First accumulating snow of the year was yesterday, sure wish I could have been out there. Best of luck to all of you.

You didn't miss much.

19 degrees and breezy when I got up and tied in.  Had 15 does come in off the flat yesterday morning.  4 small bucks.  I froze out around 11:30.  You'd think with 15 does....... 13 of them ADULT doe.........that hilltop woulda been covered UP in mature bucks, scent checking, chasing, breeding, etc.  Nope.  Nada.

Weird week of hunting.  From last Saturday thru yesterday, I saw 22 different bucks.  Only one was a shooter.  None of the other 21 would have cracked the 100" mark.  Very little rut activity, overall.  With overnight and morning temps in the teens and 20's and daytime highs not out of the 30's it should have been going full-bore.............one would think.

Anyhoo............this coming Saturday will be my last hurrah with the bow.   It'll either happen or it won't.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

I sat till noon, did see my target buck that I have been semi _hunting. Went back to the truck and warmed up for a half hour then headed to spot #2. As I was pulling my bow up I spied a small buck headed my way. Went ahead and filled tag#2. I haven't had much time to hunt with my boy having to spend 4 days in the hospital along with my kids fall sports. Gonna hold out for a fat doe or decent buck with my final 2 tags. I will say drawing a bow with a broken rib is excruciatingly painful.

I do a lot of float hunting for deer and found it to be higher on the return than stand hunting , the scenery is all the same though...
