Left the decoy in the car, woods were too thick.
I walked around a bunch, finally settled on an area, as I was coming down a finger off a ridge, I got within 10 yards of a bedded doe before she burst out of the bed. I gave the ole "meh" and she stopped about 20 yards away with some branches in the way. I managed to get an arrow knocked as she worked around to the other side of the bed. I guessed she would be at 35 when I would have an opening (ranged after at 36). I set my sight at 30 yards, thinking her belly would hit the dirt when I released........nope, not even close. Didnt even flinch till the arrow hit dirt behind her.
She trotted another 10 yards and browsed and kept an eye on me for the next 40 minutes without presenting a shot, before finally wandering off to private land.
Only deer I saw.

I didn't see anything tonight.
I plan on hunting the next couple evenings, but I'm really looking forward to an all day hunt Wednesday.

I skipped this weekend, was hard to do with the deer seen last Saturday, and no go last Sunday. Debating on throwing down some PTO days this week. Otherwise will be on Saturday.

First time I have hunted Brown County Park since the first couple hunts they had there. We usually hunt Versailles or Charlestown. Tried something different this year.

Took my wife and son’s girlfriend over to a friends property that allows management tags. My wife popped a doe at 150, Kathy made a perfect shot to take her first deer ever, very nice doe.

I made it out but left early...too hot and no action. They are cutting corn down there today. I will be back Wednesday when Temps cool off. The rest of today I plan to smoke a pork butt and drink some beers! We will need said photos of pork butt and detailed info No photos but it was the best one I have done. 4 hours hanging in my pit barrel cooker followed by 2 hours wrapped in foil laid on the grill grate of the pbc with some Two Hearted Ale to help out. I watched intently and never saw a deer the whole time.

Forcast for weekend firearms opener is rain both days. 50 and 40% here in LA Porte. That just means a 50% and 60% chance of it not raining. Perspective! I have been saving a stand for the opening morning of gun season. I'm hoping I don't get moved away from it due to the rain. I do have rain gear and a tree umbrella but, I don't really want to use either.

Beautiful morning in God’s creation! I love sitting in my stand and communing with the Lord!
No deer movement so far. Last pic on my camera was 3:30 am.
Watched a nice flock of geese go over then a huge flock of blackbirds. Noisy critters. I noticed a much larger bird flying with them. I couldn’t figure that one out?

One time I had a whole flock of black birds land in the tree my stand was on. It was noisy and stuff was falling. When they took off the whole tree shook !!
