November 29 pm 31 degrees NNW wind 5 mph Cloudy A doe and two fawns visited the cut bean field at dusk. Definitely going to have to give this set another shot. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Looooooong walk in but I'm here and on the ground for the first time this year. Almost a year ago to the day I was in this exact same place and missed a buck. Very similar setup. Let's hope it ends better this time. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 29 am 29 degrees N wind 5 mph Cloudy Quite a few deer this morning. Bumped a single deer walking in. Bumped a stinky buck getting into my stand. By the sounds of it he was bedded 50 yards or so from me. Had a few deer walk through in the dark. Saw another 6 does/fawns after day break. I also got a picture of a piebald squirrel. Cameras are showing the best movement of course is in the dark. I think it's time to hunt from the ground and start getting away from stands.

seriously considering sitting this am out...

November 27 pm 43 degrees Cloudy SW wind 5 mph becoming 20+ with gusts 35+ Not a ton of deer movement this pm. Had a doe fawn in the field when I was walking in. Had another fawn in the woods behind me about 430 or so. And last but not least, I saw a young buck under the neighbors apple tree when I was walking out. Certainly not a huge fan of this time of year. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well the sunny skies gave into pouring rain followed by take force winds. Some crazy weather in the first 35 minutes on stand. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll have to try it. I started at 90 and slowly decreased. I just ordered a bench rest so I just need to find some more range time. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes the weather forecast sucks!!! Hoping for human influenced deer movement tomorrow morning. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Unfortunately there's nothing they can really do. I see it every year in that spot. It's secluded so bodies get dumped. I'm just glad they are only deer! Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Let me clarify, the picture only shows the two that weren't butchered/processed. There was two other carcasses that I didn't take pictures of. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 27 am 41 degrees SE wind 5 mph Cloudy Rain and wind on the way Very few gunshots heard this morning. With weather on the way it was worth a shot to be in a tree. Had two does and two fawns feed in the cut corn field for about an hour this morning and that would be it. On my way out, I noticed four deer carcasses scattered along the side of the road. Two were fully butchered and I took a picture of two that weren't exactly. One is a mature doe only field dressed. The other is a fawn that they started to cut up and stopped for some reason. Gun season truly brings out the worst in our sport. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

One single gun shot so far this morning Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Saved by the clock. 30 minutes after dusk.

November 26 pm 54 degrees SW becoming NW 5 mph Partly sunny Well... I never saw a deer walking in or from the stand. I have been leaving my stands at dark to help mask my exits due to the fact I have been hunting field edges in the afternoons. After not seeing anything I decided to leave a bit early. I got down from the stand, walked the edge of the field, and as I was walking up the tractor path I kicked out a big buck from the woods. He ran out and stood in the middle of the path 80 yards. I put the crosshairs on him as he just stood there. And stood there. And stood there. A good 5,6,7 minutes. The damn clock saved him. He must have been bedded within 100 yards of my stand and I just happen to bump him on my way out Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Definitely need some more range time. I actually shot two shots and then i would swab the barrel. Two more and swab again.

Well it's a damn heat wave but here I am on stand. But it's all good because I covered myself in face paint from head to toe and I have my Scentblocker banana hammock on. Right on cue the wind seems to have switch and is now NW. Fingers are crossed something makes a detrimental mistake. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

today i settled with 80 grains of blackhorn 209 w/ barnes 50 cal 250 grain spit-fire tmz Im not totally satisfied yet but that combo seemed to be the best.

Yes. I am shooting 3" Rem accutips. Easy decision after just shooting them once.
