Unfortunately I won't be back until the first weekend in November. But hopefully that will be prime time. If I'm lucky I may get out for a bit on public here in IL sunday afternoon but it's going to be warm again by then.

First hunt of the season.
Hunting a very low impact stand. In a narrow finger of trees. Hoping to catch a smart one sneaking to a remote bedding area.
Probably not going to see a lot, but the few I do see will be up close and personal.

Finally got skunked this morning. I had seen at least 1 deer every other time this year. My average is typically 6-8 deer a hunt. Perfect weather to be out just need a good piece of ground to hunt.

My first sit tonight. saw 4 bucks with the 1st coming out at 3:45 pm. I was a wreck as my 1st sit is always trying to prep for the real time ... checking equipment, what did I forget, what did I leave out?
He was a small basket rack and decided to bed 25 yards in front of me ... he got up 20 minutes later ... o_O
Saw 12 does and 4 bucks, the small guys were trying to act large. Nice peaceful afternoon and some activity.
10 minutes before closing one of my target bucks walked out ... at 75 yards he has now presented me with his true self ... I like game cameras; however, they only tell half the story... this dude is clearly the alpha ... need to rethink a bunch of things but I now have a focus, how do I plan a attack so as to not disrupt him? I have a ton of pics & videos and I know some of his patterns ... the goal will be to postion myself at a point wher he might be stupid ... we'll see ... :)

Back out this am.
I grunted in the biggest buck I have ever seen archery hunting here in WI.
Solid 140 - 150 10 point.
I screwed up, he caught me moving (when I didn't need to be moving). Would have been a 15 yard chip shot.
I know better, but I was nervous.
Super frustrated right now!

No he came out onto it and was going to walk by me on the trail until he saw me move
