Zero deer spotted for me today. I'm really going to miss bow season! Heading into the spot I've been holding out for opening day of gun, someone I hunt with decided to go into the area tonight and saw a monster. Go figure. Well hopefully he was unbothered and shows again tomorrow! Awsome to see you here Tommy and good luck tomorrow! There isn't anyone that deserves a 200" more then you my man! Fingers are crossed for both you and your daughter tomorrow!

Last sit of bow [emoji26][emoji26]! In a spot that I have not sat all season. Corner of 2 huge bedding areas. Just need 1 hot doe!

Yea, I headed in early. Had a 3/4 of a mile walk in, reached the stand a 5:45. Zero movement yet, going to throw everything I got at them today, might even rattle even though I cant ever get it to work.

Nothing like listening to someone sight in their gun at 6;50! Hell what am I thinking they probably shot a deer, close enough to the right day.

Awesome! Congrats!!

Notta, zilch, nothing

Was able to slip out the back door from work. In my blind over looking clover and Chicory. Didn't have alot of time to waste walking and this was the best option. Getting Down to the wire here, fingers are crossed! Good luck tonight guys and girls.

Trying to sneak out of work early today. Debating on whether to hunt food or cover with this snow......[emoji848]

Go figure, and I'm at work.....

Sat all day AGAIN. 46 deer sightings throughout the day. All the yearlings I saw alone last Thursday have been reunited with their mothers. Crazy how all the doe in this area were breeding the same day or two! The last hour was insane with deer coming from every direction! Was impossible to move to look to see what the next deer showing up was. Not a single buck all day over a first rack. Could not believe with the amount of deer in the area. Acorns were the key tonight. Back to work for 3 days then I more bow hunt, then off all week for the boom sticks.

Last 2 hours have died right off. First light till 9 they were moving. Nothing within range and nothing that I would want to shoot. Praying for a mid day cruiser!

Sure is perfect. 5 doe and a first rack so far. Back where I saw the high volume of yearlings one Thursday. Looks like moms are back from their dates. Crunch time for me also, might be my last sit for bow season besides Friday. Another all dayer, need to get it done today!

Wow Matt! Congrats man!

Looks alot like a deer I know....

This morning was pretty slow here, didn't see a deer until 10. 2 big donkeys with a yearling. 15 mins later a cruising 1st rack and that was it. On the downwind side of big bedding now. Action has been unbelievably slow here for me but it's what I got and it's the rut. My target buck is MIA over the last week. Would really like it if he would get his A$$ back home!

I won't shoot at a moving deer. I would rather have him jump the string and miss then make a bad shot.

I always stop them if it needs to be done. With that said I ALWAYS aim low, especially in that situation. If they are alert before the shot they are more the likely going to drop. Aim for the heart, if they drop you still have a chance at the lungs.

Absolutely gorgeous morning, these are the ones we think about all year. Zero movement here so far.

One first rack and that was it tonight.

Took last night and this morning off to recharge. With this crazy wind I slipped into a big bedding area. Sure would love to put my eyes on a mature deer , since I've yet to see one yet this season. Well, here goes nothing and if you are out tonight good luck and hang the F on!

Another all day sit. Saw somewhere in the neighborhood of 35. Tons of yearlings with no momma. I'm sure some where repeat visitors. 15 racked bucks and all but 2 were first racks. They were pounding the acorns. Once these does get bread I think it should get hot! To many yearlings on their own in my neck of the woods. These bucks are going to be a search mode.

2 more 1st racks and a button buck here now. Never seen so many 1st racks in my life! Sizing each other up.

Another 1st rack just came by at 70 yards. I definitely agree with Lockdown. Have to wait it out.

Same to you!

The last hour has been pretty solid. Have 2 doe milling around feeding right now. At 11 heard a loud buck growl behind me but was not able to see the deer. If you have never heard one before its truly insane! It's the 3rd time I've heard it live!. As 0f 12 PM, 18 deer seen, 7 bucks, and the one other that growled that I didnt see. Hopefully the rest of the day is just as exciting.
