Can I cry??
Came on a line and than at 35 decided to walk across the plot and make a scrape before heading into the woods. Just don’t feel comfortable with that shot and was certain he would stay out in the plot

You hit him?
 
Rough evening got skunked. Then the Electric dirt bike chain came off.
 
Hey bro let me know if you wanna borrow a gun! Get 1 of those bucks at the taxi then head back out with the bow!
One buck state so I live or die with it! But yeah if I’d have had a gun I could have killed the two biggest deer I have before 2 pm on opening day

Back locked up on me. Had to call it a little early, couldn't take it anymore. 0 deer for the day. Weird. Hope it's not a sign of things to come
 
Damp frosty calm morning here. Confidence is low but it only takes one good one out cruising to change that.
Saw nothing all day until an hour before dark when 3 doe came out. I was trapped in the stand until shortly after close when a different deer came and chased them off the plot.
 
Been off all week. Have seen deer but it’s been all fawns and little bucks. Finally saw two does tonight for the first time in a week.

Sums up many a hunt over the years!
 
65 degrees in Nov the extended forecast doesn't look much better either :( atleast it's raining today I pretty much blew up my property blood trailing my buck so hopefully the rain will give me a break. At my honey hole usually like the wind to be atleast 10mph.
 
Hunter the last hour of the day at home in the enclosed trailer parked by my plot. Nothing. Went shopping after dark with my wife. Not sure I got room in the freezer for anything. Calling the nlaws today to see if they got room. Pulled a shredded up toringo crabapple from buck rubs with the tractor yesterday. The wheel spin created pulverized clay dust. We need some rain.

Hunting farmland lunchtime to dusk today with the crossbow. The wind is calm today though. See what happens.

This time 2 years ago I was hunting in snow. Today I’m swatting mosquitoes in a long sleeve tee. We have yet to sniff a frost. At least it is raining though
 
Raining this morning so did something I never do in the morning, crossed the field to the box blind. Bumped 2 or 3 on the way in
Didn't expect much after that, not paying attention like I should be and got surprised by a decent buck(decent for me anyway). Had him a 44 yards my limit is 35 so no go.
 
Two spikes been harassing a doe or two. Haven't gotten winded yet, they keep running back and forth. Been doing this for like 90 mins.
 
Let this guy go was tempted but he looks two he followed the doe trail that walk by me 10 mins earlier . He ended up running into another buck I think was larger couldn't tell if he was a shooter.

I seldom regret the ones I let pass. It’s nice to see great 2 and 3 year olds.
