Beautiful afternoon in 9A 55f very light SW breeze and sunny. Hopefully they will cut corn on sisters property soon. Good luck anybody that's out.

No sightings between 3 hunters. One of the hunters jumped one on the way out to meet with me that was all the excitement tonight. It was an absolutely beautiful evening in the woods still.

I won’t get out again this week up my land in 6k before I leave for Illinois on Friday for a week. Still stressing over leaving the office for a week of hunting but I owe it to my nephew to do this trip with him. Its a bucket kist hunt. We have had 15-20 does and young bucks out in the plots at the same time on our 3 hunts. Last picture is of a big 6 I am considering taking. Third year he has been a 6 and I love big 6s. We have 2 nice 8s that I think will get a pass this year. Its just my wife snd me on the 160 acres we bought 3 years ago.  No one hunts the 7-800 or more surrounding acres. We are trying to see what potential we have to grow some big deer.

Heading out to one of my new state land spots in 6k. I think it borders Greendrakes land ( just kidding). Good luck to all those going out.

Very windy and mild temps this morning. Deer moved early here.

[Hock3y24]

Cell cams show bucks moving a lot. Still first and last hours of daylight but new bucks showing up

I'm not a trophy hunter, but won't shoot a spike either. Yesterday I had this guy feed in to 20 yards then bed with his forward shoulder facing me. I knew I could make the shot but figured I'd wait him out. 20min later I hear my nephews truck and see him park, the buck could see him too.  I knew he was going bolt as he started to "lift", so I shot.  Bolt hit him just in front of the shoulder. He went 80 yrds. Arrow took out heart, lungs and liver.

Couldn’t get out this week. Had to get everything accomplished at the office before we head to Illinois this afternoon for a week on a bow hunt. People will think i am crazy , but I would rather stay here and hunt my farm. We put a lot of work into it snd have a couple nice deer we want to see on the hoof, especially that big 6. This trip is my nephew’s dream hunt. He is a great young man and deserves this trip. Wish you all safe and good hunting.

Heading back up on the hill for an afternoon watch. Temps are supposed to start dropping pretty good this afternoon and the wind is supposed to subside. Good luck to everyone going out.

I got up this morning got dressed, grabbed my bow, got the wheeler out, and went back in the house. lol

It was going to be beautiful out, but I really did not want to risk shooting a deer with the temps going as high as 70 degrees.  I did eventually go out and do a little scouting and located a spot with three fresh scrapes and two good sized trees all rubbed up in the apple trees. I had a ladder stand up about 60 or 70 yards away, so I pulled it down and relocated it in a great spot overlooking the scrapes and rubs. I'll save that spot for crossbow or shotgun, but also put one of my cheap trail cams there to see if I can get a peek at who is ripping the spot up.

I'll hit my pine tree stand in the morning if it's cool enough, otherwise I'll wait until next weekend to get back on stand.

Saw light chasing this am, 10 deer total, nice 8 popped up on the cell came on the wrong trail 400 yards away at 9am. Then everything shut right down including on cams for the day. Saw one doe this evening. 

[suburbanfarmer]

Saw a buck & doe paired up in 8N
Buck would bed down while she fed..too far at 100yard + away. Was hoping they make it my way.
But sure looked like lock down for those 2..

Then a doe with 2 fawns came down wind and blew everything cleared out  

[First-light]

Nice one taken by my neighbor. G2's over a foot long. Came in to check out a decoy! Think it will gross between 130-140.
