Smithdale Ms
Rain and 59 degrees
Just got in a box on road between hardwoods and pines along creek. 35 Remington lever gun
My oldest in a ladder overlooking old beaver pond slough. There have been 5 does hanging out there religiously.
My wife and middle son in box on 2 acre plot on other side of the property. Hope they move when the rain stops.

This rain isn't stopping anytime soon. I’m back at the camp to eat and get my 4 wheeler.

Just barely raining here. I will sit till about 230-3 and then walk to the house. Gonna take the wife and kids out tonight.

I’m at 3 and in the same boat on another.

Concerning hunting - I just have to bring one or two with me. I will build a box stand for next year to ensure I can always take one.

Just dont build it on the ground with pallets unless you bring your judge .410

Have t gone more than 30-45 min between deer sightings but been a lot of the same 2 spikes. Wish ole big boy would make the same laps they are searching for does

I got a stand in some hardwoods near the thicket all the deer are going in and out of. Considered making a move for the evening sit

Mixed bag hunt in Oklahoma. 1 spoonie, 3 bushy tails and a giant gnarly mainframe 7pt skull. Huge bases and lots of mass on the rack.

I found the deer skull while chasing the squirrels which I saw while walking back from the duck hunt.

Back at it
Centerville, no rain, slightly cooler than this AM

Ladder stand between a pine stand and a pond, slightly drunk..

Waiting for the ribeyes that are marinating The camp.

Hope y’all kill something and post the pics

Only have 150gr loaded. I want the deer dead in their tracks. I don’t want to chase them into the swamp.
