good luck - from what I have seen driving around in our area every little tint of green has deer all over it in the afternoons...you will probably be done by 4:30 this afternoon...

Thanks, pretty sure I'll get a crack at one...debating on getting the grandson out for one last hunt Sat before the "arctic blast"...isn't that on the Sonic menu? either way the weather men will be animated all weekend.
I wanted to get my grandson Eli out for Saturday morning but that is the day he see's his dad and without a box blind there is no way I am going to subject him to the "arctic blast" on Sunday...I am going to watch the weather and when it looks like we will have good conditions for the stand I want us to go to on Home 10 I will take off and pick him up for a nice evening hunt...

I'm going to try and get me a couple do before end of season. Gonna try with the bow though. I see them in the same field every night but haven't been able to get right on them yet.

A more detailed story over at my Property Tour
Nine year old grandson Jack had been practicing with 223. He and I sat in the cold Thursday pm and this am. Saw a couple but no shot.
Mid day we were shooting at targets and I get an email with picture of deer at mandy. We put on a stealth stalk, snuck up behind a big hickory, and Jack did the rest. I tell him "Rest the gun on the tree, breathe, find shoulder and squeeze" First shot ever and no tracking needed.
Pictures, phone calls, messaging, trip to processor and this is Jack on the way home

Past week cold and windy with temps in single digits and windchill below zero. Morning temp of 6 deg warmed to near 30 this afternoon. Great day with no wind and dead quite in snow soaked woods with 3 day doe season in force.
I hate how some days I've just gotten too soft. Late getting out this evening heading to stand to take a doe with my pistol. Working slow checking out some spots I know deer sometimes browse, I literally rounded a mound and stood looking at two does at 30 yard, standing looking at me as if posing for a pic. Raised the 44 as I cocked hammer and with the one doe in cross hair….yea I wimped and dropped the pistol to my side releasing hammer. We stood for a minute staring at one another, and then they bounded up the mountainside. I placed the crosshairs on second one at 70 yards when she stopped, then shouldered pistol and continued to stand. Pretty worthless predator I am some days. Saw a few more doe and bucks, came home to dinner of backstraps in the crockpot.

Back out this evening! Saw a couple does and fawns this morning, and a spike.
Set this stand after this mornings hunt. Seen lots of deer pass this little opening from a stand that's about 50yds from here. Hopefully It works.

Didn't go out this morning after checking cams last night and realizing most activity here is in the evening now. 1 of my target bucks was near the stand I am in now twice before dark last week. Hoping with this cold front blowing through they get up early. Wind direction is perfect but ver blustery. Ice everywhere here...

That's some aggravating dead dirt you have there Andrew. Sure is frustrating. Missing is kinda like riding a motorcycle in bad weather, you hate it, but it makes for some of the most interesting stories. Just sayin.Dang,Missed a doe this evening, ranged her at 34 settled the pin and released, went right over her back. After the shot I ranged the spot at it said 27.looks like just got a hair or two.
