Several deer have been seen, including a few bucks. Guys are having a blast, even tho its kinda hot.

Weather is about to change , they should have a good week ahead, lows in 40s and low 50s and high around 70. Acorns are just starting to drop, maybe the cooler weather will bring it on!!

Can't wait to start seeing some pics and hearing some stories from you all!

Wind is in nw, so the new crossroad stand will be in use tonite.

Helped the guys locate a spot to gillies hunt too, hopin,hopin!!

The stand where Curt shot the doe last year is raining acorns around it , so it should be good too.    

I'm going out behind d the house in a bit to see of I can see fat boy.

Good buck seen late yesterday at Crossroads stand, new stand hung today in another good spot.

Weather is great now, if the deer go by the playbook, should have some news soon!!

Last nite a swing and a miss from the old tractor, sitting between the front tire and the blade.

Today I didn't get over to visit due to company but texts said 5 bucks seen today!!        

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I know that tractor....

[DanielB89]

that's awesome!  Ready to see some pictures!

Almost, 2 bucks missed this am. One from ground jumped string.  Other from stand where Guru shot his doe last year, was pretty close and shot over him. Easily done on both. Deer are moving well , saw bucks 2 of 3 days this week on the way to work. Loving me some cool weather!!!

First hunt is done, one of the guys' wife had emergency surgery. They left a day early, had a lot of fun, and no animals were harmed in the first week.

Got home from the kennym lease today. Needless to say we had an awesome time! While all of us have been shooting longbows for years, none of us are seasoned deer hunters so we are really learning on the fly.
 Started out hot in the 80's and 90's so the deer weren't moving much but it gave us some time to get reacquainted with the lease. This year has soy beans on both tracts and the undergrowth is much denser than last year.
 Almost every time we neared the old tractor we bumped deer or turkey so we decided to set up a ground blind there. Here is a pic of me in the blind. We added some more brush in the front after this picture. Just a little cramped but shootable out front and over the blade to the left. I sat in the blind the next morning...

Looking forward to heading your way next week Kenny!  Our season opens tomorrow, so will get a hunt or two here before we leave.  Hope the cool weather and deer movement continues there. Have you seen anymore of fat boy?
