Slow morning until now. Just watched two 1.5 year olds sparring.

A big goose egg for me this morning. I did find my crossbow bolt from the pass through of my buck though. Definitely looks like it’s in good enough shape for another use!

Seen 15 this morning. 6 were on the drive in and around the check in station so they were in the safe zone 😂. Had 3 come in on us an hour after daylight but got busted trying to square up with them.

Back home again on Indiana flat ground. What a change from WV where we came from! "Them is some hills!" Lol.
I only seen about 6 or 7 road kills in a thousand miles, and 3 were nice ones. Oh and one yote.
Left early so my butt will be sitting in a stand tonight!

Seen three does with a fawn and a 4 or 5 point chasing them cool to watch but unfortunately he was bothering them so much I could never get a decent shot on one
He sure thought he was all that but I’d say he’s about to get a whooping real soon his rack wasn’t much bigger than his ears

Went into Washington and got a bite to eat. I'm hoping the evening goes better than this morning. We'll be here until last light, due to the wife being on a war path at home. A bad in the woods/field beats sitting at home listening to that noise 😂.

Had a big buck run directly under my stand right after I climbed in. He stopped and sniffed my pack and bow.
Insane, think rattling would have been effective today. He was looking for a fight.
930 the landowners cattle got out so helped them.

I'm set up in the HNF. Trying out the Hawk Helium hang on and climbing steps for the first time. The 4 steps that came with the stand doesn't get me as high as I would like. Hanging in a shagbark hickory is not ideal but the tree is in a good spot if this wind would quit swirling.

Good luck.

I'm going to go into a bedding area tonight, tried this spot before but the winds were swirly going to try and drop in a bit and see if that helps. Otherwise I'm going to hit a spot right off the road.

I'm set up by the house tonight. I don't want to over-hunt my other easterly wind stands, so I got up in my climber and have my scent blowing over the yard. I can hear my lab gnawing on a deer bone from here.
I do have a couple fresh rubs in front of me and a lot of acorns on the ground to my left, so I'm fairly optimistic I'll at least see a few deer.

Setup in the tree stand 60 yards east of the blind. Girlfriends dad is in the blind I shot my buck out of. 8 turkeys trickled out of the soybeans but no shot. Had a doe and a yearling hit the soybeans about 80 yards East right when we got here: starting to rain pretty good here in Monroe county: hope we can get him a shot on a deer. Any one will do.
