Well here I am set up in a tree. Had no plans of hunting today because we leave for Louisiana at 3:30. But…..I had 2 shooters on camera early this morning. I couldn’t resist. If I kill one I’m in trouble. Gonna have to make the cleaning/quartering up fast.

I’ve seen 2 does so far. One at 350 yards out in the field and the other at 80ish. Not much movement; even the squirrels are sleeping in.

Out in the city park again. Got here late due to a wreck and walked in right at daylight. Seen 4, what I thought were does, on the walk in. Nothing is moving including the squirrels. My cameras here are dead. Had 2 small bucks on camera in 10 days.

I hunt in Jasper County and I saw at least 6 different bucks over the last 4 days. We had hot does bringing in all of them. The bucks really get fired up when there is a hot doe around. It always amazes me. I guess when She is horny only once or twice a year you need to take advantage of that! 😂
Good luck everyone out. Stay safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽.

Looked at my check stubs online this morning, and due to some sort of mix-up, they paid me overtime for opening day of firearms season. I was in a treestand. LOL! I reported it and it'll be deducted from my next check. What's weird is that we use a time clock that scans your fingerprint and it shows both a clock in and clock out time for me.

Paid to hunt!! Does that make you a paid “Pro Hunter”?! 😉🤣 .

I hadn't been out since the 11th but, I hunt central Jasper County and my woods were on fire with chasing the first week of November. I'm eager to get back out Friday morning to see how things are going. I know on the 18th, almost all of my hunting neighbors tagged bucks and they were all talking about the chasing going on.

I just came in. I seen 2 buttons and 6 does this morning. No bucks. My cams have been awfully slow. Averaging 1 or 2 pics a day since monday and they have been very small bucks at night. Think i need a break. Getting frustrated especially knowing neighbor already killed the buck i wanted. Going to take the boys crappie fishin the rest of the day i think. Get back after it tomorrow.

I'm not sure where you're currently located but, here in Jasper County there's a lot of ag and flat land. I enjoyed going down to Greene County and seeing/exploring that different terrain while turkey hunting. We live in Monroe county, the farm is in newton county. My favorite is the large hardwood forest with big steep ridges, I guess it feels more rugged in a way. The farm up north is 400 acres of open ag field and 80 of woods, essentially one long wood line. I see loads of deer every time I go up because the wood line is a defined transition they like to travel in. I would hunt it more often if it wasn’t 3 hours away and my woods weren’t in the backyard 😁 How is the wild pheasant population in Newton county these days?

ROFL Good luck to everyone that is out there today! This is live from the office, I heard 3 groups of 2 shots each around 8am. I have no idea of what direction they came from, but to hear them from inside they must have been relatively close.

They’re still around but, few and far between. Wife’s grandpa is always telling me stories of the good ole days. He used to just walk around farm to farm and bust up groups of birds and rabbits most weekends. He also likes to talk about how much nicer it was to just hunt any farm around without really getting permission, just because everyone knew each other lol

Only ended up seeing the 2 does this morning. Got down a little bit ago. Going to get some of my deer packaged up and then work on my house addition. Hoping to get drywall done the first week of December… which is quickly approaching. 😬😂

I got a lot of catching up to do. Our internet and phone svc is out at home, so only looking from outside locations, and my wheels are constantly spinning right now.
Nothing new for us to report. Good luck men.
