I'm heading there Saturday as well, looks like decent weather. Beautiful weather. Be nice if it was earlier in the season. Bow hunted it for years. Gun hunted it the last several years. Last year, 2nd day was torrential downpours. I think I was last person out. Lots of big deer sign. What area you planning on hunting?

The last time I hunted it, I hunted kinda midway down the west side, didn't like it as much. How about you?

Headed out here shortly. Made sure I logged in to sign up for my area at exactly 12 on the nose. Got the area I wanted. Big Oaks should really look at doing a sign in like atterbury does instead of the silly call in. Never really failed to get the area I wanted, it's just a hassle. Anyway only shooting a wall hanger as o got my state buck and this really isn't a reduction hunt. Plus I don't have my buddy duff with to help drag out. Good luck to everyone going down and hunting elsewhere. I'll keep you updated on my misery. Anyone on here who's there, I'll be in a red chevy avalanche. Stop and say hey.

Or the real ugly guy doing a bunch of mouth breathing with a fair amount of knuckle dragging too. A guy wouldn't think those are defining traits but Span has leveled up.

Grunted one in as soon as I got in the stand. Behind some thick stuff and couldn't make out anything. Had 3 doe come right under my stand. Couple minutes later 4 pointer came in nose to ground. Someone walked a bit to far from their area and shot about 100 yards away from me when those doe went over the hill

I take back my idea that big oaks go with online check in. System atterbury use's let areas be over booked. Ended up seeing 7 from my stand. 2 little bucks, atterbury requires one main beam to be 15 inches. Didn't really wanna shoot a doe first day. Doe I seen was bigger body than almost both the bucks combined. She was a hoss. Driving out I seen quite a few deer. Reminded me of old jpg. All were doe though. I see atterbury military becoming a reduction hunt in the next few years. They went to 15" one main beam to about force guys to shoot does imo. Had to leave early becoming my beagles broke out of the kennel and I had to round them up. I'll be back tomorrow.

How goes the hunt today

Yesterday was very slow for me. I saw 2 does when I was parking when I got to my area. I was in my stand in an "ok" looking spot. ZERO action from 10:30 until I dark. 2 does ran by right after I let my gun down. 2 does and a spike this morning in the same tree, but I climbed down around 10:00 because of the rain. Not a great hunt, but I will hopefully be back next year.

Seen north of 20 deer, one good branch antler buck today. Just glimpses and couldn't put 15 inches on a main beam. He was well within I'm sure. Seen a huge doe first light. Should have taken her but I was waiting for the big guy following that didn't happen. It's always an awesome hunt. Just wish I could get a second day with no rain. Been a miserable last couple years.
