Well I guess it gives me even more motivation to get out tomorrow and try to get one in this extremely cold weather!

Back on stand. Bowhunting day 3 of our 10 day "doe only" rifle season. I am only targeting mature bucks, wounded does, coyotes, and wild hogs. 20 degrees with 10 mph n breeze. It was 3 degrees this morning and I stayed in. Trail cam shows both target bucks here at 7:45 am. I came over about 10 am to check card and heard one of my east side 10 acre deer camp folks unzipping a blind...sounded like someone dragging a plastic truck Bed Liner through a Brushpile. I walked the east fence and I take it I was seen because they popped off a .22 round...
Yesterday evening in the sleet and driving 30 mph wind I saw 7 does and a wild boar...

21-wow. Looks like you will have some good breeding stock left over.

You and I ain't got a lick of sense.
I thinks the two of us would get along quite well…. at a distance. I like your hunts.
My Plots are just about done for this year. I think I have achieved my goal of drawing some doe family groups to our land. I am noticing less bucks with only about 6 or 7 regulars and 2 of those mature. 1 with decent non typical type headgear and the other just a big old mature broken up 6 pointer. I really want the 6 because IF the other buck makes it I would like to see what he turns into. I figure all the does using our place is the reason for lower buck numbers right now because the does are eating everything in sight and may be a stress on those tired old bucks...
My wife always looks at me funny when I tell her I am going out in some pretty extreme weather to deer hunt. If we had box blinds it would be no big deal but everything is open ladder or hang on. I am going to have to remedy that in the future I think because of the grandkids and my wife has expressed interest. Problem on Whitetail Hollow is I can't figure out how to not make one stick out like a huge wart on my nose in the woods. Deer up here are super attuned to their surroundings as this is their living room and anything new whatsoever causes non use for an extended period of time and if they start relating it to danger they will never use it again. Shots are typically under 50 yards no matter what weapon so everything is up close and personal. Some major land changes would have to be incorporated to make one feasible here.You and I ain't got a lick of sense.
I could incorporate one on our Home 10 (25) because I can build it back off the plots in some treelines the deer don't use and we can shoot from there with rifles and muzzleloaders and only be in a feeding area that is used a couple times a day by the deer. I can set them up for as far a shot as we want to take...
I believe you are right that we would get along famously
Thanks!

I build new box blinds in the late winter. This gives the deer plenty of time to acclimate. Deer on my place pay no attention to the blinds--except for this one old doe. She will enter the plot and stare for a full 5 minutes looking for anything unusual. You have to be perfectly still until she finally relaxes.
Good Luck!Back out looking for a decent doe this afternoon.

I guess it will be Friday for me and Eli even though I am thinking of just driving over to Home 10 tomorrow evening and popping one real quick from the front porch of the house myself so Friday will be all about Eli...
It gets absolutely ridiculous over there with deer...
