Looks like a Christmas card Mike!

Good luck to everyone who is out. I just got into stand. Hopefully today is more productive than yesterday.

Here is where I was sitting at about 8:30, after getting permission via text from the landowner who was not hunting. I would have killed a doe, but I jumped them coming in.

Those buggers were right in front of my blind...and I was being so slow and careful....didnt see anything cept fer squirrels the rest of the night. Yall lied to me. Today was worse than day 1 (and thats not sayin much) , lol. Epes been seein some and took a shot at a runnin yote last I heard but he missed and said sumpin about dodging avalanches , LMAO!!

BTW, I wasnt going to the blind - maybe I shoulda went there instead and stayed all day?

Darndest thing I've ever seen.....Arrow Coated from end to end and no blood in first 20-30 yards.......Light started dying and was in doubt....So Backed out and will try again in the morning after a short hunt..........Thought we had one for sure.

High hit cavity filling up? Or a chunk of fat filled the wound on sealed it up?

Ended up seeing one small buck at around 60yds and a couple yearlings about 100-120yds the last two hours. I heard one shot which sounded to be on our property but did not go looking for them with 30min shooting light left. Frustrating. I did at least get a shot at a coyote. Now I am getting ready to drop her at the taxidermists here shortly. Looking forward to seeing how Mike at Whitetail Specialties does with her. Big female I carved a canoe out of.

One of my son's buddies dropped a button buck this afternoon on the last push for the day.... 80 yard shot from a treestand on the property that they have permission too hunt.... He thought it was a doe and ended up being a button buck..... Nice shot and dropped him in his tracks.....
