I have started a little late so I will backdate.
Opening morning did not yield great results for us.
No sightings of anything all morning, until we left. Bumped 2 deer out of their bed but could not get a great look at them.
Later that evening the rain moved in and my significant other just couldn't take it any more.
So we moved down the logging road to a ground blind and stayed dry until just before dark.
A half hour before dark and the woods was dead quiet, i made the decision to walk back toward the house and take a look in the Milo fields.
To our surprise there was a doe with a fawn crossing the road. We were able to put a successful sneak on them and get within 15 yards by sneaking through the milo and prarie grass.
This past Friday I had the day off work to put my truck back together (this was put on hold and it is still in pieces), I did make it out for a morning hunt.
Had a basket rack 11 and 4 does at 10 yards for a half hour or so and then they passed on.
Sunday morning I took a stroll over and hunted with my old man (he doesn't hit the woods as much as he used to)
I hopped in the stand I had killed my first deer from and sat for the morning.
Fortunately the only action all morning was me devouring the breakfast sandwich my dad slipped in my pack.
That evening we set out to move a stand that was on the field edge nearest the house.
We pulled the stand and put it on the other side of the farm.
After the stand was in the tree we got smoked up and headed out for the evening hunt.
As dark neared we had seen about 65,000 squirrels we heard a coyote start to yip in the ditch below us.
As we headed out into he dark the entire pack lit up.
Looking forward to getting in the new stand at the end of the month.
