 minutes or more she had an opening. She punched it at 42 yards and watched the doe go down in sight.
We got the deer quartered, into bags and into my pack. I had her carry out a backstrap in her pack. Maybe a half mile hike out in the dark. On ice now and just finished eating smoked deer for supper that my oldest killed in youth season.

Here’s a view from my stand today: So far just 7 starfish sighted. You are encumbered forever by desire and ambition. There's a hunger still unsatisfied with dreaming to be out in your stands. Your weary eyes still stray to the wooded horizon.

Hunting in the rain. Would suit me fine if it would stop though. Had 2 does slip through.

I did not hunt this weekend, too warm for and I already have a doe in the freezer so I got a bunch of around the house chores done before my vacation starts at the end of October. Today I decided to hang a camera over some scrapes I found the first week of the season. After I hung the camera I thought I needed to do a little scouting around the area to maybe find a few trees to climb but my gut feeling told me not too. I thought it is gonna rain later and should wash all my scent away. Well after walking around a bit I to a point and and old grown up log road. Right there was a huge fresh bed and I looked down across the drainage and I see a stud sneaking away. Grrrrrrr I had that feeling that a good one was in this area because of the big early scrapes I found. I should have listened to my gut feeling and not walk around. I hope he comes back into that area.

I hope he comes back into that area. Just leave that area alone for a while. He should be right back in there and back to normal.
