Today, I'm packing my truck and heading out 6am tomorrow morning. I should be there just before 7am and heading to one of two stands depending if raining or not. Hunting all day Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to noonish. I will take a short lunch break each full day. I'm looking forward hunting two new areas. It's amazing how the woods change after 35 years.

Just heard this morning that the natives shot a buck I’ve been watching a couple miles away last night with a 22 rifle. Waiting on pictures.

I was hoping to go out this morning for the first time time this season. I had surgery on both legs Wednesday and have 15 total incisions. I think I could have made it up a stand if I was dropped off. It's been raining off and on all morning. I decided it wasn't worth getting wet or slipping and falling. Maybe the rain will hold off tomorrow morning.

Boy weather forecast are all over the place of course. As to when its going to rain how much etc. Surprise. I know, they never seem to be right. Alot of times they call for a certain wind and then i pick a stand sbd it will be blowing the totally opposite. I dont believe their ran radar works anymore either.frustrating.

Maybe the rain will hold off tomorrow morning. Probably was the best decision. If you fell or get infection in the incisions there may not be any more hunting this year or ever. I have made a few of those bad decisions befor. I hunted on crutches one year after knee surgery. I could not believe just how hard it is to navigate a woods on crutches. I did hunt out of a ground blind so no climbing. Onebentarrow

I'm glad I stayed in. Another day or two to heal will help. I got mine and my step sons skinning knives shaving sharp. Got broadheads on our bolts too. We will be ready to go this weekend if the rain gives us a break.

Once you figure them out you can get a great edge. I'll sharpen my Buck Vanguard before season and it will still be sharp after 3 or 4 deer.

I saw a big buck today at work. Probably 22”+ wide and a big drop tine. He chased a doe across the road at 0930.
I went in there at lunchtime and found a scrape by a small pond about 100 yards into the woods from where he emerged. Picked out a tree, and I’ll be in there tomorrow morning.

Not sure natives have to abide by many wildlife laws... Yeah, they are legal. They sent me a picture, I of course said “dang it, that’s my big one”….it wasn’t even close…lol They should stay clear of that spot now.
