She let her first arrow fly tonight after watching 3 does for 30 minutes. It was a 30 yard shot and a clean miss. I think my heart was beating as fast as hers. She’s taking it pretty hard I told het it happens to the best of us and tomorrow is a new day. I was definitely proud of her patience and stillness. I think the doe ducked her arrow.

That watering hole looks to help bring them in and I’m already brainstorming for next year.
Ended up bailing 20 min before last shot due to more rain pending. Did a drive around and spotted some deer I may try to make a move on tomorrow afternoon. We’ll see.
Hang and hunt this am. Have no expectations, but with this weather and it nearing the end of October I figured I had to be out somewhere.
Didn’t see shit this morning minus 1 squirrel. Scouted my way out and found some more buck deer sign a little further into this marsh bullshit so that’s where I’m at for the evening. Thankfully I got super sweaty and mud up to my calves on the trek in. I’m sure a lot of deer will be happy to move around in 35mph+ wind gusts 
1 squirrel totally made my efforts worthwhile and getting all of my shit soaked. Telling myself tracking and dragging in that rain would’ve sucked balls so I feel less bad lol
Stuff is revving up a touch here. Heard a mature buck was locked on a doe in a ditch bottom yesterday. I just watched a stud on a mission in my section. Great weather to get a kick off of rut stuff heating up....

Got out of class early so I’m in. Pissed off, sweaty and sitting on the ground looking at all my climbing gear. I’ll be impressed if I even have a deer blow at me at this rate Good luck to anyone else out, buddy that has a camera a mile or so away has had 4 different young bucks on it in the past 2 hours.

Just in, had to wait for the sun, such as it was today, to slide past the hill. This stand needs a down thermal to work so, waiting on the down thermal for this to work... 
Bucks were marching around this AM.

Were in savannahs up cooper tagged along he thinks they are gonna double up again.
I’m in. First hang n hunt of the season. Wasn’t planning on hunting tonight but wifey got home from work early. Slipped into a public piece in a spot that sets up perfect for this west wind. I’m inside 100 yds of two known bedding areas. Hopefully something is sleeping in there today. Beautiful night so far regardless.
Like Chad said above, my cams were absolutely blowing up last night and this morning. If you’re not hunting yet you oughta be thinking about it real quick.

I had 2 bucks in shooting light, average 6 point and smaller 8. Got down at dark and wasn't even to the house yet and got pic of good 8 with doe right at the water hole. 15 minutes sooner probably would have shot him.
Zero deer sighted, hard to believe. Planning to hunt the am, but we’ll see.
