Boy these last few days have been rough but late last week with the cooler temperatures the bucks and deer in general were really moving. Saturday morning around 10ish this guy zigged when he should have zagged and came wandering by me at 25 yards. My first shot was an intentional heart shot which I thought I missed .... deer just ran a few yards and stood there looking around like he was trying to figure out what had happened. Second shot was straight through both lugs and 40 yards later he laid dead. Turns out my first shot entered at the point of the near side elbow and exited far side forward. Deer are tougher than Ill ever be. Awesome buck and way to keep your composure to pull off 2 kill zone shots. Congrats

I’m about to go out. Weekend is looking good, I’m considering calling in tomorrow and making it a 4-day.
Not expecting a lot tonight, but never know!

I'm going also tonight just for like an hour. I'm torn between it and pickleball but when I look at the date on the calendar I need to be in the woods.

Just went and pulled out my blind and put up a ridge runner 15’ ladder stand. Paid $65 for it at Walmart and it has the tree grabbing claws on it. Took all of 10 minutes to put it up. The wind broke 3 of the 4 tie down points on my rhino blind. Literally hanging on by a thread and blowing around like a kite when we pulled up. I keep my decoy and other gear inside the blind and it was scattered all over 2 acres lol. Replaced the batteries in my trail cam, put it in a different tree to hopefully quit getting videos of passing trains. Would be set up for the rest of the year 🤞

Got out about 3:30 pm. In the spot where I've taken bucks 3 of the last 6 years. Nice and warm out. Buggered one that was under my stand when walking in. Not seeing any mature bucks on cams in the last 3 weeks. But, maybe tonight Big Hank will get bored and move though!

Passing on tonight. 80+ degrees with a steady 20+mph wind with gusts over 30. Time to hang with the kids and assist at 4H shooting sports tonight. Just got home Went to Dr. today then to farm to pull camera cards( pulled a dumb one, had 5 cameras out but only had 3 turned on) went out to eat then on way home we saw deer in 3 different fields. Ruffly 10 total.(All picked beans) the temp here was 55° on the car every where we were. Did get a nice 8 pt on one of the cameras I had on and found 2 more big rubs(not as big as one I posted but big for here

Just finished rattling sequence then my decoy blew over. Went to pick it up, and you guessed it, buck was coming in and I spooked him 🤦

Not exactly live but I went for my first sit this morning. Saw a doe button and 4 pt. 4 pt was pestering but not exactly pushing. Had a guy walk in on me but that's hunting on public ground.

Just a doe and fawn tonight. Not surprised with the temps. I was in a sleeveless shirt and even had to kick my boots off.

Not from the stand but from the laptop on the kitchen table. Had to stop the truck for a forkie that was standing in the road nad wouldn't move, and 300 yds down the road there was a nice 8 point (2x as tall as his ears and about 2" wider than his ears standing in a picked bean field eating from the ground about 30 feet from the road. I tried to get the phone switched over to flash and camera and when I looked up he was gone. This was at 7:20 pm EST.
