Last few minutes left. Nothing so far. The quad returned for more laps and screwing around now. Not expecting much.

Dead!
Everything dead except a deer!
Windy yet beautiful out there.
Never saw a single deer. Not much stirring at all.
We’ll head to another property tomorrow morning.

Heading out the door now. Warming up later, and saying winds near 30mph for home. So we're gonna sit a couple hours and hope for the best.

Last night we forgot any bug repellents. With the wind, didnt figure skeeters would be bad, but inside the blind was tough! Today dug out the thermo cell and it's a game changer!
Did see some deer on the way home last night and a couple on the way this morning. So they are here and moving. Just gotta hope they cross our path.

Already got a sleepy head with me. We are not early risers, and it shows! Already heard about when do I want to leave, what are we getting for breakfast, ready to go yet, etc. If it was a fishing pole in his hand, he would be going strong. Lol

We bailed out. Skunked. Good experience for him at least. Wind is rocking the trees pretty good, so time to call it for safety as well. Not gonna make it tonight, so we will carry on with the crossbow and then to gun season.
Good luck fellow hunters!

Crazy how dead it was with the beautiful weather. Soo much corn still in
Sat Saturday night and chose to call it for the weekend instead of burning the kid up with boredom.

So far, I havent heard of anybody seeing a single deer from my few contacts or from here so far. Yet Michigan youth was 2 weeks ago when it was 90deg and they absolutely slaughtered them on the MI forum I read, with some huge bucks in the mix. Goes to show you just never know!
I told Luke the old saying, that's why they call it hunting/fishing, and not shooting/catching. He says "YEAH I see why"! Lol

My nephew shot a good one last night. He was pretty pumped and I was super excited for him too. Probably wouldn’t care that I post, but I blocked his face and a few other things out in the pic. Broke his brand new Ravin crossbow in quickly.  |

First, congrats to your nephew on a fine buck.
As for my grandson and his weekend, to start with, we stirred up a killdeer at a McDonalds while on a lunch run!
And then we ran over a skunk on our drive in this morning!
Seeing a pattern here!?😜
No deer.
We busted 2 on our dark trek to the stand this morning.
We could barely make out their ghostly silhouettes as they bolted along the field edge.
All said, he loved every minute these past two days.
He simply loves being outdoors and in the woods.
He’s still talking about a 15-20 minute experience this morning.
We scoped some movement in the briars and weeds below the stand.
Alternating our watch for deer,
We’d see a stem move and then nothing.
Then a foot away we’d see a leaf twitch.
Then another bit of flora shaking a bit.
And so on.
Finally, we caught a fleeting glimpse of a mouse!
He couldn’t wait to get home and tell Grandma about the day!
So now we get ready for the rest of the season!
