Just got setup for the evening. New stand on the pinch of a creek bed. Need this north wind to get in here and the 10-15 mph wind definitely helps. Between standing corn and a small food plot. See what the evening brings…..

Just got back from taking my climber to the woods just in case my daughter backs out tomorrow morning. This is her second season and it's all about her. I am more excited about gun season than I have been in years (except last year) I haven't killed anything yet, but I have got my share in the past. If the day comes that I'm not excited, I'm having a big sale! If you have kids to take hunting (I do), you are blessed beyond belief. 10 times out of 10 I would take one my kids hunting and enjoy it so much more. Good luck tomorrow Welder!

Now I'm back to sitting during archery season listening to rifle shots. 😞

A doe just showed up and checking a scrape. Moving very slow. Looks like Mr. Buck holding off until dark.

One of the bucks I’m contemplating on harvesting walked passed me at 45 yds at 5:20. That shot is too far for me so none taken. Question I have is..he walked the same way I need to leave!! Do I walk out without a light or with a light??

Do I walk out without a light or with a light?? Tough choice. But, in those situations, if I planned on trying to sneak out, I'd take the long way around without a light. If you're wanting to go the same way? Use a light and be loud. Don't sound like a hunter or make him feel as if he's being hunted.

Alright everyone, things will be obviously changing tomorrow morning. Please don't forget your orange if you're roaming around after sunrise. Remember your muzzle discipline. And use caution crossing fences with your firearms and climbing into and out of your stands/blinds.
Good luck everyone! Hunt safe and God bless!!!

I told my good friend he could hunt with me this year, he just gun hunts. We will be hunting the reduction zone this weekend and he just wants a couple deer.

Funny, sure, but smart thinking on this person's part! I know of an incident with an excited hunter that occured about 3 miles from here way back when. They shut down hunting on that farm until it sold a year and a half ago.

Do I walk out without a light or with a light?? I never use a light coming out, as I get down the exact minute that shooting light ends and still have enough light to make the trek to my Jeep. On morning hunts, I don't use a light either if the moon phase is right. Obviously you guys that hunt plots or agricultural fields probably have to wait for total darkness to climb down.

Had a goofy little 6 come in about 1645 and hang out for about 20 minutes. Heard milling around in the CRP and cut behind me as usual but no more players. Zero dark thirty I'll be in the ground blind in the field until full light when I'll sneak to a new set up.

I had two more bucks show up out in the cornfield that I needed to walk through so I just let out a couple barks and they split. I walked out with no light and didn’t hear anything running or blow at me.
