I’m back in where I saw some action Saturday. Hoped there is some good movement after the drizzle clears out.

Dang it. A big buck just came from the road - downwind - and got my scent. He’s gone.

Just had a small 6 come through nose to the ground. He stopped and freshened up what appears to be an already established scrape 20 yds from my tree.

A nice young 8 sniffing around on the other side of the creek. 10 or so wood ducks keeping me entertained this morning too.

Got in the blind at 6, sun up at 8 (even though it barely even got brighter) and climbed out at 9:45 for an appointment. In nearly 4 hours, not even the squirrels were moving. There was a fine mist just floating around on the breeze, but only the crows were stirring.

3rd buck of the morning just came through. Really nice 8 came in and hit the same scrape as the 6 did earlier and then came over next to my stand and destroyed a sapling. Fun to watch nature!!
Edit…now a spike is at the scrape. 😁

After the big buck, 4 does and fawns moved through.
I’m getting some work in now, I’ll be back out this evening in a slightly different spot.

Off the subject, but can anyone recommend a processor in the Evansville area Kolleys Deer Processing in Lynville Indiana.

Very uneventful hunts the last 4 times out. This morning should have been good after the rain but nothing was moving. Back out at about 2pm. Hopefully they hit some scrapes this evening.

Much like everyone else I didn't see much on Saturday. A small 6-8 pointer walked by at 10:30 and that was it for the day. I did finally get a pretty good buck on my trail cam though a few days ago. Hoping he sticks around for the next couple of weekends.

Man I figured today would have them moving, temps dropped way off and it's the first major cold front of the season I figured we'd see some deer down this morning. Oh well maybe this afternoon.

Usually on misty overcast days with it being low light and cold temps the big boys are on their feet this time of yr. Not the case. I know people will say hogwash, but i do think the deer numbers are down in my area and it has not been due to ehd. Been out 15 times and have only seen 6 deer.

I’m back in a tree. I think this is a really good looking spot, but I don’t have much confidence for tonight. I stomped all around in here before settling on this tree. Wind is swirling also.
Already seen a yearling buck I chased out to get in here, also heard another deer blowing downwind.
Amateur hour.
