Welll I don’t see a post yet , so ....HEREEEE WEEE GOOOOO! Currently getting slaughtered by mosquitos! I needed to trim lanes for this blind , so I decided to pop a squat and cross my fingers 🤙🏽🤠 I’m smack dab in the middle of a 50 yard funnel , between corn and bean fields. I have a clear shooting lane to each field edge , which should give me a shot at anything that uses this funnel. Staying out of my honey holes until November, so I feel lucky to have some different lower percentage of opportunity spots to enjoy until then. 8-9 mosquitos bites so far, high winds (at least they’re in the right direction), and some peanut butter crackers. That’s life currently. Good luck to all members this season, and congrats to the youth that have already gotten bloody !

Update: I forgot my peanut butter crackers on the dash. This is going to be a long season.

I’m saving my deer reduction zone for cooler weather. Last year after I tagged out I went back to pick up my gear and found close to 30 new scrapes in just a couple of days.

Annual youth season pic before the disappointment of not seeing any deer again! Thread wasn't up and running during youth season.

I’m saving my deer reduction zone for cooler weather. Last year after I tagged out I went back to pick up my gear and found close to 30 new scrapes in just a couple of days. I feel ya! My reduction spot is my main spot. Trying to earn a buck early , so I don’t have to worry about it later. I’m only sitting on edges (with proper wind), and close to the truck. Hoping to only bump deer in , and not out.... if I do bump them. Easy in and out , and I get to enjoy my fix (hunting ). Set up again on this sweaty September day, wearing a t shirt and basketball shorts lol I do have a camo netting around this 2 man , so I almost feel like it’s ok. At least I’m minimizing sweat 🤷🏿♀️😂 I’m at the end of a bluff , with 50 yards between my stand and the edge of the bean field. Beans are 95% brown , so I suspect they’ll be gone soon. I’m hoping to catch someone coming to hit the few beans that are left , or funneling through to cross the road going to the corn at last light. Wind should be blowing my scent over where I’m guessing they will pass. Mock scrape and licking branch are 20 yards behind me , and this tree should give me good cover to position for a shot there as well. Birds and squirrels are lively , and HuntWise says 6pm will be the best chances today. I’d honestly be happy to see any deer , just to restore my confidence that I know what I’m doing still lol

Good luck, I’m going out tomorrow to check out the woods but not hunt. Think I’ll set up a camera to see if anyone is trespassing. Good looking setup you have.

If a squirrel pees and poops on me while I'm hunting well, that's one death warrant signed.

I’ve stuck a couple to trees before. I’m tired of asking the homeowner for their 24’ ladder to retrieve hung squirrels lol plus it’s not cheap ! 😅😂

Sitting back in HNF behind the camper this morning. Have my daughter with me and it’s her first time to tag along. Hope we see something, but if not this sure beats work. Got her tucked away in this deadfall sitting in my turkey chair. She’s been getting pelted with acorns all morning long.

My buddy that let's me hunt his place passed away about a month ago. His family has been gracious enough to allow me to continue hunting the property and I am so thankful for that. Some things have changed out here but I will continue to respect him and his family as I always have and honor him in such a manner. I was unable to pre season prep as I normally do but here I am sitting down in the swamp.

Just had one get in to about 30 yards to our left. Never heard it at all. Only knew it was there because it ran off when it spotted movement.

Opening day sit, from the landowners back yard, waiting on the deer family to cross the yard and hop the fence. I’m sitting in a wicker rocking chair , in muck boots/ shorts/ camo shirt. Eating beef jerky and living my best life. I’m just happy to be here 🤙🏽 Good luck friends !

I've been sitting in my glider on my deck. One fawn walked by about 20 minutes ago. Bucks still holding tight until dark.
