Felt like sleeping in but I know my dad would have followed suit. Didn’t finish up cleaning my buck until late. The only spot to skin a deer at the Airbnb is infested with ants. Plan on making my 3 hour drive back south after the hunt unless the deer convince us to stay. Good luck guys

Started walking in an hour before daylight thinking I was alone. Appears 2-3 guys were dropped off and their lights were shining almost exactly where I’ve been setting up. Hopefully the last minute audible works out. Praying my dad is able to shoot one today. Get em fellas

Made the three hour trek with my dad after NYE celebrations. Spent all of Tuesday in this block and had a buck skirt around me at 7:30 and 4:00. Really hoping my old man can shoot one this weekend. He’s made 30+ sits on public ground and hasn’t been able to notch a tag. Good luck guys.

Little cousin killed her first doe yesterday. Seeing a few bucks. My first time hunting the Midwest in December. Big front pushing in tonight, hoping we are tagged out by then

Congrats man! What day did you kill?
Headed south after 7 days of scouting/hunting. One buck and two does with the Lift X. Hell of a trip

Had a shooter skirt by me at 55 yards at sunrise. Had a 120” pushing a group of does at 9:30. Debating if I should stay hunting this tree or shift towards the south. Wind is starting to shift east

Well damn, that’s bowhunting for you. You’ll put a bigger one down anyway. Are you beginning to see a few more mature bucks on their feet? I shot a doe last night to break the ice. Nippy out this morning
It’s very entertaining when they are so responsive. How long are you staying? Seeing a few nice bucks driving around. Making first sit now

Are the tolls cash only? Been a few years since I passed through. Left the house at midnight
