I’m on my lease for the first time this year. New section I haven’t hunted before. Planned on an observation sit looking over the field but couldn’t find a good tree. Ended up in a tree that’s too small, way too crooked, and too exposed. But did find a fresh rub under it and can see about 10 beds from up here. Just hoping to get a sense of where and when they’re entering this field area tonight. If I see one or two I’ll call it a success.

Passed on a doe with a fawn at 25 yards. Getting soft in my growing years I guess.

Well here i am again for a morning sit in the same spot i was in yesterday. Im on the ground sitting behind 3 trees that grew together and another right beside them. I can't see much unless I get up on my knees and look over the rise. So Im using my cell camera as my eyes, so I don't make to much movement since I have nothing behind me other than a small gorge. My brother called me a cheater g or my strategy this morning. I yold him look who's calling the kettle black, he will only fish if he can use his fish finder 😂.

I'd love to see a Bassmaster Tournament done from 16' jon boats with 10 hp motors, oars and no electronics. I wonder who would come out on top then?

On stand with my youngest. Had 3 does come from behind us but they angled out of range before getting into our shooting window. I hate those smaller beech trees blocking clear shots.

Well another glorious sit again, but unfortunately didn't see anything other than 2 squirrels and a chipmunk. Next weekend is suppose to be in the mid 40's starting out so Im hoping activity will pick up and the deer will be moving.

Next weekend looks good for sure. I guess I'm anticipating another slow week for most but, after next weekend, I think the activity by both, hunter and deer, will increase.
Good luck!

That's exactly what Im hoping for, but not extremely counting on it. We do live in Indiana, so this time of the year is a temperature roller coaster. Not trying to throw a monkey wrench or anything and I would love to be proven wrong by Mother Nature.

You are correct though. Next weekend may as well be next year as far as the weather forecast goes.

I can't help but to laugh when I read about the guys fortunate enough to be hunting this weekend. It's been 85+ here both days. My neighbor has had pool parties both days. He told me that keeping the pool heated is expensive, but nothing compared to a fall break trip to Disney.
