Good looking morning out there. I couldnt get myself out of bed in time tho. Shows temp is 37deg, and windchill is 27deg in LaPorte county. That's a 38deg drop, nice! Good luck fellow brothers!

Two doe fawns bedded within 25 yards of me. No buck with them.

At least 5 guys that hunt around me would put that on the ground You try and let that deer walk past you around here it will be the last time you see it I’m jealous of you guys that don’t have that kind of pressure on your deer and can do that I’ve tried to talk to the guys around me but it’s still if it’s brown it’s down thinking around here My neighbor and myself have been trying but I’ve eaten my buck tag for a few years now so has he this year maybe I’ll spend one on something regardless I haven’t harvested a buck in two years! I try to let them grow, but it doesn’t always work out. I have a lifetime license so I’m not out anything by letting deer walk. Watching them is almost as much fun as harvesting them!! I’ve always figured a doe tastes just as good or better so let them bucks walk and let ol nanny doe have it. Happy for anyone that harvests the one they want. Just my style. I’ve eaten tag soup before too but also have the lifetime so it probably doesn’t hurt so bad. Just seeing the big ones and if I’m lucky harvesting one makes it all worth it.

I don’t really know the exact year or time it happened. But I let most bucks walk. Really just enjoy watching and having the opportunity to harvest them. 30 plus years of taking down bucks with my lifetime license and muzzleloader. There is no shame, I guess it happens with age. Biggest thing is shoot or don’t shoot, whatever makes you happy! Just happy to wake up symptom free everyday right now. I’m constantly exposed going into work “essential”. I’m getting tired of being tested every week. But comes with the territory.

Noisy this morning in the neighborhood. 1st hour good, but not the last couple. Someone chipping wood and some phone like ring going off on the next ridge which is a subdivision. One of the different challenges hunting the neighborhood. Came in at 9am to check work. Working from home and looking out the house blind.

Well I almost had a nice 8. Was in position for like 5 minutes and he just froze out at 40 yards. Finally started working his way to me then a big gust of wind went right to him and he took off

Passing is the only way bucks get to the next level. I had a buck that had me shook up one year & I would have taken it but he spooked. Guessed him about 160. The next year he grossed 193 IF he is still around...that`s a big "IF"...

I agree 100 percent I still buy tags I don’t have to buy them I hunt my own ground but I fill it helps the DNR and still will as long as I can
I’m the same way I get more enjoyment out of taking new hunters and kids I get more excited watching them I’ve taken my fair share of game from here out west up north if I never take anything else I’ve still done very well

Anything makes me happy my other post maybe a bit misunderstood I’m not a bit jealous of the deer I’m jealous of that environment we’re letting a buck walk by and believe it could or will be there next year that’s what gets me a bit jealous I let them walk all the time but knowing it is probably the last time you will see him even if I never get a chance at him it would just be nice to see them make it another year or two

Couple little bucks and a few yearling doe this morning. I cut out little b4 11. Be back out around 3. I was disappointed in movement this morning maybe as temps drop this evening and tomorrow will be better.
