Its that time of year when every minute could be the one,warm weather or not. I've seen 9 does the last two days at home (group of 4 and 5) and both were in their groups and there where no signs of the rut in their actions. It was a little strange to see them acting normal this time of year.

Its that time of year when every minute could be the one,warm weather or not. My friend hunted the city property im on this morning and didn't see anything. I seen 1 buck yesterday morning. Monday was insane though. Seen 20 total with 4 different bucks including a solid 160 class 10. I guess 4 straight all day sits has me worn out.

Small 6 point right in front of me didn’t care about the does.

With it being sunny the time light is a little longer than cloudy does. I wonder if this effects the does just days before the breeding. It might push most of the activity during the cooler nights. My phone has 73 degrees.

Settled in for an afternoon hunt. The past couple hunts yielded no sightings. But, my neighbor text me this morning and said he just seen a big 8pt chase a doe all over the field and right to my box blind. That particular blind isn't good for bow hunting, too small to draw comfortably. So I figured if the bucks are chasing and with the warm temps, I'd be safe to try the pond stand. Maybe they'll need a drink. The wind isn't ideal for this stand but, it could be worse.
Good luck everyone! God bless!

Well, I'm up here sweating through my short sleeves. This is a good spot though, where I shot my buck last year. Having fun!

In my stand where I keep getting pictures of a nice 10 point, sun is hitting me hard. I sure picked a good week to take vacation deer or no deer!

Between the landscapers and the property owner I just now got settled in. She informed me that most of the hunters shes talked to havent seen but maybe 1 or 2 deer here, so I guess Im doing good. Wind is funky, but I dont have much choice on stand locations

Back at it in Knox County and hoping to fill the last tag of my bundle license on a big ol doe. On vacation after Friday morning and have a few things to do around the house and may work a fishing trip in this weekend. Me and my buddy was drawn for the State Park reduction hunt at Harmonie and I've never done one before so I'm kinda looking forward to see how it goes. Everybody be safe and good luck.

Got to this tree at 3. Got a little sweaty in my boots walking in and climbing up, but it’s very comfortable now. I’m within view, but 120 yards from the pond that I think Waldo hit after I lost sight of him monday at 430. Only sign of rut here is a single hot doe getting chased by an 8 point Monday. Does and bucks are still eating in the field together at night
Drug 69 in behind me because #justsendit. Wind is blowing pretty decent in my face, and I’ve got a nature preserve about 1200 yards behind me.
While there are things I don’t love, I think I could get used to the climber life.
If you’re in the woods, good luck!

Passed on the weirdo and two does around 730. Three days ago, he was on our hit list. After seeing a biggunnnnn here two nights ago, this deer will only be a last chance buck lol genetics need deleted from the area, but gawdddd I wanna kill a monster lol Got at least 1 130+ deer on each of my three hunting properties this year. Feeling blessed. I hope so. I do not think I could kill 3 bucks and add them together and get 130 in. They are hammered hard in the area I hunt for meat on the table

Really debating on going out or not. Lack of movement the last 2 days and warm temps has me wanting to go home I felt the same last night but I went any way and got luckey. If you go with the expectation of not getting one and go just to look at the beauty of the woods it is a lot easier when you donot see any and more satisfying when you do and if you get luckey it is elateing. Read my post of yesterday's hunt.

Just about a heart attack. Apparently the ladder stand worked itself a little loose in the wind. It felt solid as I was climbing and getting settled. After about 30 min a gust of wind hit and that sucker slid about 4 inches. Thank God for the harness. I tightened the stand down best I could and climbed down.
