Last nite, went to a stand at end of a cut corn field. Hadn't hunted it this year, saw about a dozen does and 3 bucks.  First does came in as I watched them , lead nanny got to 20 and suddenly looked right up at me. I hadn't moved and didn't then. She went back a couple steps and turned downwind to check it out. Got directly downwind in the brush but couldn't detect me somehow...

Next was a forky and a few minutes later a decent 8 . Could have maybe shot the 8 quartering on at 10 yards, but don't like the chances of a bad deal on that.

More does ad fawns out of range ,then 5 or 6 does and fawns including 2 very large does and a spike that came by at 6 yards.

I won't regret not trying for the 8 point but may on those two big hammer headed does!!  :biglaugh:

Hopefully you can catch up with that big guy! How late does the season run down there? The buck I was hunting dropped his horns last weekend so my season ended early.

Season ends on Jan 15, our bucks usually drop late Jan thru March . I have a pic of one with a bum back leg that has already dropped ...

Had pics of him last winter and didn’t figure he would make it but he did. Rack was screwed up on opposite side of bum leg .

It's amazing how hardy of creatures they are.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

I'm surprised the coyotes haven't done him in to be honest. Got some pretty good sized ones around...

Don’t blame you at all Kenny.

Negative temps with a wind chill will suck the fun right out of a hunt.

9 degrees tonite and wrong wind for the stand on my place. So I took a little drive and pulled in on the edge of the road where I can see the stand. There was a medium buck in the bean patch when I pulled up. He didn’t like the truck sitting there so he trotted off and hopped the fence.

 Then with about 20 minutes of light 2  bucks and another deer came out by my stand . One was the one I’d like to see up close I’m pretty sure or an equally nice one. It’s hard to be sure with fading light and weeds and beans for a background.

They fed out into the beans and 13 more deer joined them .

I may hunt there tomorrow evening If the wind is right  ...  :goldtooth:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I know the feeling, happens to me more than I care to admit.  I've still got a statewide tag I'm trying to fill, just not having much luck (or time) to do it. I'm hoping that the rain holds off for Saturday so that I could at least get a hunt or two in for this next weekend. 

Keep after em Kenny.

Wind chill below 0 this morn , so shop work is the deal of the day. See what afternoon looks like but supposed to be stiff winds then too.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I'm gettin old I guess, -10 wind chill just doesn't appeal to me anymore...

Single digits all day today, and breezy too. :campfire:
Stay sharp, Kenny.
