Just got settled in. With the threat of high winds and bad weather for the next couple days I would really like to get it done today! Got supplies packed so this is going to be an all day sit.

Things have started to heat up finally. At about 4pm I heard two bucks fighting then they came right by me. The first buck was to small and I probably should have tried to shoot the second but he just wasn't quite what I am looking for.

Been in the stand maybe 30min and already had a little fork horn cruise by. Hopefully that keeps up and they keep getting bigger!

Well movement has not been good at our place. I have seen 3 different groups of does over the last 2 days with no bucks in sight or trailing. Hopefully things pick up soon.
Congratulations Woody that is a great buck!

Only saw two does tonight. They were all by themselves. Hopefully things heat up as the week moves forward. Back at it tomorrow!

Well its been a slow afternoon so I made a move back to the field I have had the most luck in. And of course now that I get setup the wind keeps switching.

Back in the stand. After 32 degrees this morning the current temp of 52 might as well be 70 because that's what it felt like walking back in.

Just had an A-10 warthog fly over me near Vevay, IN...one loud plane I am not to far away with they would fly this way. I would love to see them.

Had a young doe come by first thing but quiet since. I really thought this cold crisp morning would get them on their feet.

In stand and ready to have a good day. Last night was a pretty good hunt so hopefully it carries over to the morning with these cold temps.

At 4:15 a small doe came in & now for the last 25 min I have had a 4 pointer fall in love with my decoy.

Sounds like the farmer is finally taking out his giant corn field just down the road. I bet he is seeing deer!

In about 7 hours I will officially be on vacation until the 16th. Its gonna be a good week! Me too... except for the 7 hours thing. i wont last that long ... im just going to have to start my vacation at noon today and get in a stand. It is about 20 degrees cooler here than it was yesterday this time. Went to the local Rural King and grabbed their last remaining Millennium stand and figure to swap it out in place of a ladder stand mid day tomorrow. I love those ladder stands for gun hunting but I just really like a loc on for bowhunting. The stand is in a spot that will see a lot of sit time in the next week so I figured I need a stand there that I feel confident in. Yeah whats worse is once I get off work I still have about a 4 hour drive down to our place. The forecast for this weekend looks great. The forecast shows about a 15 degree temp drop from today to tomorrow so I hope that really gets them moving. I will be packing my climber for this trip just in case I need to make a move. Its easier this time of year to just use a climber then move an entire stand.
