The office is calling my name too... unfortunately stuck behind my desk.

Back in the stand in 9A. Beautiful day, sunny quiet, little wind, above freezing. Now just need deer.

Headed out now for a slow walk and sit along the way.  I can’t still hunt, I suck at it. So slow walk it is.

Same here, I dont even pretend I can still hunt. One thing I do is spot a tree ahead, get there as slow and quietly as you can and stay for a set number of minutes. Then pick your next one and do the same. Into the wind

I'm on my out for my last sit of the year, in my tower  over my clover plot...
The deer  are working the acorns heavy on my oak flat, much more than the clover BUT  the heated, enclosed stand is on the CLOVER field, so it's clover or nothing.....

My acorn flat too? I just got back into my same morning spot

Change of venue.  Over at lease at 7F. Walked around woods by cornfield inn6S and after 6+ hours nothing. So one last try here for a couple hours.   At least here when I don't see nothing I am home in 6 minutes.

Just had 3 doe sneak in behind me. Of course it had to be there as I can't shoot that direction due to houses. Sometimes hunting the Burbs just sucks. At least they moving.

That was wishful thinking... although his aversion to taking does may hurt his odds

If he did there would be an emergency broadcast on the tv/radio so doubting it.

And BurmJohn would log in to retire my backtag and hang it in the rafters!

Too nice of an afternoon to pass up. Hoping something strolls by before sunset. An ugly ass possum came by about an hour ago. Isn't that supposed to be "good luck"????

Best if you ask for his prediction on Weds.

I still hunted along my swamp edge and manged to walk up on two does,even though the snow underneath the fresh snow was crunchy. I went super slow,and as i crested a rise i saw a tail go down,not 40 yds from me. I froze and checked for more deer.  There were at least two,and i was trying to pick out the bigger one,had the wind in my face as predicted until it completely switched and blew towards them. That was the end of that encounter. About 1/2 hr later  i had move further along and saw a deer coming down the hill through dense brush. I thought there were two again,but i lost the one. The other came to 20 yds after a lot of zig zagging and turned out to be a fawn. Pass.

Not a bad day,but nothing to show for. Tomorrow i am getting together with a group of friends and we will do some drives,first time this year for me.

Nada today.  Snow was crunchy and loud underneath a nice fluffy layer on top.  I did find some nice fresh track and followed it for a while.   I think I am bumping them way ahead of me and I am not even seeing them at all.

Tomorrow should be windy and snowy.  Any suggestions on how to hunt the last four hours of the season?  I need a Hail Mary play called from the sidelines! 

[BigVal]

Nada. First season since I was 16 that I didnt punch a tag. All good though I had plenty of opportunities at deer, just a strange season. 

[First-light]

My neighbor told me yesterday at last light he had a buck he got within 80 yards in his cut corn. Gun did not shoot. put 5 different primers in they were all bad. He thinks moister got in somehow. Buck never left even as he drove past in his truck. lol

I dont know where you hunt otto,but use the terrain to your advantage. Hide inside a draw and pop over the edge with just your head and scan for a long time. Same with a ridge. Zig zag from one side to the other so you come out 100 to 200 yds from the last spot where you scanned the area below.

Well my season is most likely over today due to weather  conditions  tomorrow.  But not a bad season I didnt get any deer but I had alot of fun time in the woods . Did get a little mad today .on way out of Stewart at 430 the field on the right here stands an 8 pointer close to the road walked away into the middle of the field  with 6 does .acted like he had no more reasons to be scared . See you next year buddy .
