Beautiful morning in East Central Indiana. Only took 10 minutes into legal light to be fooled by a squirrel 🤦🏼♂️

I’ll be headed to a public land place I used to hunt for years before I started getting into private.
Want to give my place a break and am on doe patrol.
This is also the place I killed my buck last year and also where I have taken my biggest buck to date.

 He came in around 9:00 am with a smaller buck from behind me. He turned broadside at 15 yards. It was a heart shot but he only went about 10 yards and fell over which was kinda weird. Not a giant but pretty cool to get one on the first sit of the year. |

The one with a bow went about 15-20 yards and toppled over. The one with the rifle went 200 yards out into a hay field before he fell. |

Killing a buck this early is bittersweet.
Happened to me twice.
Haven’t regretted it though.

Nice one buckert!
Sat in a stand overlooking an orchard this evening but didn't see a thing.... A few squirrels, birds, and 2-3 chipmunks. No deer. About 7:15 one blew in the distance though. Then around 7:30 2 coyote packs started calling - one in the pasture near where I hunt and the other in the woods across the road. Walking back to the car I saw a large yote come bounding across the yard... Looked a lot like a German Shepherd but no dogs here and definitely acted more like a yote plus was near the field I heard the first pack in. Put the scope on it for in - don't have permission to shoot yotes here.
