Good luck to all. It’s a zoo over here. White oaks dropping all around me. Foxes screaming and running around causing the turkeys in the trees to pipe in. Now dogs are barking. And it’s nice and cool. Great day all ready
But , I’m at the mercy of the USPS for tags. I’m down to 2 in pocket.
Good luck all. Bill V

Saw five this morning, including a big bodied goofy half rack buck. Another three tonight. Must be getting softer in my old age. Last doe came in around 6:45pm. Fed back and forth at about 15-18 yards. Broadside. Picked up the bow twice... let her walk. Was a fine evening!!

Big doe and button buck came in at 6:25 and ate acorns for 45 minutes. Thought they'd never leave. Great sunset.

No sightings this morning. Did somebody tell them the lull was early this year. Going to sit up in a big oak grove this afternoon if I go out. Listen to the acorns fall.

New stand location this evening. Had a 4 point feeding on acorns about 40 yards from me for 30 minutes or so and a group of 4 or 5 pass through between around 40-50 yards.
Looks like I'll be moving another 20 yards or so and see what happens.

Had my first sit in last year's stand where I scored on a mature buck. Got there a little late and the wind was blowing all wrong. At 6 I stood up to stretch and when I went to sit down I saw a little buck approaching from behind my right side with the wind to his back. Who'd figure the wrong wind worked for once. He looked at 4 times before walking over the top of the hill. Left a little early and saw a doe standing on the dam/bridge I had to cross, then a high racked six point at the food plot before I got home. 3 does in the field beside the house. Chise is here, the 2D trad bow weekend begins Thursday.

Son and I went out yesterday evening and sat in a ground on the same oak flat I shot my buck at earlier. Ended up only seeing one doe and lots of squirrels and chippies. One squirrel almost climbed in the blind with us. He got a kick out of that. Bought a new pair of rubber boots for him and his sister to share in the early season when I take them out and when I asked, do they feel good, he said, I'm not complaining, am I? Snarky little teenagers....lol...

Saw one doe last night. My son was in another spot about 250 yards away saw a nice 8 point and 4 doe. He told me the buck was about 15 yards away and got a little squirrely and trotted off. I hate nights with no breeze. Scent just drops and pools around the stand.

Got out last Saturday afternoon, not in morning. Had to much to do, I hate that because when I have things to do I sit in my stand thinking about it. I hope to finish up this weekend and then it's game on. By the way on Saturday afternoon, I did hear a dog barking!!! :)

We hunted a property in Armstrong County this morning, Chise in a blind and me in a ladder stand. Deer were close by on our way in. Chise saw 3 does. I saw 6 does and a little buck. Never a dull moment. Going back in PM.

I have only been out twice so far. Once in 2B 2 weeks ago and went out the first morning of the regular archery.
Had this nine point in the pic (screenshot of video cause I don’t know how to post videos on here) feed past me twice in 2B my first day out. Was a little to early and bigger bucks in the area. Saw 10 does and fawns on the first morning of the regular archery.
