I pulled the plug. Froze to death in the wind. Second time under dressed recently. You'd think I would know better!

Just had another doe come by with her tail high in the air. Beautiful day. Good for you all to be able to be out there today and experience this!

Waited until 11 to look for her. Found blood where the other guy seen her and bumped her along w her fawn and the big buck. She took off behind the houses on the next street. I called at let the police know and he was notifying the officers on duty incase a resident finds her. We are thinking the buck is probably 160 to 165 on the low end. The other hunter actually missed him last year.

So I found my arrow from the miss and have a serious blood trail from the doe I shot. Can't find that arrow though. Bad news is the guy hunting another property about 200 yards from me had her come by him being chased by the 2 bucks. She'd bed down and the big one would try to mount her. I believe I clipped a branch and hit her low. She can't use her right front leg at all. The other guy said she really struggling Let her lay. If the buck could not get her to move she will die.

Tough morning for me. Second time I’ve sat it this same stand within two days and had shooters served up to me on a platter. This time I saw him coming in with some time and got ready. He got within 10 yards and as I was drawing back my release gave and the arrow popped off the string. That was enough to spook him out of range.

Bought a new crossbow this morning. Sighting it in and hopping into the blind.

Bought a new crossbow this morning. Sighting it in and hopping into the blind. It`s a lot different than shooting/hunting with a compound bow, that`s for sure. It`s neat in some ways, but I wish I could still hunt with a compound bow. The compounds are a lot lighter, quieter, and easier to maneuver when hunting.

I'll be hunting Ohio the next two weeks off and on. Around my place the quality of bucks genes are better than my brothers place. All around his farm are all 4 x 4 or 5 x 5. My home area has some 6 x 6 genes. Looking for one of those. Maybe even 7 x 7.

Setup for the evening in the tower blind. The reveal cam showed some action here yesterday evening and two studs just after dark. Maybe they show a bit earlier today?

I did buy a black sheet set and cut up sections to pin on the outside of the ghillie blinds so hopefully the deer get more use to the black interior. Got one done on the way out. Two more to go.

On the food plot for the first time this year. There were quite few deer on camera yesterday afternoon. Just two small bucks and the rest does and fawns. I'm hoping Mr. Big decides to check out the does.
They are picking the soy beans on the farm south of me. Almost done..
Supposed to be a SW wind but like always here it's swirling. Ive got the Ozonics running. Crossed fingers...

It’s a lot more windy than the forecast , I’m a little excited about this warmer weather at least for comfort.

Just threw up a ladder stand, so decided to hunt it! In a new spot we have never hunted on this property. Connects to a 30 acre woods nobody hunts, pond to my back, right on a corner. Wind is right! Let's go boys!
