I’m pulling cards this morning. If my target isn’t on camera, I’m taking off until some more favorable weather.

The deer don't move much at all here when it's hotter weather.

Native, didn't know if you were aware of the ravin 500 recall or not. This is the list for the owners that have a recall.
 
First sit in one of the new stands. I arrived at 5:57 (sunrise is 7:02).

Just before shooting light, a buck the went behind the blind--snorting all of the way.
Two other deer (I believe a doe and her fawn) went by the blind before shooting light and busted me.

These four hung up at 35 yards, and knew something was wrong, but did not panic. They ended up going north, then west onto the neighbors property. I'll let this blind sit for a month, and will narrow the wind chart, as I believe the treeline is taking this morning's westerly wind north and south along the blind's treeline.

I’m back in the stand. We currently have a south wind that will be changing to a north wind by 7:30 PM. That makes the blind choice limited, so I’m hunting a section of land where my scent will hopefully into the soybeans. IMG_7476.jpeg.

Was the big guy there?
Sorry for a late reply. No, he wasn't there, but the other big ones are still around and coming in legal shooting light. Right now I'm only interested in hunting him, so I'm taking a few days off and seeing if he comes back when our weather changes. Starting tomorrow we are supposed to get rain and cooler weather. However, the beans could be harvested any day now which isn't likely to be a good thing.

Mine was recalled last year, and I sent it back. But, I had better check and see if this is something new or the same thing. Thanks for posting.

Update - that is from March 21, 2024, so mine should be okay.

It was a fun sit with several sightings. The doe always had branches in the way for a clean shot, so no venison yet.

I’m in for a short evening hunt in a new blind. 1” of rain on Tuesday is bringing a little life to the food plot. The squirrels are out in full force.

Didn't see any deer....I had to come in a little early and the deer showed up 5 minutes latter on camera.
