I hate coyotes I'm sitting in one of my stands rn and just a few minutes ago 4 or 5 coyotes came out at about 150 yards from me but they were on neighbors property otherwise I woulda blasted them. Tried calling em in but they didn't seem too interested; they'd just stop running and look when I started calling but then just continued running back and forth.

It's no wonder I'm not seeing deer

Morning sunshine r ise

Beautiful sunrise!

nephews sunrise yesterday. I really like this one.

Saw a few but none were in range. It's a long season I just need one more.

Did some drives on public with a big group today. We pushed a lot of deer around and one of the kids got a nub buck. Only mammal I saw was this snowshoe hare. He sat still and let me get to about 4 feet from him and never moved. I feel like I may have given him a false sense of how well his camouflage was working. The snow coming Wednesday will help him out for sure.

It was raining during sit time today so I worked on my chore list.

Raining now but leaving camp today so headed out after a sit down in the 2 holer.

Raining here too. Had to opt for a ground blind in the woods today to get out of it

Well at least I finally saw some. Had a little one-sided 2 or 3 point buck at 15 yards but I passed cuz... well, it's a one-sided 2 or 3 point buck. Then I also kicked up a doe but I couldn't shoot cuz there was a road behind her. But at least now I know there are deer around lol

I finally saw a small buck today. Fork or 6. No way I'd pass on that lol, but he jumped out of his bed and hit the thick brush before I could get the scope covers off. Oh well finally saw a buck during gun season. Closed up camp, home now and tomorrow we hit the big woods to make drives. If its brown its down tomorrow. Fingers crossed I dont get stuck sounds like a pile of snow tonight and tomorrow morning so good tracking and good vision.

Best of luck and a safe hunt to you and your crew, Trap Setter!

Moosetrot

I didn't even attempt to go out this morning. Looked outside at the 30 mph winds bringing in snow and I was like, ain't no way lol.

CpyoteCowboy, that's what I'd do too. Don't let any of these guys give ya crap over it either. What county are you in, must be up north. I'm in Crawford/Grant and we got a dusting and the winds howling out there. I've got to work anyway and I've also shot 2 does. One with an Xbow in October and one with a rifle Sunday.

I shot a nice doe on Monday evening. Good meat. The weather was going to get ugly and my help was going home so I couldn't wait any longer. Right now it's snowing with a 30 mph wind. I made the right decision. Chopped it up yesterday and will grind burger today. I'm 74 and any time I can still go is a successful outing.

Yeah, I figured the deer would all be bedded down, plus I kinda needed a break anyway. Slept in til 6:30! Yeah I'm a little bit further north. St. Croix county

I got this buck and a doe opening day before 8 am. Donated them to the Hunt for the Hungry program since my freezer is already full of meat. I even got my 87 year old father out to help drag them in with the Gator. He had a major stroke in August so I was glad for him to experience the hunt this fall. Not sure how many more we will ever have. Cherish the time you have.

My Dad. Enjoyed telling stories of past hunts and spending the time together.

Thats awesome Green Bay. I know my dad's hunts are numbered too, cherish those times.

That's what it's all about right there. We lost the patriarch of our deer camp, my grandpa, back in 2008. What I wouldn't give to have one more night of sheepshead with him.
