My hunting buddy went this morning to our lease and said it got so hot around noon, that he loaded up and went to the house. By the way, he has to drive 140 miles just to hunt and usually hunts all day to make it worth the drive. But today, said it was so hot and the bugs were terrible, he just had to leave. SISSY!!!

I thought about going tomorrow afternoon but its going to be 90 or better for the high so I will stay at home and shoot my bow.

Still hoping to go Saturday.

Next week should be better I've been seeing deer at 8am and 5pm

I'll probably give it a try in the morning on one of our local management areas. Not expecting much, never do out there, but ya never know.

Cant kill em on the couch.

I drive a school bus. Plan on getting home Friday morning after morning route about 8:30 AM, loading up my climber, machete, and lopping shears and heading to the woods to hang my stand for Saturday.

I've been seeing them but none in range at all or too thick. Won't hunt this weekend or next with daughters birthday this weekend and Halloween the next. Best of luck guys

Went this morning and hunted a hardwood bottom. Sat from Sun up to about 10 and saw nothing. Moved about 200 yards north west and stayed to 11:30 but again saw nothing. When driving out, two bucks crossed the road in front of me. One was really nice and heavy. Saw 9 does cross here last year. May scout this spot out and see if I can find me a try to hunt next time we have a NNW wind.

I've found a lot of good places to hunt unintentionally just like that.

I drive a school bus and get finished with my morning run at 7:25 AM. Thought about going hunting this morning for a couple hours but had a health fair at work i needed to attend.

Looks like Saturday morning is the next time I can go.

Going to go in the morning. I went and trimmed some limbs back today on my lunch so I have a semi descent open shot on this oak tree that's dropping acorns has a deer $hit everywhere around the base. Checked cam and morning activity has been constant. Hope the wind is right and I should be able to get us some points in the morning. Best of luck to u guys

About to get ready and head out myself. Just about sick with a cold and got a ton of stuff to do today but want to give it a shot for a couple of hours.

Everyone be safe, may God bless yall and have a good time!!!

Went Saturday morning and hunted the edges of where a hardwood bottom and pines meet. Been in stand about 10 minutes and hear one blowing southeast of my set up. I was upwind from it and far enough away it couldn't see me. I am set up about 150 yards from a dirt road and I see and hear about 25 members of a local college track team come running by being followed by one of their vans.

Needless to say, I saw nothing. Started to move and get deeper into the woods but as mentioned in an earlier post, am full of cold and coughing and didn't want to get too worked up and sweaty.

I'm ready for muzzleloader

I can't catch a break with these dang deer. Only if I could fling an arrow over 50 yards I would be good. Too many acorns where I'm at. Can't predict which tree their gonna be under. I'm giving my properties a break until gun opens up. Not many properties hunted that's near me so hopefully deer won't get gun shy.

I had a biggun I think I missed last year come by me at 50 yards. I killed another doe Sunday evening but she had EHD.

Already put in vacation day for Friday. With temps dropping down I have to get in the woods. Haven't stepped foot on a property that's only 27 acres but sets in hardwoods bordering a wide powerline. Always deer here but the does are very smart. Have to hunt the wind right here or you wont see a thing.

You just perfectly described one place I hunt Stone Man. I ain't going in there till the rut though. There's never any bucks in there this time of year it seems. But them does bring em in around January.

My buddy went today and had two blow at him and shot at a coyote. As mentioned earlier, the loggers showed up this morning and started cutting. They said it may take 2 to 3 weeks before their gone.

I have a loc-on in the bottom where a creek runs through the hardwoods. Haven't stepped foot in there since I hung the stand. Haven't checked game cam in there in almost 3.5 months. Passed up on some good solid bucks last year at that property. Hopefully when I wake Friday morning the wind will be right and if not then I will go to my other property depending on wind direction.

Glad to finally hear someone else on the same page as me about hunting pressure. I love to hunt. But I can constantly disturb the areas I do hunt so I have a whole bunch of land I frequent. Including public land. Most public land down here has less pressure than the hunting clubs.
