At least he’s out there with you. I miss those days, now my boys have kids of their own and stay too busy to make it to the woods with the old man. I totally feel that Harry Chapin song.
Be sure and ride the subway a few times

Target cull was here 15 minutes ago, hope he returns.

Cousin’s grandson hunting in the back for a fat doe. Very little activity overnight so they should be hungry.

Good luck and be safe fellas.
Another issue in my case is that kids grow up and move away WAY more than my generation, and even moreso, the Greatest Generation, where families often lived adjacent or on the same street with other family members.

Both my boys enjoy hunting, but with the distance apart, and young babies, it’s almost impossible to get them on even one trip per year. And I’m about to lose the 1000 acres I’ve hunted for almost free for 15 years when my cousin sells the place. The other places I hunt are too Spartan for most of the current generation, even though we did scouts and spent a fair amount of time in tents.

Was still half asleep and snapped to just to see horns disappearing into the woods. Big arse, assume I fricked up a good chance. Doe made a pass about 400 yards away. Hoping for a fat doe or one of the cull bucks with wonky racks.

Good luck guys, planning a long sit today.

What an afternoon. Seems like it’s finally on. Saw a lot of flirting, more deer than I’ve seen in 3 days. Highlight was a 3 1/2 year old 6 pt very full of himself working over some Privet with his horns scraping, rubbing and chewing, then digging out a scrape and pissing in it. In all my year of hunting, my first time seeing it live, 100 yards away. Then he kicked his heels up and hopped away. Made my week.

Nearly a 4 hour sit this morning, only thing brown I saw was a squirrel. No deer of any sort on any cameras since before the hot weather spell. Very windy today, which I know they don’t like, but thought the cool would have them moving.

Hunting a blind this afternoon perfectly situated for wind direction that had some afternoon bucks as recently as Christmas Day. Can’t imagine I’ve disturbed them, only one vehicle on 1000 acres. Has me puzzled, this week has always been our best and it’s been awful thus far. Tomorrow may be a pack a sandwich and sit all day sort of day.

I’ve already looked into these prior to getting a side by side with a hitch I put a rack on. Amazon is loaded with options, just looked. “Deer Sled for Game Dragging” should hook you up.

In the box for 3, very back of the property. Unbelievably hot, hard to believe tomorrow’s high is predicted to be 46*. South wind picking up, this food plot is pretty narrrow, hoping not too much wind, and I’m downwind of the feeder and plot. Hung a Code Blue wick, we shall see. Did jump 2-3 driving back, still only the single small doe on the 4 cell cameras. Hoping the cold gets them moving again.

Tortured myself and watched until the end of the game last night. Decided then to sleep in with the crap conditions. 4 cell cameras had exactly 1 picture of a small doe, so seems as if I made the right call. Will likely try this afternoon.

Good luck and be safe fellas.
LaTech and SLU pushed our OL around too. Weak and poorly coached.

Multiple times booth ref called BS on calls
Might have been better off if they had all opted out. I must have blocked just how bad they are. Damn.

Foggy and no wind. Since this shite weather started, virtually nothing on camera, the few showing up are mommas still with babies hanging around. Only a couple of bucks off 4 cameras. Not even much at night.

Sat here yesterday afternoon, only saw 1 doe, and a cow horn spike that will be eradicated if he shows up this morning.

I’ll be back in the saddle this afternoon, heading for The Landmass, hoping to be in a blind by 3. Very little activity the past couple of days with the warmth and the fog. Cold mornings next week!

Be safe and shoot straight guys.
