He just cane in on a sting .

He might have come in on a string but if he was that close to my stand he would have been going out on a rope. You have more discipline than I.

A co-worker just punched his tag on a 120" 8 here in Monroe County. Said there was alot of seeking behavior in his area this AM. Bucks roaming and signposting but no major buck/doe interactions.

I don't know about anywhere else but here in 8F the wind has picked up and is swirling. It was out of the west this morning but now it is coming from the SSE.

Back to the house,nothing but squirrels and chipmunks 

[grampy]

I'm ready and raring to get out for the first time tomorrow!! 

Got a very twitchy trigger finger, and and an empty freezer, from not shooting one last year.

Not gonna be as selective this year!!!

Had some decent bucks moving this AM right at daybreak. Hunting tonight and probably (maybe hopefully not) tomorrow morning. Then it's football playoffs Sunday.

Checked cam on way in, holy smokes.

I try to not get overly excited about night pics... but damn to know he's "in the area" is exciting! I'd for sure fling one over his back while my knees were shaking.

730 pm, they all bed on this property. I saw him Tuesday morning from the cabin at 7 am.

[Hock3y24]

Not even a tail this am, getting some food and a nap then back out!

Holding out for another 30-40 minutes and then heading in for lunch. Damn you Hunters Moon!!!

Nothing in pa this morning couldn't hunt as long as I had hoped brothers surgery was done earlier than expected so I was out of the stand by 830. Going tomorrow morning. 

It's been a rough year to start for me.  I haven't had a deer walk past me in daylight yet.  However it's been very warm and when we do get a cool morning or night I'm I'm work.  I have sometime coming up and have a very itchy trigger finger.

I heard the sound of 4 different large things moving earlier this morning but nothing in the last hour.  Two were in the thick brush to my left, one was over the ravine to the right of the broken pine upwind of me, and the last was in the short scrub pine to my right.

No idea what any of them were, but all sounded bigger than squirrels.  A single red was the only game I have actually seen this morning.  The temps are in the lower 40’s and I am going to give it another 1/2 hour.  
 

I lasted until 10:30 before picking up the phone anyhow.  That was a lot easier when I was hearing big stuff moving around close by.

Have to work so climbed down. Went to step over a squishy mud puddle , look up and oops 3 good doe staring at me at 40. They gently booted. Half ass tails up. Walked another 125 yards and there they were feeding in corner of the field. Current temp of 47. Wish I could have stayed all day. 

[Bolt action]

Climbed down a little while ago and got myself cleaned up. No deer seen. In the office now plotting my approach tomorrow morning. I think I'm going to sit over the bean field, although I haven't seen as much activity in it since they turned brown.

Good luck, I will be out also. Hope fully the buck get the memo and want to dance.

Agree....that joker would have gotten an arrow his way.

@The Jerkman loves the October Lull

[phade]

Didn’t want to use this lame homemade cam mount my hunting partner made. He insisted. LOL. At least we will fix it tomorrow.

This guy has daylighted on two cams in the morning back to back within 10 yards of our stands there. Risky business.

I’m at work but my two boys went out in the am. Older one saw three doe 45 yds. Younger guy saw 3 does 20 yards and a lamb at 5 yards. Rain chased them in for now. No bucks but they saw a couple of bucks driving around during daylight. A good sign.

Time to hit my opening day spot again.  I'll sneak in early tomorrow setup well before daylight. I'll be really close on the wind but I was on the opener and still had one of the big boys come in the dark and bed right behind me. I can only sit until 9-930 but I hope I don't need that much time. 

[mlammerhirt]

Cams just started to pop.....suggestion to get in the woods if possible for the afternoon sit.
Had a group of doe work their way past a cam....and now a buck 45 min later.

I finally had one of my shooters back on cam. Too bad it was 1 am this morning. I will be on my way back to the stand very soon. Screw work....lol
