Coyote just came by, reddish brown good sized Reddest one I have ever seen. Got it last year during muzzleloader season. Saw it out in the field and mouse-squeaked it in to 25 yards.

Sorry for the delay. So I was in my urban spot this morning. a doe and fawn came through followed by a spike. After harassing the doors for a while the spike went off on his own. I noticed when he got to the end of a small patch of woods he was looking at something followed by him bolting out of there across the field. I was sitting there for a little while when I saw a buck that looked like it was coming towards me but after standing up and grabbing my bow I didn’t see him. I went back to the binoculars and realized he was bedded down. I tried grunting at him but he wouldn’t get up. Then I started to rattle lightly and here he came. I shot him am at 34 yards. he took off just a little bit but stopped and looked back not knowing what happened but still worried where that rattling came from. He ran straight back to me 20 yards quartering too so I shot him again and down he went. Pretty awesome morning. imgur.com/AfHlitQimgur.com/A1bBVxoimgur.com/FH4Pzykimgur.com/WUnkg9aCongratulations on a dandy!!

Nice deer congrats. Just had a small 8 point run through the yard heading for the standing corn across the road. All the hiding spots will be slowly going away with this warm dry stretch.

Just a doe and a possum in my spot. No hero shot so I guess the opossum wasn't B&C?

Got her home washed out wet down to help with cooling and hung up. Would have posted sooner but neighbor being a non hunter came over to see and learn AND brought me dinner too.
I almost did not go out tonight with it being so hot but being at camp I figured I could not kill one looking out the door so I ventured in some what late. Got in tree around 4. I do not know the time exactly because I forgot my phone in the camper. I had NO expectations of seeing any deer tonight because of the heat. I was in the same stand as last night. With it being only 50 yrds from the wood edge I can access it with a S,SW,or SSW wind and my sent goes into the corn field. Also I have never had deer come in front the NE side of the stand so it is a good choice for those winds. I was enjoying the evening and watching the up and down bugs(the ones that get together in small clouds and fly up and down all over about 10 inches.) When about 35ish min after being in the stand I saw a tail fleck about 80 yards out and to the left. As I watched I saw movement of 3 different deer in the thick stuff moving from left to right. I accully thought about not getting my xbow off the hook because with that movement they were going to be way out of range but I thought there is always a chance so might as well(sure glad I did) the doe I got turned and headed my way stopping at a small maple with green leaves. She ate some of the bottom leaves then bent the tree/sapling over so she could get to the ones on top. None of the deer were moving at any speed. Just kind of moseying along. The big doe kept comming streight at me till she was 5 yrds or less from the tree. I was beginning to think she was gona walk streight past and not offer a good shot when she turned to my right. I kept trying to get on her but she was moving or no shot when stopped. At about 12 yrds she was in an opening so I went baaaa to stop her. At the shot I could see the spot of impact but it looked a little back but I knew she was somewhat quartering away so hoped for the best. She bound about 50 yrds then went to a trot and out of sight at 100ish yrds. I thought I heard her go down but not sure. I got my self together and finally got down to find arrow. It was a pass thru and buried 4 in in a dead log.(gona go back later and dig it out. Want to check the broad head for damage and see just how far it went in the log) I was surprised that there was not much viable blood. I would find a fingernail size dot then 6 feet a pencil eraser size dot then a nother dot then a nother fingernail size one. It took me 15 min or more to track her. She fell just out of sight at 100idh yards. Some times I am a slow learner. I just figured out tonight I can pull a deer out of the woods with my 4wheeler befor dressing it so I do not have leaves and weed seeds in it from pulling it thru the woods dressed. DAAAAA! Any way after dressing I found I punched one lung about center and cut the other one. The reason for little blood was the fletchings pulled fat or something in the exit hole. Even with out the deer it was a good night in the stand. Seems like it always is.

After a few days of hunting in northern Michigan, 45 degrees in southern Indiana has never felt so good. Nothing but squirrels so far but at least I can feel my feet and hands.

Small 8 just came in to about 10 yards. Definitely got a whiff of where I came in. Trotted off and into bean field.
