Congrats on the doe, Sherry. A great way to clear the mind.

I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
Hunted Monday, Tuesday and this morning at my Carroll county property. Looks like the barricade I made last April is working well. I could have killed four deer in the last three days, two button bucks, one yearling doe, and one giant adult doe. All four were broadside at less than 20 yards. Didn't see any bucks though. I saw no scrapes rubs or buck sign over the last three days. A little early for my property to turn on though.
I had photos of my neighbor to the north cutting through my creek bottom to cut firewood on my neighbors property to the south. I gave him permission to do this in the spring and summer months. But told him not to do it in the fall. I put up no entry signs Monday at about noon. He came down Monday afternoon and saw the signs and turned around. He is a good neighbor and just needed a reminder that it is hunting season. Hopefully this takes care of this issue, my camera will tell the story.

well I hope he did, nothing worse than an atv showing up after your all settled in on a stand
well made it out this evening, much cooler again today than yesterday, 58 going in, 50 coming out and dropping
had overcast weather all day, felt like it was going to rain or snow, expected to see deer early, so got on stand at about 4 pm
well I was wrong, didn't see a thing till about 6 pm, then they started to show up
I was set up off a bean field food plot, I had deer at about 150 yrds and at 50 yrds and deer at about 80 yrds all at the same time, ONLY the deer in the middle at about 80 yrds were on high super high alert, kept snortting and running out of field back into the woods, then back out for 5 minutes and then snort and run off again, they did this over and over till dark, other deer never even looked at them?? so go figure what there problem was, wind was blowing from them to me, so??
and was a steady wind too. overall had 12 deer show up, all doe and yearlyings, but two small bucks, one 4 and one 5 pointer
slow night more or less even with 12 deer coming out!
try again tomorrow if it doesn't rain!
The cooler temps are a big plus. I'm trying to hunt the cooler days of the week also. Going to be in the 70's for the next 4-6 days. I'm supposed to take some youth hunters out this weekend. Wish the weather would be cooler.

ty be safe out there...and good luck
I don't care who you are, but when your in the woods and it turns pitch black, your mind can really play tricks on you expecially when you don't know the woods. :001_07:
