After sitting yesterday evening and analyzing the new spot I mapped out what needed cleared. So I went in today and busted my ass clearing shooting lanes and vision lanes. Checked the camera on the way out and there was a nice 10 poiinter on ther about 2 hours after we left. Figures...
They never come in when we are there in shooting light! Lol

I guess ZJ and Diane are both hunting tonight....She's going to the fallen barn (Excellent Blind) where some shooters have been frequenting. She says since ZJ is gonna try and tag-out.......It's Buck only for her. The heater is still going to the blind to keep him in there longer as wind is right.
About to check 8 camera chips....So may be an alternate plan I am unaware of..........

ZJ is Officially Tagged Out!......He shot a good sized doe tonight and used the last tag. He's a Happy Camper as he beat the old record. He got his buck and 3 doe this year.....(and Dad is tired!)

Z says THANK YOU to you all.....I read all these to him and he is wound up like an 8 day clock. Haven't checked it yet, but do believe it was light enough (and I seen her coming way off) so I think I got this one on video....Update: Yes, I have it on video!.......Now If I can only figure out how to download it off the action cam............

Was it wrong of me to actually think about it though before making my decision? LOL

In November? No. In mid-December? Eh, borderline in my opinion. I would say most of us have hunted long and hard already, therefore staying home for a sure thing bj would be the right choice. However, I am also thinking you haven't had a ton of time to get out and hunt this year? If correct, then according to my calculations, you could flip a coin and not be wrong either way.rotflmao

Had every intention of going out this morning. My last job of the day yesterday was about a quarter mile from the ridge. I swung in there just to check and make sure that no one had messed with my setup. Twenty yards from my setup was a fresh scrape and rub.

Had the company Christmas party last night. Wife and I decided to go out with the group for a few drinks and ended up closing out the bar. Was just going to stay up and then go out but then the wife offered up a bargain that was a little unfair if you ask me. B.j. or hunting in the morning? Needless to say I didn't make it to the woods this morning

I wanted to hunt barely though because what you guys are saying about the second rut is exactly what I was thinking. Might just go out this evening and see what happens.

Uhhhh, if your house is anything like mine a beej is about as rare as a boone and crockett buck.......never pass up a beej!:smiley_crocodile:

I hunted last night and saw 5 does and a shooter buck, but the buck would not present a shot. All deer were coming to a picked corn field. Hoping to get back out the next two nights.

That what ended up happening TOO. I kinda feel like I got ripped off, although the sex lasted a whole lot longer than 9 minutes.
