Well it looks like we wont have a significate change in the weather until overnight on Wednesday according to the long term forecast.

Ha ha not a chance!

November 7 pm 79 degrees SW wind 5-15 Mostly sunny Another crazy afternoon sit from the willows!!! The intense action started about 4 pm when the deer began to pour into the field from every direction. Bucks everywhere and of all sizes scent checking and chasing does. Had bucks working field edge scrapes, grunting, posturing, chasing each other away from does. For once most of the action ended up on my end the field. I spotted tonight's kill working his way down the field to the west of me. He could resist the flock of does that were feeding in front of me so of course he came to investigate. There was four other bucks within 100 yards of me at the time along with 10-12 does/fawns. He went right to the middle of the group, singled out one of the does, and chased her around for a minute. As this was all happening a doe popped out right next to my stand and watched. Like a lucky horseshoe! Well he quickly lost interest in the doe he was chasing and luckily moved onto chasing the doe near me. He bumped her, thankfully she ran right in front of me, and he slowly followed scent checking the ground. I mouth grunted and stopped him at 25 yards. I let the arrow fly and the Lumenok had me convinced the shot was gold. He ran full sprint out in to the field until he piled up 70 yards later. DOA. It's been a few years since I had a bow kill so it was nice to watch him drop dead in the field. Actually it's great to watch any kill drop. Autopsy confirmed a double lung. It was crazy to witness three other deer walk up to the dead buck. I watched a fawn and two other bucks each walk up to, I'm guessing, to see what the heck he was doing laying on the ground??? Even with the dead buck laying in the field the rut action never stopped. I stayed on stand well past dark hoping the field would clear out a bit before getting down. Bucks were still chasing does until eventually I bumped them off. Lots of pics of this deer, especially in November. Funny thing is he is actually blind in his right eye which is a recent wound. I'm guessing in the past 5-6 days. Deer never saw me coming!!! Amazing that even with injury to his eye all this buck wanted was some doe love. Amazing the power of testosterone! Unfortunately he is busted up pretty good on his left side. Both his g2 and g3 are broken off. In hind sight would have passed on him if I knew that before shooting him? I'm not sure. Everything happened so fast, I doubt it. I honestly saw that g2 and decided I was taking the next possible shot at him. Besides that uniquely tall g2 on his right side, his main beams almost touch at the tips and are about two inches from doing so. Time to think about a game plan for my next tag! Here is some other trail cam pics from the past week or so. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

BBD... Just found him dead in the field. Low 120 9pt Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have seen these deer together numerous times and at this point I'm assuming that this doe has three fawns. Not sure if I have ever seen a doe with triplets. She's a bada$$ if that's the case! Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Been here since 2-230 but the deer are just starting to show themselves now Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Somehow, someway I stepped in cat crap on the way into the stand this afternoon... great cover scent... Wtf. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 7 am 55 degrees SW wind 5-10 Sunny Action still has not been what I had hoped for in the mornings. Saw four deer this morning. A doe, a fawn, a young 8 pt, and a busted up shooter 8 pt. I will say that the shooter 8pt was on a mission. The first time I saw him was when he passed by the stand through the lower portion of the funnel I'm in. I'm assuming he quickly checked the two bedding spots to my west. Half hour later he passed by me through the upper part of the funnel headed in the opposite direction of course. 45 minutes after that I saw him frosting the street as I was heading to the truck. This is not one of "my" bucks that I have on camera but the past three out of five days he has visited my camera. Looking for love! Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That doesnt mean you should start hunting in the parking lot of the mall

Damn, my trigger finger is getting itchy!!! Just passed on a good buck at five yards because all the points on his left side were broken off. Almost right down to the beam. I guess 2020 is his lucky year. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 6 am SW wind 10-15 mph 60 degrees Partly sunny Boring morning. Saw a few does, saw a couple of small bucks, but overall kind of a boring morning. Maybe it's the weather, who knows. I'll be honest, I have not been impressed with the am hunts so far this year. Up until about two weeks ago I really haven't hunted the mornings. I really tried to hold off on them through most of october as to not put that additional pressure on the deer. Off to work! Back at it in the morning!
