Back local this evening, went to big oaks this past weekend for the first time and even though I didn't shoot a deer I had a good time with my friend. I was just amazed at how big the place and all the sections are, and not being a big woods hunter I think I could really get into it if I had bigger woods to hunt closer to home. Crane is the same way 65000 acres of ground just massive areas . Big timber woods totally different than hunting food plots and crops .

Doesnβt usually get picked till December. The farmer works for the county road department so weekends is all he has.

Ended the night without seeing anything else. My buddy and I sat on the tailgates, had a beer and discussed the hunt. We both have permission to hunt there but, I tell him to run that property the way he wants to. It just only permission piece so, I want it to be setup and hunted the way he wants. He has a couple more stands he's wanting to put up but, we'll probably wait until next season. He's learning a lot about the place.
I think I'll be back out in the morning. The stand where I saw the big 10 can only really be hunted on a south wind. So with the forecasted south winds, I think I better be there.
Good night all! Thanks for tagging along with my ramblings throughout the day. Lol

Just watched Don Higgins Rut Report podcast. Like many Don is seeing very little daytime movement with these warm temps. First 2 hours a.m. , last hour p.m. today. Expect big changes once cold front arrives. (For most IN , thats Friday.)

I was looking at the forecast around the gun opener. πππππππππππ Showing 60's leading up to it, then 50's and rain. Hope they blow it big time and it snows and is cold. ππππππππππ I'd be perfectly happy for a light coating of snow, 40 degrees and 1 mph wind.

I have seen a huge decrease in activity on the trail cams. Only one or two deer in 24 hours instead of 6-12+. This is 99% does. The bucks have disappeared, even the spikes and forkies have disappeared.

Gonna take today off....again LOL! A friend of mine gave me 2 nice ladder stands as he moved out of the county. With the help (a lot of help) from my son in law we got it down and set up yesterday evening. Sure is nice to have a helper that is considerably more flexible than I am. Still seeing the big 10 but anywhere from 9PM to 4AM. Got this odd looking fellow a 3 days ago. My son watched him at about 60 or so yards and said the left side only has one point. Not to make like of you genesis but it made me feel better about my forgetfullness, a couple of years agao got all set up in the stand, ready to go and then......no release. At least there is someone else out there who forgets. Good luck to those getting after it today.

The bucks have disappeared, even the spikes and forkies have disappeared. Ya, with near record high temps forecasted doesn't look real good for today. I am gonna go for few hours this a.m. , sitting out tonight and tomm. a.m.,not real optimistic. All deer movemeny charts say bad, or poor movement today.

I don't have good vibes about this morning's chosen spot. Wind direction isn't exactly as predicted, and it's certainly pretty breezy already. I'm already up in a tree, so I'm committed whether I want to be or not. Maybe a big buck will show up exactly where he needs to for me to remain undetected. You just never know about these things.

I had that same thought about our setup this morning My glimmer of hope this morning is that I've felt great about spots that never even produced a deer sighting. Lol!
