My handicap hunt at Crane got cancelled due to spike in covid. I guess I'll be in the bottom lands of Martinsville.

They said they'd keep my money for next year. I told him that I'd probably be dead next year. He said, "You've been saying that for the past 5 years." Hummmm.

I'm up in the climber. Wind is more SE here, so I had to adjust my plan a little bit.

Set up for only my third hunt of the year. Dead calm and overcast in Clay county. Looks like a great evening, good luck for anyone else who is out.

Was sitting still around 5. Great calm night. Tons and tons of birds on the beans. I’ve never seen anything like it. I heard a doe blow at them on the other side of the field lol. No deer have came by yet.

Nothing thus far. One thing about hunting so close to the food source in an area that has so much human activity is that it takes them so long to get to me. May consider trying to get a stand closer to the bedding area for early season next year. I’m sure it will be a last light rush again tonight.

Had a smaller 10 come in and destroy a small tree near me before dark. He will be a good one in a year or two. I got a decent video I’ll upload once I get to the house. Still no does since I spooked them on the way to the truck in the first week of October. May switch properties to fill my tag.

I hunted last hour. I didn't see anything. The darn dog below me on the next street kept barking. I'm on a top ridge. That's some of the struggles hunting in a neighborhood.

Just had a small 6 point walk by. Needs at least 3 years. One doe was in range 10 min before shootin time.

I got off work this morning and was in the stand by 9:45 am. I stayed until dark. That's the longest I've ever stayed in a stand. I saw 5 different bucks. All were young and one was a decent shooter but he never came within range. I saw a lot of hens and had a bobcat walk by. I heard some chasing and grunting several times throughout the day. It was a fun 9 hour hunt. I got a few pictures. Sounds like a good day ! Long sits don’t seem to drag on as long when they keep you on your toes !

I hunted for the first time this year yesterday evening. Started out on the farm in Illinois. Will hunt Gibson co. soon. Over 35 seen. Actually had 25 out feeding in front of me at one time & not one antler seen. I think the buck to doe ratio is just a little out of whack..😟
