I slept in too cold for me but my brother wanted the trifecta! He got an 8pt at bow, spike and doe at gun now wanted one at Muzzy season. Well he went out this morning at dark sat in his favorite spot. Said he blew out a lot of deer going in. Along came a single doe and shot it at 50 yards with Muzzle loader. Double lung shot deer went 70 yards! Left little to no blood. I was amazed cause we have snow. I went down with the quad to get him and we retraced the track job. I just couldn't believe it didn't leave better sign. I'm happy for him.

Saw in the latest issue of NY Outdoor News, three hunters in Michigan keeled over with heart attacks dragging out their Deer this fall and there will probably be many more throughout the country. A reminder to stay in the best physical shape you can. Al

I’ve been up since 4:30AM listening to the boiler run. Ten degrees outside. I suspect the deer are curled up in balls with their noses tucked in, conserving energy. I’ll approach the cut over corn fields this afternoon from the cornfield side, and try to catch them coming out of the woods.

I agree! I just texted my buddy a few minutes ago, the same plan. : )

All afternoon hunting for me after the rut. Only after mature bucks and they are thinking about their belly now. They won’t bed far from food and morning can blow a spot out. Sleep in and then go out early afternoon and kill your mature deer.

A nice thing about the cameras is that you see some of the survivors .
