Well..all the deer were hiding out in the field of tall grass owned by the neighbor, next to my swampy hemlock spot. Bumped a few on the way in. They bounded 15 yards and snuggled back down into the cover. Not overly bothered by me. I sat my stand for a bit but then decided to camp by a tree next to this field to see if anything got up and moved. I waited well past legal light, just to see. Nothing moved. I bet they wait for darkness.

I've been deer hunting for 6 years and this is my first deer. I never gave up and finally accomplished a long time goal..I've been hooked but now it's an addiction

I couldn't update from the stand yesterday because the cell service is hit or miss from that location. But I got my projects completed early enough to go for an afternoon sit, and got in to the stand at about 2:45.

About 3:45, this guy shows up. I already filled my buck tag, so the only thing I was shooting him with was a video camera.

He was following a doe, and after watching him for a few minutes, he slipped off through the woods with his girlfriend. I don't know if I would have taken him if I still had a tag, but after looking at the video, I may be tempted during the late season when I'm back in the game with a buck tag.

I had a few more does filter in and punched the lone doe tag I had with a 10 yd neck shot about 30 minutes after the buck left.

The freezer thanked me!

Very quiet today. It was super crispy frosty this morning and didn't catch anything moving except a few squirrels. Did some very slow still hunting around the thick stuff after the frost melted. Expected to see something or at least get busted all afternoon but didn't see/hear anything. They are partying in my yard right now that it's dark, I just watched a few bed down in the grass near the driveway.

Pretty sure I stepped on and snapped every possible stick on the way in. 12-15 turkeys roosted 60 yards from my stand. Scared the poop out of me crashing thru the tree tops as they flew out

Still see a bunch in trees, most on ground. Holy kee kee run, yelps , putts from all around me. Awesome !!!

It is unreal how they are even able to survive, so clumsy. I have seen quite a few crash while trying to roost. They always recoup and try again.
