One time on the handicap hunt, a buck jumped up 15yds from the road. He was laying behind a big downed tree.

Couple of years ago some pards and I were leaving Kentucky off of a hunt when we spotted a giant 180β +/- buck bedded in a ditch off the freeway. (I64) He was pretty safe.

First hunt of the year here in Indiana for me.
First I bump a doe on my way in. Then realize I didn't pack my limbsaw, so I couldn't climb the tree I had scouted out. I picked another tree, and got about 6' up when I realized that one was just too crooked to climb. Finally, an hour of banging and clanging after I left the car, I'm settled in.
Hopefully I get all these kinks in my system ironed out tonight! Planning on hitting it fairly hard over the weekend.

Close to my stand. I pull into my driveway and I have visitors standing in the driveway. Those darn deer know I have a soar back and I won't shot them today. Seven total. a/y1Rqjmx

Rushed out of work at 4:00 today. An hour drive to a spot on public. Then a short paddle. Got set up close to 5:45 only to see a climber on the ground 20 yards from me. Thought I found an overlooked spot. Oh well!

Doe and fawn blow at my car.. Follow my trail basically to my tree.. Sniff my ground scent, look at my tree, look up at me.. And tear out, blowing all the way.
I'd say that will just about wrap things up.

Watched a 120β 9 point tonight on public land for over an hour. He worked a scrape no more than 40 yards from me for ten minutes then rubbed a tree for five minutes. He gave me one shot at 34 yards and I decided to pass. May have been a mistake. Idk. It was an awesome hunt though!!!

Got set up at 515 this evening. Quick hunt after work. Not much action until almost quitting time. Had two doe show up. Mustve been bedded in the small woodlot I was in. They didnt come from the expected direction of travel. Anyways, I blew it. Shot right under one at 35 yards. She didnt spook just kinda looked in my general direction then kept feeding. Hope I didnt booger up my spot too bad. At least it was a clean miss and not a bad hit. Gonna stew on this for a couple days then go back Sunday...after verifying p.o.i. and p.o.a.

Deer sightings have been pretty slow til this evenings hunt, seen 9 and 1 was a really large body pretty 8 point at 35 to 40 yds that snuck in behind me and I watched him over my shoulder for about 15 minutes and he knew something wasn't right and walked back into the thick stuff. He got me excited to get back out there and hopefully get a shot at him in coming days.

With my back I decided not to hunt tonight or tomorrow. I can't sit still very long. I keep moving trying to find a better way. Seems laying with straight leg is best. Plus it' my 28th anniversary tomorrow.

If they smell us, they're gone, so do you think they sense something electrical emanating from us?

Working from home and it's been very quiet. No squirrels or anything. Not sure why. Back is feeling a lot better. Back in my standard shoe inserts made a big difference feeling better.

Well, getting in tonight went smoother than last night. I got in fairly quiet and up a pine tree. I'm hunting a waterhole that has a ton of tracks, and a few small scrapes up on the high bank.
Got an EWW wind right now, hopefully that straightens out soon and blows from SW as forecasted.

Unbelievable! Two bucks, one NICE, just chased a doe right past me, grunting all the way. They were close but didn't stop for a shot.
